The only reason to post an item about the Rams in this thread would be to claim the city in which they are located is the worst sports city. By doing so, you are already implying a comparison between the Rams and the team located in the original post's city, the Chiefs. This may not be what you meant to say, but it is how I took it. All is well.

Actually, I posted that because it seems forumers have some unspoken obligation to bash KC any chance they get, when in fact, very few people on c-d can even attest to the fact they've been to KC.

Clearly, I would assume you've been to KC, but I was just pointing out St. Louis has had better sports days as well.

Saint Louis loves sports, but it essentially a baseball town.

I guess my question is not wost fans, but the worst city to be a sports fan of. If that makes sence. I don't think KC has the worst fans. I would call them average. The problem is trying to be a fan of KC sports teams.

Like I mentioned before, it's easy to be a sports fan in Denver, I would call that one of the best cities for fans.

Your focus is always to bring The Bay down and to boost Chicago, but your hatred is fascinating. Your life must be a horrendous thing to wake up to in the morning with all the bitterness you display on here, along with your inexplicable distaste and hatred for the SF Bay Area (and often other parts of CA) that you just can't seem to contain. I can't even take offense to what you say; you just cause me to feel pity for you.

The one thing that makes you stand out from all the other SF-bashers though is that you do seem to have a better sense of the reality out here than most of them. Even if you do only choose to view it from a negative perspective, at least you do appear to have some knowledge and experience.

It's not like the Bears and Cubs are much better.

The last thread I was just browsing was the one with 5 city options for 2 college grads to move to and all I saw was you on there ripping Silicon Valley rather than offering any type of positive opinion. So yes, I did predict it, and I find it even funnier that you're too shook to even respond here since you've normally got so much to say lol.

Really thats odd because MY first sentence in that thread, verbatum is this :
Your degree, need for good outdoor life, and desire to be by down to earth people says silicon valley, every other requirement does not.
That seems to be right on topic with that thread, what that has to do with this one, I don't know, but once again you fail to stay on topic.

As you wish. I think Chicago has to be one of the worst cities for sports. The Bears are pathetic even after they've finally landed their first franchise QB since McMahon (lol) and the Bulls are nothing impressive nowadays. But worst of all Chicago has the Cubs which kind of makes it the worst city by itself. Happy now??
I love how you make fun of the cubs and the bears, which have better attendance rates than either one of their multiple bay area counter parts (the bay area has two football and baseball teams by the way). Real smart, rip on teams that sell more tickets when they are loosing than when your teams win. Classic california.

How about you call us when the raiders can actually acheive not having a homegame blacked out, or when the A's sell out one home game in which the Yankees or Boston do not come to town.

Bulls made the play offs last year(4 times this decade) by the way, how about the warriors?

And how about the Sharks(1st place regular season), lost to the anaheim mighty ducks(8th place) in the first round...WOW.

Can't argue with that...

America's Best Sports City St Louis.

Ahhh, the good old days...

Anyway, to answer the thread question: I think it's Oakland
NFL: Raiders- Have not won more than 5 games in a season since 2002
NBA: Golden State Warriors- Reached playoffs once (2007-2008) in last 15 years
MLB: Athletics- Average record of 75-87 in past three seasons

And this post help sums up my point. Raiders can't win a game. A's cant sell tickets, and the warriors are just a joke.
