Boston Red Sox can't be Evil Empire, for they're the ones who named the Yankees it. Sox prez Larry Luccino actually pinned it on 'em.
The Phillies owners are the most evil of empires, crying "broke" when they're filthy, filthy rich. Ruly Carpenter=only exception in the entire wretched history of that franchise. Beyond evil, they are.
If you use the term "evil empire" strictly, as in a team that just totally dominates its sport, the Yankees are unparalleled.
If you use it loosely, as in a winning team that people typically love to hate, you'd have a lot more teams. Notre Dame football, Miami football, the LA Lakers, Duke and UNC basketball, the Dallas Cowboys, etc
There is really only one true Evil Empire. There's nothing tricky about my opinion. I'm talking about the obvious choice: By far the most championships of any team in American professional sports. True dynasties that dominated two entire decades--the '20's and the '50's--along with runs of several championships in the '30's, '70's, and '90's, so that every generation in the past 80-plus years has been subjected to the spectacle of this team feasting on the other clubs in its sport. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS BOUGHT! Club management through the generations that has run the operation with the cold efficiency of a Fortune 500 behemoth, and flaunted the club's success with putrid garishness, a gaudy display that plays to boorish fans who never seem to tire of their orgy of gloating about each new bought-and-paid-for championship.
Yes, there's only one true Evil Empire in American sports. The other teams people say they love to hate are really just temporarily-unpopular fiefdoms.
Frickin hilarious. Im with ya brother (Blackhawks fan here)! They are evil, but I think the Habs are more of an "empire" than the Wangs are.
