Let's start out with the Las Vegas Raiders. While they are arguably the biggest name in town, they don’t have the record to show for it. A post from August 24 gained 83 likes, three comments, and nine shares in an hour.
A post from the previous day has over 150 likes, 42 comments, and 10 shares. This is in the preseason, which is probably why these numbers are so tepid.

Now we move on to The Las Vegas Golden Knights, who are now in the offseason after winning The Stanley Cup Title. A post they made on August 23rd, has over 66 likes, 4 comments, and five shares. It’s worth mentioning that it is a video of a player stopping to play hockey with a group of kids. One weird thing to note is that they are running close to the same numbers as The Raiders.
As we venture back further on The Las Vegas Golden Knights Facebook page, we see a post on August 23rd that pretty much looks like a press release. This one features The Stanley Cup tour making a stop in Sioux Valley Dakota. The pictures have 8.4 thousand likes, 213 comments, and 2.2 thousand shares. It was posted one day ago (August 23, 2023) It's hard to count this post, however, due to it being a press release.

Let's switch to the Las Vegas Aces, a team hunting for their second championship. Looking at a post from an hour ago on August 24, 2023, they have a video of Kelsey Plum and her teammates celebrating her birthday. Ready for the numbers?
Despite women’s sports traditionally getting less coverage than men, the Aces' post already has 339 likes, 11 comments, and 19 shares. The Aces seem to have more active fans than the Raiders right now.
Peering a little bitter further back, we see a post reporting that the Aces have signed Alania Coates to a rest-of-the-year contract. This post, from August 23, has over 1,800 likes, 144 comments, and 79 shares.

Finally, we take a look at Kyle Busch, our own homeboy. The two-time Cup Series champion Las Vegas native has a very active fanbase
One post, which features a joke about him asking his wife to allow him to add a few races to his schedule, has over 7,000 likes, 489 comments, and 81 shares. The post was published on August 22, and is only one example of his massive social media reach.
4. The Las Vegas Raiders are struggling to drum up excitement
