What do you think that expression really means?  To me if it means
anything, it ought to refer to a team that is much more popular than any
other in its sport.  I'd be curious if there's been any polls on what
team has the most fans.  I'd be surprised if any rates higher than 20%.
If so, the term is baseless.
