    The answer is Cleveland.

    It's always Cleveland.

    People in the city have to give a shit about sports for it to be the most miserable sports city.

    I think in general why seattle sucks as a sports town is NOGAF.

    Sure. people will rally around an occasional winner, but in general, they don't care. Seattle pales in comparison to knowledgeable and passionate fans in real sports towns.

    Don't you get tired of always being right?

    There's a reason why #WorstSportsCityOnThePlanet gets used in reference to Seattle so often.

    Indeed. But worst =/= most miserable.

    True, but it can be both in this case.

    At least the Indians have made a World Series and popped off.

    The Seahawks made a Super Bowl

    Seahawks>Browns

    Mariners < Indians

    Sonics before the move>Cavaliers

    Let's not forget too, that Cleveland as a town is miserable. At least Seattle is nice to spend time in.

    Other than Detroit, is there a major city that sucks as much as Cleveland?

    All three cities have shitty weather. Detroit and Cleveland have more black people though...I see where you are going with this.

    i think Seattle has great weather, and no I'm not joking. The fact it's raining today is fucking awesome....long overdue.

    They started asking for money first. The print industry is dying, so they are trying to do something to stay afloat.

    if you can't delete your cookies in year 2013, then let us suggest playing with gas and matches somewhere along Hwy 30, right outside of Scappoose....right before the exit where you get off to the city of Montlake.

    The most miserable sports city in America has to be Los Angeles. All those people in the basin and no NFL?...... and there doesn't seem to be much local(commercial) interest in the NFL returning. Last time I was down there, LA had about seven talk-radio KJR's all competing for who could rip their local pro and major college teams more, and several of the negafans (like us) have sponsors and make a living from their call-ins. Then there's the LA Times, the godfather of all local sports hating rags including the bankrupt Seattle Times.

    Los Angeles is not a suitable location for Pac-12 offices. UW and non-LA members should insist on another locale for the conference headquarters such as a place north of San Francisco in marijuana-wine country. It might help Pac-12 management reach a hasty agreement with DirecTV and anybody else wishing to serve the sporting public.

    The Pac-12's media group is headquartered in SF. The main office is in Walnut Creek.

    LA has Race's Lakers, Race's Kings, and Race's Bruins. That's way better than anything Seattle has.
