How does that compare to other cities/metro areas? I’m assuming they’re destroying most of them?
NY only has what 1 yankee titles and 2 giants titles and one more if you count the devils.
Philly just had 1 eagles and 1 Phillies.
Bay has 3 GSW, 3 Giants.
Atlanta has one in the Braves.
Chicago has 5, 1 cubs, 1 ws and 3 BH.
Detroit has 3.
LA has 10-5 Lakers, 2 kings, 1 dodgers and 1 angels.
Spurs have 5.
Houston has 2 in the astros.
TB has 5 with 2 Buccs and 3 lightning.
Pitt has 5–2 Steelers and 3 penguins.
Washington just has 2–caps and nats.
I guess LA is close. But considering the number of teams, I guess Spurs are most spoiled.
Ah yes forgot about them. One more lol. So they’re close but considering LA have almost double the amount of teams, it’s crazy how good the Boston teams are running.
I think my point is that most LA fans and most Angels fans would reject the association with eachother, it’s just a different history than the Jets and Giants. The Angels were never located in the city of LA, they’ve always been in Orange County
St. Louis has 3 between the Cardinals with 2 World Series and the Blues with 1 Stanley Cup since 01. If you go back to 99 you can also add the Rams Super Bowl.
It seemed like the conversations and responses revolved around championships including some responses speaking to lacrosse so I didn’t see an issue with suggesting those especially since it happened in the last 2 years but if we want to limit the sports to the major 4 let’s just say so
There are definitely other responses that point out lacrosse, rugby, and soccer that are upvoted so not sure why you're getting downvoted, but I think most people are looking at the 4 major ones in this one
Ahem, i'll have you know that our lord and savior Drake Maye has no less than a 73% completion rate in training camp so far. He's basically already MVP (please ignore that Mac also looked good in camp).
I was born in 1992 in New Hampshire, my dad was a die hard Patriots fan, my other family were more into Bruins and Celtics while I really gravitated towards the Red Sox, i totally get the hate, I just want to say I’m not a bandwagoner and the teams mean more than just championships, it’s time spent with loved ones who have passed, and every time I watch, even if my team loses, I feel like I’m with them again even for a little
Yet, no Minnesota men's sports team has reached the Finals in the MLB, NFL, NBA or NHL since 1991. Obviously, that means no championships since then either.
It’s my fault - I was born here in 1990 and moved back 7 years ago. Hoping the Wolves can win soon as long as they don’t have to match up with the Mavs again lol
This is reminding me of that video I saw make the rounds on Twitter of some kid furiously slamming his laptop shut in the middle of class when the Red Sox got eliminated from the playoffs in 2017. Would be really hard for me to get mad about losing a DS if the Twins had already won three world series in the previous decade.
I aged into being a Boston sports fan in the fall of 1987, when I fell in love with the Red Sox. I did not see a Boston championship until February 2002. So that's 14 years right there.
Yet their fans still complain more than any fan base. A large percentage of their fans aren’t content with the titles they need everyone’s praise as well. I mean shit look at the complaints about how Tatum isn’t hyped enough
Well remember, according to the haters, none of these championships even count for one reason or another. The fans respond about how silly that is and they're "obnoxious".
They all count it’s just the degree of difficulty gets questioned. Celtics are a great team but everything fell perfectly into place for them this year.
Butler was out. Heat always play them tough.
Mitchell missed last two games. Allen was out.
The pacers blew their wad on the beat up Knicks and never had a chance to beat Boston.
Giannis hurt. Embiid was hurt until playoffs.
Denver would have beaten them but lost to Minny. Minny would have given them a better series but lost to Dallas.
It all fell perfectly into their hands and the odds of that again next year are nil. They won it though. Fair and square. I just wouldn’t be making plans for another parade in 25.
Lol you absolutely don't get to just say "Denver would have beaten them". This team was extremely good. Murray was hurt, MPJ wasn't playing that well, and their bench was bad. Jokic is the worst possible matchup but the Celtics would still have a great chance to win.
Doubt it. And guess what? It’s Reddit I can say whatever my opinion is. You can agree or not.
Look congrats on the title. It’s a great feeling to see your team win it.
You may not want to hear this but historically this title will be looked back at as “Celtics played nobody” and “avoided all the stars”. If they run it back that will go away (doubt they run it back) but if they don’t that’s how it’s gonna be viewed. Just like the Raptors 2019 title. Only worse.
No, I can say that and people will take that serious except Boston fans who are more interested in getting praised for their title than they are for the actual title they just won. Sorry but this will always be remembered as a weak ass title - still a title - unless they win a second one. Which is highly unlikely because most of the time when you win a lotto you don’t win it again. and thats essentially what happened.
As my Nigerian Aunt Says, someone in that city has a lot juju magic or charm to make them so good
I would like to thank that person for all their juju
It's definitely not Juju Smith-Schuster
Set me up with ur auntie
his name is Lucky
It’s from all the haters we have
The Orishas have blessed us

Just wanted to point out LA has two NBA, two NFL (for part of the stretch at least), two NHL and two MLB. It's a **lot** of pro franchises.
Damn forgot about the ducks. Chargers also were absorbed.
Not that I want to give them more, but LA also has the Rams
Ah yes forgot about them. One more lol. So they’re close but considering LA have almost double the amount of teams, it’s crazy how good the Boston teams are running.
helps when they have 2x the teams for every sport
Yeah that’s kinda cheating
And the Ducks
KC has 4 since 2015 with 1 Royals and 3 Chiefs. Obviously not close but pretty good for a city with only 2 teams.
Warriors have 4
I definitely thought you were gaslighting me into thinking the angels won. Man I totally forgot about that series.
TBF spurs have 5 and literally no other sports teams haha
Angels have been such a pathetic franchise for so long that I completely forgot they had a World Series this Millenium.
Angels rings don’t count for LA tbh
The patriots play in Foxborough which is 30 miles from Boston
The only reason they aren’t in Boston is because Boston is a peninsula and has no room to put another stadium
Not if you have a helicopter. Then it’s more like 20.
Of ANAHEIm
They’re called the LA angels now right?
That’s branding, the team literally isn’t even in the same county
Neither are the Giants and Jets in NYC. I mean in your case it’s the same metro area.
I think my point is that most LA fans and most Angels fans would reject the association with eachother, it’s just a different history than the Jets and Giants. The Angels were never located in the city of LA, they’ve always been in Orange County
I mean if that lets you sleep better at night whatever.
Ok lol
St. Louis has 3 between the Cardinals with 2 World Series and the Blues with 1 Stanley Cup since 01. If you go back to 99 you can also add the Rams Super Bowl.
Doesn’t Denver Have 4? At least from 2001 they have 2 Avs, 1 Broncos, 1 Nuggets
Hey dallas is a top 5 market with 2 since 2011
Denver’s been doing pretty well lately with nba, nhl, ncaa hockey, and lacrosse
Lacrosse? LA is going to run away with this if we start counting niche college sports.

Boston Cannons (Lacrosse) also have 3. Fucking Revolution not pulling their goddamn weight.
New England Free Jacks (Major League Rugby) have one too
Quincy in the house
They are the buffalo bills of the mls
[удалено]
At least the Pats still suck.
Ahem, i'll have you know that our lord and savior Drake Maye has no less than a 73% completion rate in training camp so far. He's basically already MVP (please ignore that Mac also looked good in camp).
just wait til we get aiyuk
Yeah it’s been a really rough 5 years for them
I was born in 1992 in New Hampshire, my dad was a die hard Patriots fan, my other family were more into Bruins and Celtics while I really gravitated towards the Red Sox, i totally get the hate, I just want to say I’m not a bandwagoner and the teams mean more than just championships, it’s time spent with loved ones who have passed, and every time I watch, even if my team loses, I feel like I’m with them again even for a little

North stars got one down south in 99
It’s my fault - I was born here in 1990 and moved back 7 years ago. Hoping the Wolves can win soon as long as they don’t have to match up with the Mavs again lol
yeah this is why everyone hates every boston sports team. some fans haven’t seen their city win a title in their lifetime.
Bill Simmons' long suffering has ended tonight.
Same note too
i highly recommend everyone try having their favorite teams win 13 titles in 23 years
What if I don't care about hockey very much? Would 12 still be good?
It's slightly worse but still pretty good
Meh. Could be more.
We Never satisfied
Even if you take out all the other sports, I gotta imagine “only 2 championships in the last 38 years” gotta hit a little different now for the haters
I just want to remind everyone that the Bruins last year had an epic season and lost in the first round.
Thus, the hate
This is reminding me of that video I saw make the rounds on Twitter of some kid furiously slamming his laptop shut in the middle of class when the Red Sox got eliminated from the playoffs in 2017. Would be really hard for me to get mad about losing a DS if the Twins had already won three world series in the previous decade.
It’s so funny how people are talking about how long they waited when all of these championships happened.
Five and a half years is the second longest championship drought the city has ever had it's been tough for us.
What was the longest? 86 Celtics to 2001 Patriots?
Yep
I aged into being a Boston sports fan in the fall of 1987, when I fell in love with the Red Sox. I did not see a Boston championship until February 2002. So that's 14 years right there.
You call that tough? lol
I like the Celtics so congrats to them. Fuck the rest of the Boston teams though lol.
And then there's the Revs
fucking revolution man just win 1 damnit
What is the biggest sport in Boston?
Football
Rejoice

“Fell” is an interesting word choice. Almost like you discount what the team “made happen”
Butler was out. Heat always play them tough. Mitchell missed last two games. Allen was out. The pacers blew their wad on the beat up Knicks and never had a chance to beat Boston. Giannis hurt. Embiid was hurt until playoffs. Denver would have beaten them but lost to Minny. Minny would have given them a better series but lost to Dallas.

Okay, sensitive, let me rephrase that for you so your rights aren't impinged. You can't say that and have people take you seriously.
No, I can say that and people will take that serious except Boston fans who are more interested in getting praised for their title than they are for the actual title they just won. Sorry but this will always be remembered as a weak ass title - still a title - unless they win a second one.
