They get one championship every 6 or so years. God has to give them something for all the elderly sacrifices the state gives him

The state is able to support three NFL franchises and two of the biggest college football programs in the country. What do you mean what's the deal?
>>
>>66986348
that and one of the more successful NBA teams, a 2x world series champion, and the panthers are currently in the playoffs. OP confirmed faggot

>>66987549

And the Lightning won a cup in our lifetime as well. If you want to make fun of Florida sports show their attendance numbers.

>>66985621
you misspelled Minnesota and used the wrong pictures. Really what's up with Minnesota sports?

>vikings, 4 owls, no championships
>north stars, no championships, move to dallas get championship
>Wild, no championships despite being "the state of hockey"
>Timberwolves, does anyone even know this team exists? 0 championships

If teams were forced to draft based on their region, Florida would be GOAT.

Texas and California have likely produced more pro athletes. You can't measure a state based on one draft.

>>66988111
and even then, where they went to college is not as important as where they are from.

>You can't measure a state based on one draft.

Did you read the article?

>Over the past four drafts, Florida has the most draft picks by an astounding +31. Since 2012, 143 players have been drafted from the Sunshine State, averaging 36 draftees each spring. Seven players from Florida were selected in the first round last month, the most of any state.

>>66988127
And this is based on which state they played HS football not college.

Disregard that, I suck cocks.

Sort by number of active players.

Florida would still be pretty good, though.

You now remember the Beezer.
>>
>>66985621
Fairweather state where large numbers of residents aren't from the area and see their residence there as only temporary because they're awaiting death or they're in college. These people generally aren't invested in the local teams or the future of the city/state they're in.

Add that to the southern obsession with muh college sports purity and pretending nascar is a major sport.

Florida sports team owners are generally buying teams for the wrong reasons.

>le fairweather meme

It's basic capitalism you turbo pleb. Are you going to keep consuming a product that is low quality?

>muh loyalty

This is literally the only argument that can be used against the greatness of Florida sports and it's a terrible one at that.
>>
>>66987912
You forgot the Twins. But so does everyone
>>
>>66992219
Florida isn't the South you retard.

and nobody gives a shit about nascar
>>
>>66988882
You also forgot the magic in 1995 and 2009.
