LoyalFansUSA

LoyalFansUSA ranks American sports cities according to decades of heartbreak, disappointment, and perseverance across the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL.

Cities are evaluated over a rolling 40-season window using a proprietary Misery Index that rewards championships and playoff success while penalizing prolonged futility.

Congratulations, Phoenix — you've out-suffered everyone. The sun shines year-round, but championships remain in short supply. Cleveland, don't worry: you're still very much in the conversation.
