[QUOTE="unrated, post: 899535, member: 45773"] You are fiercely defending the creator of the Infographic. Some of the cities and teams referenced might be completely correct. Other i immediately picked up is not correct. As Smartcooky pointed out some of these teams are actually provincial instead of city based. Now the author is being very very selective in what stats he uses. I don't want to comment too much on the other cities and teams as i profess ignorance on them apart from the basic internet searches you can do. In some places as pointed out he uses metro area stats and others just the city ( which is basically city centre without the surrounding areas). I will use Durban as a case study. He just uses the city centre. Now while it would be naive on my part to suggest that no one in the Durban city centre are supporters who attends home games i can say with some certainty that most of the city centre residents do not give a **** about rugby. A small minority would though. Therefore the stats being used are very selective. Yes the author states where he got his stats from but that still does not justify their inclusion. The author just decided it will be the city stats. Well that's not how the landscape here works making this very misleading. I still reiterate my stance that i think this is a cool idea, the author should be willing to accept criticism in order to make it more accurate. But unfortunately in its current state it is inaccurate and in actuality the percentages will differ from those stated. [/QUOTE]
