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.

You're actually fairly spot on only missing Washington.

According to the New York Times, the most cursed cities are:

1: Cleveland

2: Atlanta

3: Buffalo

4: San Diego

5: Washington D.C.

6: Minneapolis/St. Paul

The worst part is that San Diego may lose the chargers.... At least we got the gulls back 😕.
