Boston is notoriously racist, so most professional athletes may not love it there.

Checks out actually

Memphis isn’t much worse than New Orleans.

I’d put Salt Lake City and Sacramento the list.

Salt Lake City


That's one of the top choices for a good bit of athletes because of the skiing and summer outdoor activities.

So weird considering they’re FedEx hub.



2 entirely different airports

The Fed Ex hub is the "old" pax airport that was replaced by the current one in the 70's.

Most pro basketball players are black so the culture is ideal IMO.

LOL no. It's widely regarded as the most racist city/venue in the NBA. Most players hate going there.

Pro athletes are millionaires, living in the nicest parts of whatever cities they are in. Thread is dumb.

I agree but there still can be a “worst” right? It just may be for different reasons than being considered by OP.

Nice little town but as a multi-millionaire you'd be bored out of your damn mind.


Weather sucks but you're the BMOC if you play for the Packers.

Who considers it the most racist and what has happened to make that?

What’s the problem with Milwaukee and Cincinnati? Have you ever even been to these places?

Cincinnati is not a bad city

I was there a month or so ago for the first time and was pretty surprised

Will Smith basically got himself killed


That was not a "new orleans is Dangerous" death.

That was a "drunk road rage get yo arse shot" death

Gotta think buffalo is up there. Only 250k in the city. 1 million in the metro. Cold, dying city that is constantly in the running for losing one of its teams to Toronto

Green Bay would suck for some because of size, but for some it may be the favorite if they want a smaller spot and don’t like cities. Buffalo is just big enough to not hold that charm but not big enough to do anything for athletes wanting the glam of a big market and city

I’d imagine a black athlete would have a great time in Memphis.
