Colts Fans Love Nickelback, According to Facebook-User Data Research

Facebook knows your soul.

The social-media giant can reach down into its labyrinth of servers and pull out some truly ridiculous information on its users.

Its research and findings are typically silly and weird. This summer the site found that one in 18 children born in Argentina during the 1986 World Cup were named after famous Argentinian striker Diego Maradona. It’s mostly playful and fun, or it should be.

Unfortunately, recent Facebook research done in collaboration with Billboard has uncovered a number of decidedly dire findings—information no one wants shared or posted in the public realm. But the leak is here, and the evidence is now on the wall. 

Colts fans love Nickelback. 

I know. It’s hard to stomach, but it’s not the only sad and embarrassing revelation the website unveiled while compiling data on football fans. The following is an extensive list of each NFL fanbase’s favorite music artist. 

Warning: What you’re about to see may shock you.

Facebook put this information together by simply tallying the number of “likes” each artist’s page had per fan base.

So what did we learn today? Or what surprised you most?

It’s no shock that Dallas Cowboys fans love Shakira, but how are we to reconcile Philadelphia’s secret love for Drake? I can understand St. Louis loving hometown hero Nelly, but Buffalo Bills fans and the Beatles? I may lose sleep over that. 

In any case, you’ve been outed, Indianapolis. You like Nickelback, and now your opponents will make the signs to prove it. God bless your souls.
