chasfh Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I've had the idea before to start a thread in which people could post interesting maps of all types that they come across, but just never got around to it until now. So here is that thread. I'll start it out with a few posts and let's see if this thread gets any traction. Why place the thread in the political forum? Because I suspect that when certain maps get posted, a political discussion/debate/fight might ensue, so better to segregate the map thread from the genteel parts of the forum now than have to move it later. But maps are, almost by definition, political anyway, so might as well just acknowledge the potential for such spirited discourse upfront.

chasfh Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) “Big Six” sports teams in the U.S. and Canada by media market You may notice the Nashville Predators are missing. Not sure of anyone else is. EDIT: Reviewing it in a little more depth, the thing that surprises me the most is the realization that London, ONT is a top 60 media market!
