Cleveland's support for its teams--win or lose--is anything but miserable

Ever see the Indians crowds?

Atlanta has 2 failed NHL franchises.

Has Cleveland chased any frachises out of town?

Packers are the unofficial NFL team for Milwaukee which alone would more than disqualify them. You can technically say it's not Milwaukee, but since everyone in Milwaukee(and the rest of the state) roots for the Packers in the NFL I would still count it


That's a good point, I was going through teams in my head and the Brewers and Bucks have been pretty miserable, but you are right that the Packers are pretty much Milwaukee's team and they have been hugely successful.

Another one I don't think anyone has mentioned is Charlotte. Their teams are not as old as other franchises, but the Hornets were formed in 1988 and the Panthers in the mid 1990's and no championships at all for either team.

Very good point but Cleveland has Jim Brown and Lebron which gives them the edge.

Can you think of another Atlanta athlete to pair with Aaron?

Atlanta has 2 failed NHL franchises because the Flames' owner was broke due to a real estate crash and the Thrashers' owners never even wanted the team in the first place and ran it into the ground
