Have you ever followed a last place sports team?

I am a big fan of french soccer team Saint Etienne.

They suck quite bad

I get to almost every year, I am a huge Raiders fan and they have been fighting for last place for the past few years and while I am not a fan I live in Michigan so i get to hear all about the Lions.

Buffalo Bills fan-I still don't understand how you lose 4 straight Super Bowls
They also haven't made the play-offs since '99, the year of the illegal forward pass-I mean the "Music City Miracle"

As a Minnesotan I also can't help but cheer for our terrible teams. Vikings, Wild, Twins and Timberwolves. The Minnesota mantra: "There's always next year."

And a shame too. 18 (or 19,I've lost count) years straight of losing seasons. They're one of the first teams in the league,played in the first World Series (appearing in 7 total-winning 5), and now they're reduced to that. It's so bad that people around here get excited when they flirt with .500 !

since I grew up in Toronto,was a dumb Maple Leafs hockey fan for too many years
