The network of SB Nation communities saw a new record for most comments ever on a single day thanks to the start of football season. However, the success of the app also played a significant role. SB Nation, established over 20 years ago, has always been built around the concept of community, with millions of comments being made each month.
The effort to make the app easier for new users resulted in interesting data about the most common pairings of favorite teams on the network. Detroit fans, who follow the Lions, Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings, were the most common. Philadelphia fans, who support the Eagles, 76ers, Phillies, and Flyers, came in second. Seattle, Kansas City, and the Wisconsin area, which includes the Packers and Brewers, were the third most common.
The NFL Feed on Sundays featured fans from all 32 NFL teams, creating a fun and engaging atmosphere. The app was designed with community in mind, making it quicker to scroll through comments, faster for game day threads, and easier to post. It seems the app has already attracted a lot of users.
