Forbes: miserable sports cities

This list was just for towns with pro sports teams. Their rankings are based on playoff failures and championship droughts. They also consider things like teams leaving for another city. This is not a list of cities that have really bad teams (most do though), but these are cities that have suffered the most heartbreak.

I disagree. The Big Red Machine cancels all the bad out. The Reds Rock!!!!

I thought Cleveland would been higher up.

this list was made up more by statistics, they don't take how close the score was and the emotion from the loss. if they did, cleveland and buffalo would be a lot higher

It does not take into account the titles that were won either. They point out the four World Series losses, but not the five they won??? I also think it is ridiculous that teams are considered failures for not winning a championship game instead of getting their rightful accolades for getting there. People look at the Bills as a Joke for losing four Super Bowls in a row, but the fact that they made four super bowls in a row is an accomplishment that no other team in history has equaled, and that fact is pretty darn impressive!

No way Phoenix should be ranked that high...

Of course Cincinnati would be included in this list! :HitWall:
