Inb4 Montreal.

I was thinking just pro sports but if the college teams adds to your sport cities' prowess than so be it.

I'd have to say, Boston. Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, BC, UMASS, and the Revolution (LOL).

But I don't just want us all to praise Boston for all its glory, I mean that's fine, but try to pick other cities that are on the short list of Best Sports Cities.

Montreal? wtf?

The obvious answer is either NY or Boston. LA used to be up there with the dodgers, raiders and lakers, not so much anymore though.

Dallas is okay, too.

Neither NY or Boston are even good sports cities, let alone among the best.

LA still has to be up there cause of the college teams.

UCLA is one of the best in basketball and USC is one of the best in football.

Denver, assholes.

Avalanche, Broncos, Nuggets, Rapids(lolz), Crush, Mammoth, Outlaws, the Pioneer Hockey and LaX teams, all with consistant and large fanbases (hell, we even fully sell out our NLL team games)...

All of them have pretty good histories as well to fall back on. Except the Nuggets, of course. They just suck.

we might not win much (if at all anymore) but Philadelphia has the most passionate fans (Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, Sixers) and other sports (Kixx, Wings, Soul, the new MLS team). ALSO - the biggest college basketball rivalries in the fucking country. With Temple, St. Joe's, Penn, Nova, and La Salle (Big 5, 3 made the tourny this year), those games get crazy. Bob Ryan (bostonfag) even said his most memorial sports moment was a Penn-St. Joe's game at the Palestra.

What? How can you say that with any trace of honesty?

And to those who say Boston has a lot of bandwagfags, well as a Bostonfag let me tell you something faggot: you're very right.

This does not, however, affect the reality that Boston has some of the most dedicated fans of all time. Fans that rooted for the Pats when they lost 14 games and never stopped being a Pats fan. There are so many, so very many Red Sox fans (especially over 50) who sat through several decades of Red Sox sucking and their support never waivered. There are celtic fans who stuck around after the original big three and only now do they have a good team.

Just because of the high level of recent success doesn't mean there haven't always been a lot of true fans. Shit, look at the Bruins, there are at least 20,000 true Bruin fans, and they fucking suck. ;)

I have to show Chicago some support here.We have been in the finals for all the four real sports in the past 15 or so years. The Bulls won a ton of titles and the Sox just got one. The Bears even made it to the Super Bowl.

And we support our teams even when they are not so good.

White Sox don't count. Cubs are the only baseball team worth paying attention to in Chicago.

No, I'm not a Cubs fan.

Fuck you. Die in a fire. The Faggot cubs are the team for people that don't actually like baseball. You can go up to 70% of people with cubs shit on and ask them who the pitchers in the rotation are, or what the top 5 of the lineup is and they will not know. The majority do not know a fastball from a slider.

I know that. I'm a red Sox fan. You think I enjoy Seeing someone wearing a Boston hat, and when I start to talk to them about the team, they don't know shit? Fuckers don't even know what I'm walking about when I compare Ortiz to Ted Williams or Jim Rice. Fucking Christ, I was born in '88 and I know more about baseball that most "real" Sox fans.

About the Cubs though, I'm not necessarily against the White Sox, But the Cubs haven't won in 100 fucking years. You have to root for them at least a little bit.

Pardon me gentlemen but aren't we forgetting Portland, Oregon?

The beautiful/crowded city of Portland has a subpar Niggers Basketball Association team as well as a subpar minor league baseball team!

Boston is arrogant as shit when they are winning, and pissy as piss when they lose.

Hard to say between Philly and Chicago. Chicago used to be so good, before Wirtz drove the hawks into the ground.

Shut the fuck up. Every city always has fans that have been diehard fans, I'm a Bengals fan and have been for 20+ years. When they FINALLY win a championship, I'll just be another bandwagon fan as far as anyone else is concerned. Boston sucks dick as a city. New York sucks dick as a city. You can't fail at being a city worth living in and be a good sports city.
