I don't think some of the people reading this nor posting understand what the term 'Sports Bluebloods' mean. Let me explain, in non sports term it refers to those who come from privilege...nobles, aristocrats. In sports that would equate to not only those teams whose been there from the beginning ,but those who organisations are known for winning, being well managed and the personification of their league. Teams are weighted on history while recent championships shouldn't be so highly regarded. I honestly believe there are 2 tiers of this. I'll break it down.

MLB

Tier 1
N.Y. Yankees
Boston Red Sox
N.Y./ L.A. Dodgers

Tier 2
Chicago Cubs
N.Y. /S.F. Giants
St. Louis Cardinals


NFL

Tier 1
Chicago Bears
Dallas Cowboys
Pittsburgh Steelers
Green Bay Packers

Tier 2
S.F. 49ers
Cleveland Browns/ Baltimore Ravens
^(would be tier 1 if they stayed)^
New England Patriots

I wanna put more weight on the ore super bowl era and add the Giants...but can't.


​

This is the best list hands you are the only person who understand what blueblood mean ................... At people not putting the Chicago Bears as a blueblood franchise they have the 3rd most nfl wins,the most players in the hall of fame and 9 nfl championship y’all do know the nfl played championship games before the merger in 1970

the lack of “cardinals” responses shows the hate is real

Yeah these guys don’t even know what blue blood means... and low key I was debating about New England although I think over the past decade or so they’ve earned BB status; but NE lost 2-3 Super Bowls in 30 years before Beli and the rest of that time was largely Ls... I dunno


All in all I think Tier 2 is fair ...

Stl. Cardinals are most def a blue blood of mlb. I'll say they're probably the standard of the National League

Says we dont know and adds 76ers


3 titles and when they were bad nobody gave a damn about them...

 

[jfkennedy]

the lack of “cardinals” responses shows the hate is real

any squad not named yankees can get in line

Imagine leaving off the team with the second most World Series

Can't take any of those opinions serious.

 

[Shadow King]

I don't know about the Redskins and Broncos being blue bloods.

Some clowns tried to tell me Nova wasn’t blue blood

With this 3rd chip, is Villanova now unquestionably a Blue Blood?

 

[MJ Truth]

Neither are the Knicks or Pistons

Neither are the Bulls or Spurs if you wanna be really real about it. It’s basically just the Lakers and Celtics.
