I'm from based New York but this argument is so dumb. and The Niners are easily in the top 3 of historical NFL Franchises

Warriors literally have the golden gate bridge on their jerseys... and arent they moving to San Francisco next year?
You are probably just a butt hurt Mexican from LA. DESU I would choose to live with faggots then live in LA
>>63690230
I hate Shitcongo too but
>LA above anyone
>>63690313
yeah I really think LA is overrated as a sports city. They have double the teams, and dont really have alot of championships.
>No NFL
>>63690311
So Oakland is SF now?
Ok Dallas is part of LA. It's just as arbitrary
>>63690333
>>63690333
Yeah Oakland has more in common with LA than sf
The Raiders are pretty much an LA team now
>>63690230
Chicago is the only city where all teams play within the city limits. Also the only city that keeps its fans during droughts (except NFL for NY, but see above)
It's pretty sad when hellholes like Cleveland and Philly make you look like a bitch. Suck my celery salt-seasoned cock.
>>63690373
Fuck you mexcrement raiders are oaktown
>>63690264
It's the same combined statistical area. Everyone considers the Bay Area to be a single sports media market.
Basically you're a total fucking moron.
>>63690230
Lakers 16
Bay Area 16
Discuss
>>63690311
The Warriors' normal jersey has the eastern span of the Bay Bridge.
>>63690479
There is a nearly 0% chance the Raiders will be in Oakland in the medium to long term.
>>63690500
Bay Area has 29 actually
>>63690520
No one in the real world considers the Raiders a Bay Area team
They're coming home next year
>>63690490
>>63690490
Ask someone from Oakland where they're from
Ask someone from Santa Clara where they're from
>>63690500
>no nfl team
>despite having two sports teams in the nhl, mlb, and nba..
The barrio of Los Angeles does not have as many titles as Boston
>>63690529
I count 19 if you include the MLS.
Is OP retarded or something? How the fuck is shit york a better sports city than Boston?
>>63690539
If you ask them if they are from the Bay Area, they both say yes you ignorant nigger.
Try not talking about things you have no knowledge of.
>>63690538
You can have them. I want the Raiders to get the fuck out of the Bay Area.
>>63690551
>Warriors 4
>Niners 5
>Raiders 3

>>63690556
So that's a sign that LA > Gay area.
Can't even keep your sports teams. Pathetic.
Enjoy the Raiders, Rams and Chargers running train on the Whiners
>>63690555
Single-handedly because of the Yankees. No team in any American pro sports league has ever even come remotely close to dominating the history of its respective league as the Yankees have.
>>63690230
Good list actually fam. No complaints here/
>>63690561
You're an idiot. The Giants only have 3 in the Bay Area. The A's only have 4. The Raiders only have 2. The Warriors only have 2.
Yes, the TEAMS have the totals you posted, but the Bay Area only has the numbers that I just posted.
>>63690569
Umm.. What are the Celtics?
>>63690230
>5. Chicago
>>63690579
Well, it splits both ways. If you're counting championships from Minneapolis
>>63690561
Dont be like the LA spics who count minnesota titles. SF is the up and coming Boston in terms of sports.
>>63690565
The bay area is just giving the shitty teams to LA
>Chicago
>>63690580
The Celtics and Yankees have won the same percentage of their respective leagues' championships.
>>63690586
I haven't bothered counting LA's championships because I don't care. You clearly think you're talking to someone else.
>>63690603
And every other Boston team is more successful than NY teams, generally. Therefore Boston is clearly the superior sports city - especially in the last 15 years
>>63690580
The Lakers are Celtics tier too. Though Boston will definitely win another one before the they do.
>>63690230
>SF above LA
>the lakers by themselves have the same number of titles as the whole bay area combined

Real list
1. Boston
2. Chicago
3. New York
4. Dallas
5. Philadelphia
In order to be a real sports city you need at least one NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB team. Rankings factor in history of the teams, and fanbases, not necessarily their success (hence Philadelphia).
LA is not a sports city, it's a basketball city, they can't even support an NFL team.
>>63690891

>>63690905
They lost two NFL teams because they're casual fans. Not that I can blame, there's plenty of other thngs to do in LA than sit and watch their shit teams play, but the fans are too fairweather to be considered a sports city.

Any of these lists without Detroit or Boston and with L.A. is a joke.
>>63697027
Detroit is a mixed bag: a fucking failure (Lions), a team of chokers (Tigers), a team that usually sucks but can and has won championships (Pistons), and a gold standard type team in the Wings; does UM and MSU factor in to this?
Boston is definitely worthy; as for NY, the only non-football team that can keep fans when they're not contending for championships is, ironically, the Knicks
I'd go like this:
1. Boston
2. SF Bay Area
3. LA
4. NY
5. Chicago
6. Detroit
9001. Houston
9000000000001. Cleveland
900000000000000001. Minneapolis/St. Paul
900000000000000002. Buffalo
>>63690230
seattle should be higher
LA is 3 chicago is 4 and detroit is 5.
>>63697455
>lost the Sonics
>literally every other team has tried to leave town
>force-feeding MLS because fuck the NBA
>should be higher
The Seahawks championship at least got them out of Cleveland/Minnesota tier, but they don't stack up with the best
I'm an LA sports fan and I despise Boston sports. Seriously, shittiest fans ever to have existed.
With that being said, convince me I'm wrong when I say it should still be ranked a higher sports city than LA.
>>.....LA....sports town
shit bait mate.
So Oakland and SF are one city now?
Ok LA and Boston are one city now too.
1. Chicago/New York
2. Chicago/New York
The funny thing about sports cities is they have to be cities. Not sprawled out shitholes built around the automobile with a culture consisting of nothing more than tourist luring memes. So aside from Chicago and New York there are no real cities in America.
If you want to compare them to population centers with pro sports franchises they would rank near the bottom because they aren't hick towns that worthlessly idolize the brands of billionaire owners. There's other shit to do at night rather than WATCH MUH TEAM.
>>63690333
>>63690373
It's all the bay area. Oakland is kind of like the bronx of the whole san francisco bay area.
>>63697686
>comparing some anonymous one-industry medium sized port town on the west coast to New York City
>>63697636
Fuck you.
>>63690230
replace LA with milwaukee or denver.
>>63697382
LA has the Lakers and a Kings team with fewer cups than the Devils. The second largest city in the country with only maybe 10 titles in the last 30 years and fairweather fans makes for a pretty lousy sports town.
>>63697880
>Milwaukee
>the only team that wins anything isn't even a Milwaukee team
If it wasn't for the Packers being in the same state, Milwaukee would be mentioned in the same breath as Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Buffalo

dude SF has one sports team, Dallas has five. it has historic success and all of them except the cowboys are doing extremely well right now.
Anybody know why las vegas doesn't have any teams?
Fuck San Francisco

>>63702393
Don't the Rangers and Cowboys play in Arlington?
>>63702493
Name one reason that doesn't involve the Yankees as to why Boston's not superior.
>>63701134
3 NBA Championships
4 MLB Championships
4 NFL Championships
13 NHL Championships
>>63702653
both NY teams play in New Jersy, Washington plays in Maryland and you care that those two play in an adjacent city that is basically part of dallas anyway?
and if you are the SF fag they play in Santa Clara
>>63702392
Phoenix has literally 1 championship out of all 4 professional sports.
>>63702370
>16 home games
>>63702653
Arlington is pretty much Dallas
Oakland and Santa Clara have nothing to do with SF
>>63705245
implying Dallas isn't infested with Californian refugees
>>63702677
If you ignore the Yankees, you need to ignore the Celtics, New York definitely still has an edge.
