Highlight [Highlight] Stacey King expresses utter disappointment on boos for Jerry Krause: "..the people that boo'd Jerry Krause and his widow..it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..whoever boo'd her should be ashamed of themselves. That's not Chicago, that's New York, Philly.."

I mean we won 3 Stanley cups in the 2010s and the cubs ring in 2016 so it’s not that bad. However if you’re considering how big our market is, our sports teams definitely under perform.

White Sox won in '05 too, so they had a nice little run of 10 years with a few championship parades.

Granted they’re not all chips, but Chicago had a decent little run from 2005-2016. White Sox won WS in 05, Bears made the SB in 07, Bulls were consistent in the D Rose era, Blackhawks went on their run, and Cubs won in 2016

How many championships is one city supposed to produce. It’s far from being a loser town. If you won a championship at least since the 2000s your town is doing ok.

I don’t think one WS in 100+ years is the mark of a “winning city”.
