The Buccaneers were one of America’s most popular sports teams in April

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the nation’s most popular teams during the month of April. As a matter of fact, they were near the top in interactions.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made some major moves during the offseason and that has brought more spotlight to the organization than it has seen since its Super Bowl in 2003.

The minute the Buccaneers signed Tom Brady, they were put on the map. Tampa Bay immediately became a legitimate postseason contender and one of the favorites among analysts across the nation.

According to Twitter interactions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the most popular sports teams in America during the month of April.

The Bucs had 608,000 interactions on Twitter, which was good enough for fourth in the nation among all sports teams in the United States.

The only professional sports teams in the country with more interactions? The Philadelphia Eagles (681K), the Chicago Bulls (769K) and the Los Angeles Lakers (2.64 million).

It’s absolutely astounding to see the popularity of the Tampa Bay franchise over the course of the last couple of months.

The Buccaneers are getting recognition and are being highlighted even more than popular NFL franchises like the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The only NFL franchise to have more interactions on Twitter in the month of April was the Eagles, which is intriguing as well.

The Buccaneers are going to continue to have opportunities to make a splash and get their brand out to the public. Signing Tom Brady isn’t just a move that will help the Bucs compete during the next couple of seasons, it’s an opportunity for the franchise to grow its brand and to take hold as a legitimate organization moving forward in the NFL.
