We're literally winning the Stanley Cup, World Series, and Super Bowl this year. Hell, give us an NBA team and we'll win that shit too.

The best part is that Pittsburgh is an unhatable city. Sure, it has its rival sports fans who root against us, but the city itself has so much class and does things the right way that it's a blessing for us to set an example for other cities.

Even if you want to somehow invalidate the WCG as not being actual playoff baseball, even in years when the Wild Card went straight into the Divisional Series, the Pirates still would have been that team each of the last three years.

I did a summer internship in Meadville, PA and it was a living hell. I lived with an 82 year old man and his dog. The man was a WW2 vet, so you'd think he'd have some pretty cool stories, but no, it was the same 4 boring stories literally every day because he had dementia. Fuck Meadville.
>>
It's easily Boston, like I don't think there's any real argument here. I hate Boston and I would love to see it get bombed again, but fuck they are GOAT at sports. In recent memory, they have like 4 superb owls, 1 NBA championship, at least 1 worlds eries, and idk hockey but I assume their hockey team has won a stan lee cup this century. And then if you look back before this century, they're still insane. The Celtics had a GOAT team in the 80s, and the original GOAT team in the 60s. Red Sox were pretty good too I think.

I don't think any city has been so good at so many sports for so long as Boston has.

20 years ago Boston sports were considered the epitome of shit, I'm old enough to remember. Celtics became utter garbage, Patriots were Cleveland Cavaliers tier at best and total ass at worst, Red Sox had an 80 year championship drought and I'm not really sure about the Bruins but I assume they weren't good either. This board is full of shitters born in the mid 90s who grew up watching Boston teams winning shit but it was hardly always like that.

This might come off as mean to you but the world outside America literally doesn't matter.

Honestly I'd hesitate to count anything before a league has a significant expansion to their league, at least to 10 or more teams.

Super Bowls are worth the most, as any relevant city has an NFL team, and it's the most important sport.

Though a lot of cities only have one or the other, next would be post-expansion NBA Championships and post-expansion Stanley Cups. Any ones won with 9 or 6 teams don't count.

MLB has been around for so fucking long that those old World Series don't hold much value at all. Let's be real, the teams comprised of mostly unathletic, draft dodging white bois. The 1960's are probably a good place to start for counting World Series, as that's when you started seeing some parity among the league.
>>
>>67879349

That 40% of our population probably does. Doesn't make MLS a major sports league though.
>>
>>67879393

>Honestly I'd hesitate to count anything before a league has a significant expansion to their league, at least to 10 or more teams.

Every intelligent person does. It's just butthurt fans trying to justify their shitty teams that do. See Packers and Bears fans.
>>
>>67879400
It's a shit league but still the top level American soccer league there is.
>>
>>67879393
This is fucking retarded. If the NFL expands to 40 teams in the next 50 years people will start bitching that the Patriots and Steelers rings don't count, but they should. A championship is still a championship.

>>67879474
There were still lots of teams in those eras. 10 team minimum league is a good cutoff.
