The formula helps determine whether consumers have positive, negative or neutral reactions to brands in their online messages.

Actually, the top 5 makes some sense, after this quote.  I'd imagine the logo of the Indians turns off a lot people and they have gone through a down cycle so do not have the home support.  The relative rank of the Red Sox (2) and NYY (5) probably reflects that anyone who is a Yankee fan hates the Red Sox, and NY > Boston.  Add that to the sentiment many people feel about the force feeding, I'm sure they tick off a lot of fans of other teams.  Cinci?  Three words - Marge Schott Memories.  Houston?  Archetype of Texas.  And the Washington team?  Incompetence in basebal in a muni reviled for other reasons.  You betcha.
