That's hard to figure, since there will be more than 72,000 players on its roster - though they're better known as fans. Whatever else you may say about the hordes of folks whose fannies fill stadium seats, sports fans are in a very real sense a team - one that is in some ways in better synchrony than the athletes on the field...
