Is there anything worse than being a Seattle sports fan?

Houston, they're giving you a run for the money. You at least have a more livable climate in which to sulk.

[Carnos Jax]

You're both wrong.

Cleveland. Teams suck, weather sucks, etc.

Atlanta has always been known as having the most fickle fans. We have let two NHL teams escape. However, we've also only had one professional championship in almost 50 years of having Pro sports.

Cleveland, for sure.

The Pirates haven't had a winning season in so long they almost cancel out the Penguins and Steelers combined records.

Warm weather NHL teams seem to exist only because people have moved from colder (NHL) cities and need a hockey fix. It's so foreign to me to see hockey in Miami and Phoenix. And when a team like the Red Wings play in L.A. half the fans are cheering for Detroit!
I think hockey is so foreign in Atlanta that if the team isn't a winner it'll disappear quickly.

yeah, but it cost me $8 to get into Jacobs Field, so I liked that part. :-)

There's no reason for Atlanta or Phoenix to have NHL teams. The American cities didn't want them and the Canadian cities want them back.
