Mike Wilbon said Washington D.C isn't a sports town

[OG Talk]

No it's not.

You mentioned Dallas ... the Cowboys dwarf attendance at SMU games.

Cleveland? If there's a FBS team there, let us know. Same with Detroit.

The Steelers play in the same stadium as Pitt ... they outdraw them by a grip.

The Eagles play in the same stadium as Temple ... they outdraw them by a grip.

Compare attendance at Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricane games, Atlanta Falcons and Georgia Tech game, Houston Texans and Houston/Rice games, Arizona Cardinals and Arizona State games, Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Bulls games, Tennessee Titans and Vanderbilt games, Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Bearcats games, Denver Broncos and Colorado St. games, Giants/Jets and Rutgers games, San Diego Chargers and SDSU games ...

What's rare about it again?

And the Wiz are consistently getting 17,000+ at home games and you can't find a fan? I'm from here and know a ton.

^^^^^

I'm talking about the greater area not just the same exact zipcode that the pro team plays in....Most sports fans live in the suburbs and travel within a 60 mile radius.. Of course college football in the actual inner city is trash almost everywhere...

Austin, Athens, Columbus, Ann Arbor and Tallahasee all share fan bases with the areas NFL teams....Hell even the Redskins don't actually play in the city so I thought that was understood...


You are right about the Wizards though... Their attendance is much better than I initially assumed from the handful of games I've gone too...This area is a huge hoops hot bead from starting at the HS level...I would argue on a local level if you take away the transplants it's more of a basketball town than a football town...

 

[mastermind]

there's a layer of washington that transplants aren't even aware of that operates underneath all the hysteria of the city that newcomers thrive on

this is the crux of it.


A lot of these carpet baggers dont actually know DC the way they think they do. They coudlnt tell you who Chuck Brown is, or why most area folk dont walk around Trinidad. Couldnt tell you why Hechinger Mall is called Hechinger Mall, or why Georgia Avenue is important. They dont know shyt about this area, yet are trying to tell us about this area. Its disgusting.

Why would he be mad? Yall OT nikkaz really don't know the area like that.

 

[mastermind]

Its amazing how writers like Wilbon thee days have more of an ego and sense of entitlement then even athletes

This nikka really thinks who he is

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Not you too?!?!

It is what it is breh, certain things that OT nikkaz ain't hip to.

I don't understand...

Real n1ggas like me and Wilbon are tryin to tell you about yourselves and you deflect to make the conversation about go go music and mambo sauce




What does that gotta do with being able to see that Fed Ex Field looks like the Attack of the Killer Bees during Steelers games?

 

[Tuc2DaBoot]

ATL is the shytty sports town poster child

This statement is so incorrect that it's almost not funny.

Cities like Tampa, who can't even sell out FOOTBALL games, and Miami, who built a brand new stadium and STILL had no big crowds show up along with damn near empty stadiums for Dolphins games... are better than Atlanta?

Yeah, y'all keep talking that ridiculous shyt.
