Sportsball 5-19-17
We have come to the end of this edition of Sportsball, and I thank everyone for playing.
This one is going to be a guessing game, and each answer will be worth five points. For each major pro sports league (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) name the team whose official Twitter account has the most followers and the team with the fewest (as of a few weeks ago when I looked them up). If you are not a Twitter user you should still be able to make an educated guess about most of these, and even if you are a Twitter user you will not know any of these for sure unless you have looked them up. I started having second thoughts about this game, but decided to go with it anyway. Please don't be mad at me.

So it appears that the Lakers have the most Twitter followers of any US pro sports team. But compare their 6.14M to, say, FC Barcelona (21.3M).elwoodblues wrote:We have come to the end of this edition of Sportsball, and I thank everyone for playing.

I might have guessed the Cowboys, but they were second with 2.9M

Solo Home Run for LB.

Another Solo Home Run for Weasel.
It occurred to me that the Montreal Canadiens might have accounts in English and in French, but they use one main account and usually send tweets in French and then in English.
