wsbaseball Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Do you think sports teams legitimize cities? In other words, do you think of cities with professional sports teams as the “major” cities of this country, while those without teams as something less?

zirc Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 not really...LA doesn't have a football team...there's no way i would consider tampa bay or indianapolis 'major'...it's just that most big cities have sports teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Indianapolis has a million people in it. I'd have to call that "major". You don't have to be in a major market in the NFL. With all the shared revenue, you'll never lose money in a season. It's only one day a week, so it you don't need 60,000 a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Uhh.... Las Vegas anyone? They have no major sports team(Las Vegas 51's, the Dodgers AAA team, but I think that's it...maybe AFL or an XFL team when that was in for the one year), and that is the city that never sleeps. I assume they have no sports team due to the fact that there would be some major betting action afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Unless you count the Wolves... I would bet the Fire beat the Wolves there. The Fire are always good.

Demarcus Beasley I went to the same junior high as Lindsey Durlocher...he is ranked second for Americans at 55 kilos in Greco...has a shot at the Olympics. I went to the same high school as Rob Either...he was an Olympian at the 1996 Olympics. Wrestling rocks! Other notable high schoolers...Ted Nuggent, Jarret Payton, Bret Basenez (NWestern QB), Jonaton Spector (Manchester United), and this awesome kid who wrestles at Michigan State ( ).

The Fire are always good and have won at least one MLS Cup and I know they were in the championship game last year. I don't follow soccer though. I forgot about the Wolves, the real hockey team in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
