	chicago doesn't belong on the baseball list. the white sox won the series in 2005.

Comment below threshold: show it

	This is a pretty neat idea, but how you've set the parameters of your game isn't consistent with cities at all. You should reconfigure this to title-starved teams. If you don't, tpayton's complaint is very valid, especially if you don't explain that in your note.

	feste26:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 04:51 GMT	3 points
	At a minimum, your fourth NFL answer needs to be "Nashville/Houston" to make it consistent with the rest of the game. Also, the Nets, Pacers, and Nuggets all won ABA titles (in the 60s/70s, falling in the correct time frame). You don't have to include those, of course, but the ABA is more or less analogous to the AFL, which you've included, so that's a little weird.

	fordefr:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 06:33 GMT	4 points
	Yeah your quiz is which franchises, not cities. Otherwise Chicago does not belong on here in any sport. Change the title and description.

	Where's Uniondale?

	PhillieSox:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 13:10 GMT	0 points
	Thank you feste26. I've modified the answers so they're more consistent. And Jmarshallg, I didn't include Uniondale since it's a suburb of NYC. I grouped it under the larger heading of that city

	Milwaukee hasn't seen a World Series Winner since 1957.

	WAG:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 15:39 GMT	3 points
	Seattle hasnt had a winner in NFL or MLB since those teams inceptions in 1976. How do they not count?

	CleveMike:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 16:01 GMT	6 points
	I interpreted your instructions to ask "which city has the longest title drought in each of the four major sports leagues using only teams that have already won a championship in that city." Therefore, I don't think Chicago belongs on the football list because the Bears won the Super Bowl in 1986.

	DanTravers:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 16:29 GMT	8 points
	A team from Washington hasn't won the World Series since 1924.

	dfoliver:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 17:03 GMT	6 points
	WHat about Los Angeles in hockey. FYI, Anaheim is NOT Los Angeles.

	4uwbadgers:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 17:32 GMT	2 points
	@WAG If you read the directions it said that the city had to have won a title in the sport.

	Etheridge2:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 17:45 GMT	4 points
	You should accept Phoenix or Arizona for the Cardinals in football, I realize they play in Glendale, but they have never been known as the Glendale Cardinals. Either Chicago shouldn't be up there as the Bears won the Super Bowl in 1985. Also I assume you count the Angels for the LA area for baseball which is why the Dodgers are not listed, but why not count the Oakland/San Francisco area as one metro area as they are probably more so than LA/Anaheim..also since this is more about the cities than the franchises I agree with others who think Washington DC should be listed for Baseball as the city has won a title of course Baltimore/Washington is as much one metro area as LA/Anaheim and SF/Oak but what can you do. You should also indicate that you are counting AFL Championships as that isn't always automatically assumed.

	apeman33:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 18:05 GMT	5 points
	People only get Glendale right because they type in "Chicago." So the high percentage of people getting that answer right is sort of artificial.

	JohnJF:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 18:15 GMT	3 points
	No but seriously, why no Milwaukee? I know the Brewers haven't won but the Braves did win while in Milwaukee.

	jaysee:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 18:36 GMT	5 points
	If you are going to include AFL teams (San Diego) you should also consider ABA teams (Indiana).

	This quiz is painful for fans of Cleveland sports. Sigh...

	Milwaukee (Braves) last won the World Series in 1957 Washington (Senators) last won the World Series in 1924 If pre-Super Bowl NFL championships are included, pre-World Series champions should be included adding Providence, Rhode Island whose team won the NL Pennant (& therefore was champion of the only Major League) in 1885?

	WeirFan:	Apr 24th, 2011 at 14:38 GMT	-1 points
	The New York Islanders last won in 1983, which should place them between Philly and Calgary.

	WeirFan:	Apr 24th, 2011 at 14:40 GMT	-2 points
	And my baseball knowledge isn't entirely sound, but shouldn't the 1986 Mets be on the list ahead of the 1989 A's?

	itsacon:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 02:27 GMT	1 point
	Not that I necessarily agree with it, but I believe the titles followed the teams that moved. So yes, the Sens won in 1924, but the Sens moved to Minnesota in 1960 and won the Pennant in 1991. The Mets don't count, not because they last won in 1986, but because the Yankees have won a bunch since then, so the city has seen a champion. The same would hold true for the Islanders (Rangers won in '94) and the Dodgers (Angels won in 2002). The the Providence Grays won in 1884 and are just two old for the list. I don't necessarily agree with the quiz, but it is consistent with league records, since the records follow the teams, and not stay with the city, with the exception being for Cleveland where the Browns moved to Baltimore, but the records did not follow the team.
