Sports Suffering Cities (updated thru '19 Washington Nationals)

QB Eagles · May 28, 2009, 08:17:24 PM

Each style of drought is bad in their own way. All Portland has is the Blazers and look how much they have cockteased the city after winning everything in their first playoff season. Now even Greg Oden sucks.

Cleveland, Buffalo, and Seattle are all completely miserable sports cities, and their fans all have the same kind of crushed, defeated spirit as Philly fans had. [The difference is Philly is a huge 4-team city that is a much bigger sports town than any of those places.] Obviously as long as Cleveland has LeBron though, they are liable to break their streak any year. With Buffalo and Seattle there is no end in sight, really. Seattle lost their only team that ever won anything.

Minneapolis, Atlanta, Dallas, and Washington are all 4-team cities. Here's to hoping that Dallas or Washington break through 47.

cleveland = beyond the worst

hockey is barely a big sport and theyre not missing anything. plus their football team moved to freaking baltimore.

my point is that none have been four team cities for nearly as long as the 25 year philly drought...meaning their make the playoffs numbers cant really be compared to phillys since philly could increse theirs more easily

having lived there for a few years, i can tell you without a doubt that seattle fans do not have the same kind of crushed and defeated spirit that philly fans had prior to the WS last year. and it's not that seattle fans aren't supported of their teams. but sports do not rank as high on the priority list for people living in that part of the country. seattle sports fans don't live and die with their teams. for them, win or lose, their lives go on virtually unaffected. and if the mariners and seahawks packed up today and moved, everyone up there (sans the few diehards) would be over it in a couple of weeks and would go back to starbucks and drink crapacinnos while blogging about how they cry every time they see a tree get cut down or how they can't wait to get a new body piercing or how excited they are to go shopping for a new pair of berkenstocks.

yeah seattle is a joke and buffalo has two teams....in no way can either be compared to philly

Buffalo is a good sports town enev though they only have 2 teams...one of which is hockey and barely even counts. But bills fan are just as tortured as eagles fans. Maybe even more since the bills were knocking on the door 4 years in a row.

Honolulu is a perfect 1000. Someone always wins the Pro Bowl!

With that said I hope Miami keeps that pathetic game. Listening to adults starting "NFC" & "AFC" chants has lead me to the top of Aloha Stadium to find a nice, high place to jump many a time.

They announced months ago that the 2011 and 2012 Pro Bowls are going to be in Hawaii.

If it does, I'm sure the NHL will be bumped.

QB Eagles · October 18, 2009, 04:46:33 PM

Bit premature for that, and besides, the Giants and taterskins lost.
