Anon IPs have made some curious edits to this and someone needs to verify that things like dates and places and teams are all true and that there's no crypto-vandalism going on. I know comparatively little about sports, so anyone who sees this and can verify the article contents, please do and then remove the headers after leaving a note on the talk page. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 19:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soccer?

We need more information on the famous soccer droughts. There's got to be more than just Hibernian's follies. -RomeW 06:13, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is ridiculous!!

No talk about Cleveland which has waited longer than any other city w/ at least 3 major sports franchises for a title. The Browns last won a title in 1964--the NFL Championship--before the Super Bowl even existed. The Indians last won the World Series in 1948 (only twice in franchise history) and the Cavs have never won the NBA title. By far worse than Chicago or Philadelphia. Not to mention the fact that ESPN, the ultimate U.S. sports authority declared Cleveland the most tortured sports city of the last 25 years. That was an objective decision, not an opinion of a Clevelander.

By the way, I deleted the part that said in reference to the Chicago Bulls, "ouside of their six titles, they haven't won another title." This is simply rediculous. You can't say that. It doesn't even make sense. Then New Yorkers could say, "outside of the Yankees 26 World Series Championships, we haven't won a title, so we are tortured and experiencing a drought." Just plain rediculous, I'm sorry. Obviously the person who wrote the majority of this is from Chicago or biased toward Chicago. This whole page should be deleted b/c it is not objective. Why is this in Wikipedia again? It's junk. I'm sorry. It's terrible, please just delete the whole thing. If you're going to do a page this slanted and this pitiful, start a blog and post your own terrible opinions. Don't do it on what is supposed to be an objective encyclopedia. Thank you!

Although I added to this article to flesh it out, I kind of agree that this is not really worthy of an encyclopedia article. It is pretty unbiased now, but... is this really objective information? I dunno... --Jaysweet 21:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needed Addition

I just added some factual information about Cleveland's sports' drought in the interest of accuracy.
