I don't know why D.C. isn't on top of the list. Miserable teams all around....NFL, NBA, WNBA, and especially MLB. They think they "deserve" sports franchises but don't support them well and look at the results. Only the NHL team is worth much.

Some favorites of mine growing up as an M's fan:

Ad:

Your Seattle Mariners!  Come out and watch other teams excel at their sport!

Song [7th inning stretch]

...So it's root root root for the Mare - i - Ners
....if they don't win it's the same...

Well, if you were a falcon's fan during the Rankin Smith days, then you know three winning seasons
and three playoff appearances in a row is a wonderful thing.

Ridiculous. Atlanta is one of the best cities for sports. It's not a hockey city or nba city or even baseball. ATL is about football as it is overflowing with the most rabid fans in the country, SEC football fans.

All those sports cities have won a title.

Sacramento: 26 sports seasons ZERO titles (a probable title stolen by questionable refereeing in 2002)

Cleveland....NBA, NFL, MLB no title in 47 years. Not to mention their fans are terrible.

Sacramento doesn't even qualify as a sports town.

As a Seattle resident, sure, our teams have been in a bit of a rut of late... Our NBA team left... But we're on the upswing! We have procured private financing to build a sparkling new arena to poach the New Orleans Hornets or the Sacramento Kings AND an NHL team...

But even if our sports doldrums continue for a couple more years, we Seattle folks take solace in the fact that at the end of the day, well, we live in Seattle and not Buffalo or Cleveland...
