I was in Quebec the day Les Nordiques announced they were moving to Colorado. I saw people sobbing in the streets. They took it as bad or worse than did Sonic fans.

How about Oregon Football moving from Portland to Eugene?

How come hiring Tyrone Willingham wasn't mentioned as a death knell?

Made even worse by the fact that they won the Cup their first year in Denver.DerekJohnson said:I was in Quebec the day Les Nordiques announced they were moving to Colorado. I saw people sobbing in the streets. They took it as bad or worse than did Sonic fans.
Most painful hockey relocation was the North Stars, though. Heart and soul of Minnesota and surrounding bumfuck states with nothing to do in winter, moved to Dallas so fags in cowboy hats and oakleys like toppy can watch. Also won their only cup after moving. -
You mean to say hockey means more to Canadians than basketball to Washingtonians? That's some cutting edge insight there.DerekJohnson said:I was in Quebec the day Les Nordiques announced they were moving to Colorado. I saw people sobbing in the streets.

They missed the mark on not including the shutdown of Western's Football program.

Too much rape culture and war imagery associated with that mascot.H_D said:They missed the mark on not including the shutdown of Western's Football program.

I didn't read the article but I have to assume losing the Browns who hadn't won shit since Jim Brown and then watching the Ravens win 2 Super Bowls while the Browns are the worst franchise in sports has to be #1
-
NOGAF about Cleveland. They don't deserve a football team. Then again, neither does Baltimore.RaceBannon said:I didn't read the article but I have to assume losing the Browns who hadn't won shit since Jim Brown and then watching the Ravens win 2 Super Bowls while the Browns are the worst franchise in sports has to be #1

The North Stars had the coolest logo in sports.

moving the team suddenly is one of the many things I dislike about pro sports.
For a team that is a slut to which city has money, until lately, look at the Sacremento Kings:
History Rochester (Eber) Seagrams/Pros
1923–1945
Rochester Royals
1945–1957
Cincinnati Royals
1957–1972
Kansas City-Omaha Kings
1972–1975
Kansas City Kings
1975–1985
Sacramento Kings
1985–present[1]
Seattle deal fails -

Why do they not deserve a team?
This thread is not your element -
I wish the Blazers would be on this list.

Shaking and vomiting there's no outrage over the Grizzlies move to Memphis or the Jazz to Utah, neither of which made sense from a mascot standpoint.
Right up there with the Lakers. -
Seattle Pilots?
-
Neither of those teams had any real tradition in the town they left behind. If the Grizz ever left Memphis would there would be a much bigger outcry. If the Jazz ever left Salt Lake there'd be a mass Mormon suicide.PurpleThrobber said:Shaking and vomiting there's no outrage over the Grizzlies move to Memphis or the Jazz to Utah, neither of which made sense from a mascot standpoint.
