I decided to use this map as baseball is often the sport assoicated with America. I think it shows America in a positive light as it backs up the idea that the country as a whole is very much a community as most states have one team implying that they would all group together to support them, but it also shows that they can be competitive as there are so many different teams so although they may be united within there states this may not always be the case for the country as a whole,
