There’s nothing better than when a stereotype is totally accurate. Some stereotypes can just be generalizations that really aren’t that true for a certain group of people, but then you have other stereotypes that just nail it. Here we might have the crown jewel of that.
People in Alabama LOVE Walmart. Even more specific, Alabama football fans especially love Walmart. IT’s just part of the culture. So when Walmart released these numbers of college football merch sales by school, I felt all warm and fuzzy inside when Bama topped the list. It just let’s all of us know that we haven’t been recklessly slinging these jokes on the internet all this time.
Here’s the list via AL.com:

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Tennessee
4. Arkansas
5. Georgia
6. Nebraska
7. West Virginia
8. Kentucky
9. Iowa
10. Oklahoma

Also, no surprise that you find six SEC schools in the top ten because just below the Bama-Walmart stereotype is the SEC fan-Walmart stereotype which is pretty much just as true.

Just for fun, let’s go down the rabbit hole of old Bammer-Walmart stories
