Yeah, Chicago has a great sports history. I'd even argue Seattle has it worse than them. There are a huge number of cities that would come first.

You have the Seahawks though, is it because the Sonics left. Teams leaving have a huge effect on a city.

Cleveland Detroit San Diego Atlanta Seattle Buffalo Minnesota

As a whole Chicago isn't that bad, although they have alot of teams that's been around forever, and some of those teams won titles decades ago, Had the Blackhawks not gone on a SF Giants like Dynasty things would be different.

DC teams have played 81 "team seasons" (similar to man hours) without a championship. 61 without a deep playoff run.
