Nope, sorry. I used to follow the Avs for a while, but then Patrick Roy retired.
I like all the teams a lot, and as just sports I like football and basketball better. But I was born and raised in Worcester County so the Sox are not sports they are religion, that shit runs in the blood.
Long Islanders consider themselves separate there's a lot of Islander fans that upset that they're moving to Brooklyn the next year.

Loooooooool. Someone doesn't watch hockey. Most people don't consider islanders an NYC team.
They will be now though!

I hate everybody and everything.
i didn't notice that at first. Had they not counted the Packers, Milwaukee would be top 5.

bro the cleveland curse is real, dont try and knock it
When I simply glanced at the list I immediately assumed that they grouped Green Bay with Milwaukee (despite the fact that Milwaukee is closer to Chicago than it is Green Bay)

Lakers were pulling a lot of dead weight, thank you MLS, NHL for picking up the slack.

Milwaukee by itself is definitely worth putting on that list.

Every curse is broken man. I just gotten keep believing.
If I stop believing in the Browns my family will disown me.

1997 was all Jose Mesa's fault.
I feel stupid asking this as a Wisconsin sports fan but how many professional sports teams does Milwaukee have? I'm only aware of the Bucks and Brewers.
Green Bay is so strong it's pulling Milwaukee's dead weight from over a hundred miles away

Thing is, a Cavs win in the Finals might not even move them at all, certainly not out of the top 5.

When will MLS crack into the "4 Major Sports" and make it the "5 Major Sports"?

I'd take a World Series win or a Super Bowl win over a Finals win.

...the redskins are one of the greatest franchises in NFL history what do they have like 4 superbowls? now the rest of your teams...yeah
They're a long way away. If anything, Liga MX is the fifth major North American Sports League.

Houston may be #11 but as a fan it feels way higher. All we have since the rockets in 1995 is the dynamo but no one cares about them. Texans are perpetual trash. At least the rockets got to the western conference finals and had a historic comeback on the clippers this year.

Hah, I thought about that but just get me out of #1 and I'll be much happier!

Atlanta falls short yet again.
We also keep losing NHL teams to central Canada...

I'm WAY more of a football fan so I hear ya but I love all our teams and we're certainly in no position to be picky!
That's it. We also have the Admirals for the AHL and the Wave for Major Arena Soccer.

Based on their own metrics, I don't see how San Diego isn't number 2.
Also Houston should be higher because Jordan was playing Baseball during the city's only championships.

Can't fault someone for going home.
(Though you can't tell that to some Miami fans.)
I actually halfway expected Atlanta's toughest loss to be the 48-21 spanking the Packers gave them in the 2011 playoffs in Atlanta when Atlanta was a #1 seed that went 7-1 at home. I just remember Atlanta fans being super high on the team that year, everyone was high on Matty Ice, people figured they'd walk through the playoffs, then Rodgers happened.

Two recent Super Bowls is enough to overshadow alllllllll the suckage in every other sport.New York City isn't up there with the worst? Aside from the Yankees and Giants, everyone here suuuuuuuuucks at winning titles. No NBA, no NHL, no MLS, no NCAA men's or women's titles, no WNBA, no nothing.
Being a Cleveland native...it's not wrong on this front.
And yeah, the '97 loss still hurts. As did the '95.
And we blew our chance in 2007, when we were up by three games over Boston. If we went to the World Series that year, we could have swept it.

C'mon, brah. Mexico don't count.
Far behind in revenue, sure, but is that the only factor? It's the only other major sports league in the U.S./Canada besides the "Big 4." There's really no other competition. It's closer to the "Big 4" than it is to whatever the hell would count as #6.

Also this. For almost every success in Houston sports there's always focus on some other team or person instead. When the rockets had that crazy 3-1 comeback over the clippers, guess what? Nobody was talking about the rockets. Just how the clippers choked. Only thing that they were saying is 'lol rockets gonna get swept next round. It gets maddening. No wonder houston sports fans have a persecution complex.
