Which Pro Sports Team has the LEAST fans?

13
Vote

by user Manny Stiles

Man, it's slow today in here!

Everyone knows a Yankees fan. You see Red Sox personalized license plates in every state. You couldn't walk outside in February without seeing a Steelers Terrible Towel waving in your face. There's not a sporting goods store without a Lakers jersey (even in Alaska).

We ALL know who the MOST popular teams are. No matter where you live there are fans of the Cowboys, Raiders, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Wings, Broncos, Packers, Bulls, etc...

Every year Chunky Soup has a "Cans for Charity" voting contest and millions of votes are recorded. Whether they are legitimate or not, the Arizona Cardinals ALWAYS come in last (well behing the Jaguars last year). For a metropolitan area of around 5 million people, that's pathetic! Maybe the numbers will change soon with the new stadium...

That doesn't change the fact that the Grizzlies, Jazz, Devil Rays, Raptors, Ducks, Wild and Bobcats don't exactly have an omnipresence outside of their respective communities (If they even have a presence there).

I know all the reasons why this happens, that's not my question.

My question is: Who do you think are the least popular pro sports franchises?

Who are the last three franchises you think of?

Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Feetball... whatever, PRO SPORTS only!

You may vote for up to THREE:

You should just check all the fan box templates and see which one has the least links.

The Ecks are popular in Edmonton, but the rest of Canada hates them. The team was popular at one time, but that has deminished. I only know one Eskimos fan in the US.

Manny, she only likes the team because of their play last year and to give her someone to root for against my Stampeders or her boyfriend's Argos.

All the teams have SOME fans... which have the least everywhere else??? (I've personally NEVER seen someone with a Golden State license plate holder or Adonal Foyle jersey if you know what I mean...) I think there are more Clippers fans than you think... All the anti-Lakers people root for the Clippers. Frankie Munez, Billy Crystal - Clippers fans. Sports Guy has Clippers season tix. If you can name a hardcore fan of the team, they shouldn't be on this list.

MLS, I live within 15 miles of a stadium (I think), but yet have no idea where it is. Or semi-pro unpaid football. No one goes to those games, not even the players families.

every 5 years... maybe they'll get their own stadium like a REAL baseball team, most likely in Vegas or Portland, I'm guessing!

What about these teams they keep giving second and third lives to or their cities? Teams Like Washington Nationals (3) or Ottawa of the CFL (2) KC also of baseball (2). Baltimore, Clevland, St Louis of the NFL. Don't even get me started on the NHL. I know in a lot of cases it's the owners falut but come on, Washington? Toronto almost did't get a team because Gerry Ford insisted that there be baseball in Washington. This just a few years after their second team fled to Texas, the other of course to the Twin Cities in 61. Everyone should just go back to where they came from originally and start over. I hate Washington and you should too!
