Most miserable sports cities (Cleveland, Scott: gated, live in, beaches)

Five most miserable sports cities in America | General Sports

Being a big Cleveland sports fan and PSL owner, I can't argue with Cleveland being on list. I just question the #3 spot...I think Cleveland should be THE most miserable sports city on the list.

"It's hard to feel bad for people that live in San Diego with their perfect weather all year long, beaches, and world famous zoo."

Should have stopped there. San Diego belongs nowhere near this list.

Kansas City, particularly because of the Belcher thing, I'm OK with, just for this year at least.

Easily number 1. The heartbreak here the last 50 years is without peer.

I was just thinking, the Indians Francona is the longest tenured coach at the moment of the 3 Cleveland sports teams with 16 games under his belt.
The Cavs just finished with one of the worst records in the NBA and may consider hiring the coach that was replaced by Byron Scott. The optimism of the Tribe after alot of off season moves seems to have wained. Cleveland is a football town and many fans feel very positive with the coaching changes and free agency pickups but now we find out our new owner is being investigated by the Feds. Tell me I am just reading a fiction novel..

How is Cleveland not number one? We need to be given a permanent position at the top of this list. At least other cities' teams have ups and downs.

just 5 years ago, we came within one game of being in the World Series...true, the Browns have been in only one playoff game since 1994, and they lost that lobe game. But the Indians have been in many many playoff games in the same period of time, an d have won many of them. The sports solution may be to start ignoring the horrible Browns and Cavs, and take a look at baseball, which is at least mediocre here [even last years Indians were about
70 wins-90 losses.....that would translate into a Browns record of 7-9, which would make most Browns' fans ecstatic with hope]....and be thankful we have these pro teams...i try to enjoy the game, win or lose, and not get my ego into it....when the Browns win, it does not mean that "we" or "me wins...they are paid professional athletes. They and their owners care nothing for me or this city. So in return, they get no "loyalty" from me.

'The sports solution...'? Sounds like you might be young 'un. Any Cleveland fan that is in their 40s+ can not spin a rosy picture. We all remember the fumble, drive, shot, red right 88, Jose Mesa wild pitch too well.

When you think of it that way ...

Hahahaha! Good one there, about Terry Francona...then again, Terry also lived in Cleveland and was a Tribe fan from 1959 to 1964, when his dad Tito was about the best slugger we had, after Rocky was sent away....[Daddy Wags was pretty good, too, back then....]....Terry also played with the Indians in the late 1980s and then worked in the office a few years after that....the Cavs and Browns never had a former player of their team as coach, did they?

think about this for a minute... we have never won a super bowl , never even been there,(47yrs of waiting). we have never won an NBA champianship since the Cavs entered the league in 1970 (43yrs of waiting). our last word series champianship was 1948 (64yrs ago). thats 154 combined seasons of losing !!! to put it another way , any cleveland fan of the nfl,nba or mlb has to be 65yrs old or older to have lived during our last champianship in any of the big three sports !!! i think there is a comic strip in the newspaper about cleveland fans.,
