In the last year the two-time defending champion Miami Heat have overtaken the Los Angeles Lakers as America's favorite NBA team, according to an ESPN Sports Poll.

The Dallas Cowboys are the polled fans' favorite sports team, and three other NFL teams are in the top five -- the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 2, the Green Bay Packers at No. 3 and the Denver Broncos at No. 5. The New York Yankees are fourth in the poll.

The ESPN Sports Poll's 12-month findings also showed that the NFL is America's favorite sports league and accounted for 40 percent of the top 10 favorite athletes of fans polled. Overall, seven of America's 10 favorite sports teams are NFL teams.

The haters are just loud. The Heat are now America's favorite team, so there's more fans than haters.

fan base demographics for all major sports through a monthly telephone survey of 1,500 Americans ages 12 and older.

Why would anyone thing that poll means anything important?

Favorite NBA team.

Obviously, the article says the NFL is more popular which bumps Miami down to #6 overall
