Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

Is right now the worst time in the history of Charlotte pro sports?

The Hornets (formerly Bobcats) have been a dumpster fire since rejoining the NBA 20 years ago. The Panthers were a respectable but frustrating team before David Tepper bought the team, but now they are easily the worst team in the NFL.

Charlotte only has 2 sports teams so it's unfair to compare to every other city in the country with a Big 4 pro sports team, because when you have all 4 of even 3, you tend to have one franchise that ends up being successful. If we're taking into account the Hurricanes and ranking NC's pro sports teams as a whole, the Hurricanes make everything look better in NC pro sports.

But just taking into account cities with an NFL and NBA team, and excluding their respective NHL and MLB teams, in the last 5 years, Charlotte easily takes the crown for the worst city for pro sports. The only other city coming close is Detroit since the Pistons have been awful, but the Lions were in the NFC Championship last year and should probably have made it to the Superbowl if it weren't for some questionable coaching decisions. Indianapolis could be mentioned because the Colts and Pacers have had a somewhat rough go the last 5 years, but both the Colts and Pacers have had more recent success than either the Panthers or Hornets.

Sadly enough I think the Panthers have a better shot at success than the Hornets since the NBA is structured more towards star player driven success and the NFL is a team driven sport where there is more parity year to year. But I'm fairly confident this level of misery will continue for some time.

It's Charlotte and Detroit. Hornets and Pistons are both ass. The Lions success last year doesn't undo decades of poor to mediocre play. Panthers I don't need to explain. Both the Tigers and the Red Wings haven't had any real success over the last decade. Detroit has 3 sucky teams and one good one that was sucky forever. Charlotte just has two sucky ones, but doesn't have a good one to rest their laurels on, so it's probably a wash.

Hornets won't be bad for long. Brandon Miller has legit superstar talent.

 

Kind of crazy MJ's last draft selection might have been his best. Maybe that's good news for new ownership. They have a piece they can build around.

If championships are truly all that matters than Charlotte is the 7th worst sports city behind Minneapolis, Buffalo, San Diego, New York, Phoenix, and Cincinnati. This is based on number of played seasons across all sports without a championship.

They should add MLS and the WNBA to that list. It would change it.

If wasn’t for the canes, NC would be the worst sports state in the history of sports. 

They make up for it in college basketball as NC is by far the best NCAAM state in the country.

      Bryce Young for Trevor Lawrence

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I'd rather figure out a way to get Howell from Seattle.  I think he would do really well in Canales offense.  I also think Howell would do great with this offensive line. Thoughts?

      Andy Dalton is a top 5 QB so far

      By strato · Posted

      30 points a game. People were hoping to get 17-21 with Young at Qb. This week will be a tougher defense sure would be nice to eat off their plate.
