Cobb Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Out of those two probably Toronto. What other sports teams do they even have besides the Maple Leafs and Raptors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 lol @ saying Cleveland. Â Â I would have to go with most of the Bay Area teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 By worst, do you mean talent wise or support wise?Mainly success from sports teams, but those 2 you pointed out can be factors as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Well Toronto Maple Leafs have 13 Championships, Blue Jays have two, Argonauts have 15 and Raptors are pretty new. Add that with the most hardcore fans in Canada and I cannot say they are one of the worst sports cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Good points, I didnt factor in hockey as I forgot. Â Looks like Cleveland is the correct answer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 lol @ saying Cleveland.   I would have to go with most of the Bay Area teams.Raiders and 49ers are some of the best teams in the NFL if you are talking about all-time. The Giants aren't bad either in the MLB, same with the Sharks in the NHL.

Phightins Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Something tells me this thread will head in a bad direction....hmm wonder why. Clearly Boston though. I mean, undoubtedly a top 5 team in every sport (arguably top 2 in all but baseball). How terrible!! B)  But this is difficult. Pretty much every major sports city has at least one successful franchise so it is hard to find a city far worse than all the others.

fly3rs18 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 bets that ecn or someone says philadelphia?  cleveland might be the worst of cities with multiple teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universe Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 bets that ecn or someone says philadelphia?  cleveland might be the worst of cities with multiple teams.Nine championships for 206 years of their four major sports cities is not that great but Philly does have the fans.

kingfish Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Memphis, bar none.Memphis and San Antonio are kind of similar except that SA is successful. They dont really classify as "sports cities", cause they only have one team. And didnt the Memphis NCAA team do good recently? I dont follow NCAA lol.

Universe Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Cleveland is six championships in 217 years with three major teams. Of course my calculations are most likely wrong cause I'm a moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is current, Philly has three very competitive teams, and the Sixers are, well, the Sixers, but there are worse cities. It's been like this for about the past decade as well. In the 90s I would have agreed but we have turned the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Atlanta is probably the worst sports city out of cities that have all 4 sports. Their teams have generally always sucked except for the Braves who had that huge reign of dominance in the 90's. Cleveland is pretty bad as well, but at least the fans give the team support which isn't always the case with the Atlanta teams. I give the Cleveland fans props for staying rowdy though.  And the Bay Area team's suck too. Raiders and 49ers are both garbage right now as well as the A's. The Warriors arn't making the playoffs and it doesn't look like the Giants will either. The Sharks are the biggest chokers in the NHL so they have to be in it too. Seattle is pretty bad too. Their basketball team moved and the Seahawks/Mariners arn't exactly powerhouses right now either. Just seems like a depressing area.

EastCoastNiner Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'm really surprised that nobody has mentioned Miami or Tampa Bay........  Also, Phoenix has had [expletive] teams as a whole lately, excluding the Arizona Cardinals one appearance in the Super Bowl.

The Marlins are always competitive, but the fact that the team needs to have a firesale once every 5 years just for the sole fact that fans do not show up to the games brings their rating down. Also, as with most southern cities, hockey does not go well in South Florida. The Panthers have struggled too. Honestly I do not remember what Heat games were like before the championship, but I can't imagine that fans would have shown up if not for Wade/Shaq. So, I guess they have the Dolphins but not much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great iBoldin Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Let's look at the cities with teams in all four professional sports: - Atlanta- Boston- Chicago- Dallas- Denver- Detroit- Miami - Minny- NYC- Philly- Phoenix- Bay Area- Toronto- Washington Out of those, I'll take Atlanta or Miami.

Their still a mediocre team and only got to the 2nd round because there was only 3 legit teams in the Eastern Conference. Before last year they were the Clippers of the Eastern Conference and noone in Atlanta cared about them at all. It's going to take more than that to redeem themselves.  Not once in franchise history have the Falcons had two consecutive winning seasons although I like their chances this year their still pretty poor historically.  The Thrashers just suck(have they ever won a playoff game?) and the Braves arn't winning the NL East so you can get that idea out of your head. Unlike the Red Sox the Phillies will be winning their division this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
