Where Bears Fans Live


In the final twelvemonth at that spot accept been a lot of maps close fans of diverse sports teams based on Facebook likes. You accept in all likelihood already seen the New York Times' maps of the Basketball Nation, the College Football Fan Map and the Baseball Nation. These maps present the back upward of sports teams based on their issue of Facebook fans.

Where Bears Fans Live is a novel map of where Chicago Bears fans reside. The heat-map shows where Chicago Bears alive based on the per centum of Facebook users who 'like' the team. I don't want to imply this is a bad or unnecessary map but I couldn't aid noticing a slight resemblance to the How Far Away is Ohio? map.


The How Far Away is Ohio? map featured yesterday inward a postal service on Vox, entitled, 27 Hilariously Bad Maps that Explain Nothing. Vox often publishes long lists of maps that hope to (but hardly ever) explicate the world. This is inward fact the start listing from Vox that I've seen which genuinely contains simply about useful maps - if solely equally examples of bad maps. To survive fair to Vox they accept included 1 of their ain maps inward the list.
