Did this fool seriously just bring up championships in a Yankees/Knicks relevance discussion... :heh:

Has to be trolling, nobody can seriously be that stupid...

no, i said you cant bring up titles from the 1950's as a barometer to argue interest level to kids born in the 1990s.. These social media kids dont give a shyt about Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neal, what makes u think they care about Mickey Mantle?

Chicago
1. Bears
2.Cubs
3. Bulls
4.White Sox
5. Blackhawks

Fixed

Neigh. Swap Cubs with Bulls and the list is accurate. Gotta remember while the Cubs are the more popular team, half the city reps another team. Everyone here supports Bulls/Bears.

As for Hawks we had that large period of darkness and only now is the popularity surging. :ld:

IDK about today but from the time I grew up till 2009 SE Michigan was:

1. WINGS
2. Pistons or tigers depending on performance
3. Lions
Its not really like that though. All those other teams had long periods of winning so they were the talk of the town, but unlike the rest of those teams the Lions move the needle even when they're at their lowest. It's the one team that the black folks from the city and all the folks in the suburbs get behind together, whether it's too celebrate them or shyt on them. Can't say that about the other teams, as there are a lot of of nikkas that don't really fukk with baseball or hockey, and the opposite for the NBA.

Breh, The Yankees have won titles in the 2000's.... and won one 5 years ago.

rooting for the Knicks for a kid born in the 90's has been nothing but embarrassment.


Most recognizable American Sports Team on the planet:hula:The New York Knicks


it's not exactly a hard choise.

I believe that on the east side of the state, but there's A LOT of alumni on the west side.

I'm curious to see how people would react if the Lions ever consistently win. There's so much apathy towards them that I wonder if it can be reversed.
Lions are # 1, they have always been talked about/in conversation heavy , not always in a good way though :russ:.

Pistons are dead last right now, that will change once they start winning again. They were on top during the all of the ship runs (bandwagon ass fans for the last run)

:patrice:
1 Lions
2a Tigers/2b Wings :manny: interchangeable depending on decade I claim the 80's so Tigers >>>> Wings
3 Pistons

List isn't my personal preference though.

I can't put the Lions at #1 because I don't think people are emotionally invested in them. Nobody expects them to do anything, which is the opposite of the Tigers and Wings. :yeshrug:

this is pretty undebatable at this point.

Miami
1. Whoever's Winning
:deadmanny: worst sport city in america
LOL I see the Writer got jokes.

I'm not disputing the least caring fan base part about Miami because trust me Ive lived there and I rarely showed up for sporting events either :manny:. I lived in Miami from the time i was 15 tip i was almost 30 and i went to like 2 or 3 Dolphins games. I went to a lot of Heat games but mostly because my sister worked at he arena and hooked me up with tickets all the time. I still rather watch on TV

However anyone who has ever spent more than 3 months there knows the town is all about
  1. Miami Hurricanes Football
  2. Miami Dolphins
  3. Florida State Football
  4. Miami Heat
  5. Florida Gators
  6. Miami Marlins
  7. Florida Gators
You can dispute and rearrange 5-7 but the top 4 is pretty much set in stone. Let the Hurricanes have a good season and watch. Girls are more friendly. Bosses let employees go home early more often. Wives give their husbands more p*ssy. Even the crime rate goes down.The whole town is lit up.
But i personally never gave a single fukk about college sports so fukk it. I'm all about Heat and Dolphins. I don't even watch the NFL anymore once the Dolphins are out of the playoffs. Whish is often :sad:
I won't front, I haven't watched the last 3 Superbowls
