As a long time philadelphia sports fan, I am completely soured on the chances of seeing a championship team this year.  I have been patient.  I have been vocal.  I prayed to God.  I cursed God.  I am now to the point that I am completely numb to all sporting events that have a philadelphia team in it.
Whenever I look back at all the near misses in the 23 years of no championships, I start to tear up.  I know that my suffering doesn’t compare to Cub fans, but my city has all four major sports teams(football, baseball, basketball, hockey).  The sixers last won in 1983.  OMG, this is just ridiculous.  The SIXERS?!!  The Phillies did it in 1980.(by the way, that year is the only year all four teams in the major sports from one city have ever been in the finals)  Sadly, only the Phillies won their final.  The Flyers last won in 1974-75.  Bobbi Clarke was the captain, not the burnt out GM.  The Eagles, well, they are still looking for a Super Bowl win.(won the Championship in 1960 before it was called Super Bowl) 

 My point is that I am tired of all the excuses that seem to go along with Philadelphia sports teams.  They had injuries.  They had one bad play.  Mitch Wild Thing Williams was pitching.  Always something to tell the fans about why they didn’t get the job done.  How long before fans stop showing up to games?  How much of this can one endure?  If you have the answer to any of these questions, please feel free to let me know.  Check out the poll and let me know when a Philadelphia team will win.
