Michael Wilbon trashes D.C. as a sports town

ESPN the Magazine’s D.C. issue is super, super cool, and I think you should get your hands on it.

That said, the large box inside the RGIII story featuring Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser talking about our city and its sporting passions is a giant smelly burp inserted in the middle of a delicious and pleasing meal.

Wilbon was never anything but a prince to me, and was always far kinder than he had reason to be. But I’ll never understand why he seems to go out of his way to antagonize the fans and readers who helped turn him into a national star. Is D.C. the greatest sports town in the world? Clearly not. Is it worthy of repeated trashing? I don’t see why that would be the case.

“Pardon the reality check, but DC just isn’t built to be a sports town,” reads the subhed on this back-and-forth, and the text lives up to that billing.

“It doesn’t compare,” Wilbon says of Washington. “No, it’s terrible. It’s not even close to New York, Philly, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, LA. It’s last….It’s because people don’t call this home, really. They still call somewhere else home. I’ve been here 32 years, and I still barely call it home….
