Stephen A is right. It has to be Boston.

Stephen A is an idiot...the fact he said Dodger fans could care less, is all the proof you need to know he doesn't have a clue..

I watch ever game every move

[@ando5581]

I’m from Minnesota, and I know it’s Boston. It’s not the biggest market, because that’s bs, a big city doesn’t mean passionate sports fans. The best sports town should be based on the franchises, and most enthusiastic and loyal fans. That has to be Boston. Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, Celtics. Basically each one is the #1 or #2 most well known franchises in each sport.

[@yanii5691]

Notice how in every major sport Boston has a championship contender. Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and the Bruins are a playoff team.

[@sabihfaraz6732]

Offtopic K The fact that Max used the narrative that just because New York has 2 teams makes them better is hilarious having 2 teams that are losers and haven't done shit in years is actually more embarrassing I hope first take at some point has a show in Boston I want those fans to give him a warm welcome lol

It has to be Boston. Celtics and Patriots are obviously self explanatory. 2 of the the most successful franchises in sports period. The Red So are always relevant. When it comes to professional sports. No other town comes close to Boston.

The rankings might have slightly changed since that 2017 census, but that is hardly the point. Philly is a decently large city, end of story.

[@PedroMartinez-tt7lr]

Donald Curry - True. In terms of passion for their teams places like Buffalo, San Antonio, Green Bay and Portland can compete with anyplace - especially since they only have one professional team to dedicate themselves to.

[@donaldcurry150]

[@hmwong88]

Stephen A. has got it right!!!! On top of the Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics, Boston has colleges and University sports teams and the Boston marathon.

[@o4tw382]

I’m from Philly but I have to go it to Boston 🫡 New York is ahead of Houston though

[@Cam-zb7ut]

If you think about it like this: NY-2 NFl teams BOS-1 yet that Boston team had more super bowls NY-2 NBA teams BOS-1 yet that Boston team has more NBA championships NY-1 NHL team BOS-1 and Boston has more Stanley cups The only sport they got us beat is baseball

[@mattrick6493]

If your talking about team success it’s obviously Boston the patriots won two years ago, the Red Sox won in 2013 the Celtics won in 2008 and the bruins won in 2011. All four teams have won either the Super Bowl, World Series, Nba Finals, or NHL Stanley cup. If your talking about fan support Boston wins that as well. Walk around anywhere in New England and you will see Red Sox hats, patriots and Celtics shirts, and bruins jackets. Aside from Minnesota and Michigan the New England states produce the most American NHL hockey players. Walk around New York and you will maybe see one Yankees hat.

[@hiphoprbloverjon9180]

New England doesn't even produce any basketball, football, or baseball players though.

[@basketballaddict2885]

HipHopR&BLover Patrick Ewing, Dr J, Marcus Camby, Alex Cobb, Tim Collins, Chris Colabello, Steve Cishek, Brian Wilson, Steve Haushka, Anthony Sherman, Kiko Alonso, Phillip Gaines, Anthony Fabiano. They are taking about the sports teams not the level of talent that the place produces. If it were that then it would be LA or New York easily. Boston is known more for producing great hockey players.

[@dghvdhfhhb6405]

HipHopR&BLover Jon New England is considered Boston

[@hiphoprbloverjon9180]

[@Noahhhhhhhh]

Boston is the best sports town period no discussion they have atleast six championships in each major sport

[@bradleycloetingh9586]

1. Philly 2. Boston 3. New York 4. Chicago 5. LA

[@SShaBazzz]

Boston is THE Sports Town. Celtics * 11 chips * 2 top 5 players of all time. * Greatest Small Forward to ever touch a basketball. Patriots * Greatest QB of all time * Arguably best TE of all time. * 5 chips * 20 year dominance. Red Sox * Champion contenders ever year * heart of Yankees vs Red Sox * some of highest selling sports apparel. Boston easily.

[@Ares14]

Easily? how about the argument for bay area based teams? 49ers: 5 chips Also dominant for almost 20 years. 1981-1998. Joe Montana: No one more clutch in super bowl history and the former QB goat. Jerry Rice: The literal greatest NFL player to ever touch a football Ronnie Lott: The most dynamic DB of all time. played CB, SS and FS at elite levels. Steve young: holder of the highest career passer rating when he retired Giants: The most successful franchise over the past 10 years if we're speaking chips and one of the most successful franchises if we want to count the entire Giant history. Willie Mays: Arguably the most talented baseball player ever and some say the best baseball player who ever lived. Barry Bonds: Home run king and still would of been the only man in the 400hr/400sb and 500hr/500sb club minus the steroid speculation which are records that may never be broken. Oldest rivalry in professional American sports: Giants vs Dodgers. The most HOF players in the National league (Yanks are #1 overall) Warriors: So dominant that they have "ruined the NBA" with 3 chips and probably a couple more on the way when its all said and done Best shooter(s) in the history of the game. I still think Boston as a whole has more success because its hard for me to count the accolades of the Warriors and Giants pre Bay area as west coast teams obviously haven't been around as long. But idk if its a layup that Boston takes the cake.

[@legariansteele3643]

+Ares14 RAIDERS got 3

[@SShaBazzz]

@@Ares14 the bay area is not a city, do you mean Oakland? 2. Tom Brady is the greatest football player to ever touch a football as of now. 3. Patriots now hold the greatest comeback in NFL history in a superbowl and again in a playoff game. 4. Bill Belicheck is the greatest Coach of all time and who he work for? Patriots. 5. Rob Gronk is the greatest TE to ever live. 5. Boston has THE CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS in Bill Russell. They named the mvp award after him. 6. Boston hold the greatest SF to ever touch a basketball in Larry Bird. People dont realize how good that white dude was. Hes the Eminem of Basketball. 7. The ambiance of Boston far exceeds other sports towns. That's why it's called Boston Strong. 8. The Boston Gardens. 9. Red Sox are the 2nd greatest Baseball team behind the Yankees. Not saying Oakland is a bad sports town But in Boston, it's an entirely different level of excitement.

[@Ares14]

I know the bay area is not a city. Max was talking about Boston representing the NE area as a whole as the Pats obviously don't play in Boston also. Not hating on Bostons history of excellence but I'm just confused on how we dont get any love out here with having some of the most legendary sports stars in the history of all professional american sports.

[@SShaBazzz]

@@Ares14 the reason Pat's are considered with Boston is because sense they are on the edge, they are extremely close to Boston. Also, Boston funds a lot of the Patriots brand. Pat's have a Perade in Boston even though they are in Bristol. That's all I was saying. I wasnt trying to hate or put anyone down by saying that because I've visited the Bay area and it's great there. But Boston is something special. I've never seen an ambiance like that before.

[@mr.noprobz3412]

I see exactly what Stephen is saying, he has a point probably with the stats or so-but Omari was spot on (didn't even Google on his smartphone). It's NYC, Boston, and then Chitown.

[@realblakewilliamson]

Boston has 4 teams unlike LA and NYC. All 4 of their teams in the NFL,NBA,NHL & MLB are historical powerhouses & have many championships. If you argue the Lakers are more important than the Celtics that’s fine because the Celtics are undoubtedly #2 all time in the nba. The patriots are the #1 dynasty and team in the NFL. The Yankees are the biggest franchise ever in the MLB but I believe the Red Sox are somewhere in the top 3. And I admittingly don’t know much about hockey but the bruins are also one of the biggest most important franchises in that league. No other sports town on average has that many important powerhouse teams and the championship pedigree that Boston has with only 4 major pro sports teams.

[@WoodssM32]

[@jhorsmanma]

Max's comment about New York splitting teams makes no sense. The fact that they have twice as many means that they are twice as likely to win a championship. Also, that means that fans have options in who to root for. I firmly believe the correct answer is Boston, but that point Max made doesn't hurt New York, it does nothing but improve their case. And yet they still are clearly not as great as Boston. So, in conclusion, Boston is great and Max is an idiot.

[@kurayahmi]

*Max is right though. NY has so many sports teams that fans are divided, and so is the market in every sport, while it's the opposite with Boston, so you might think Boston is number1 but really it's NY by far. Just imagine if NY had one baseball team, one basketball team, and one football team*

[@winter32842]

What would NY do different if it had only had one baseball team, one basketball team, and one football team? Nothing. Ny would still have poor management and would continue make poor decision. Having two teams gives you double the chance of winning.

[@M3333C]

NY had one basketball team for awhile and they still sucked. Wouldnt make a difference if they had one team. New york is still number 1 or 2

[@mikechecks.1.2]

Nets were still a New York-area basketball team when they played in Jersey. They spent most of their history in the Izod Center, in the same complex that the Giants and Jets play in. So really, there’s been 2 New York basketball teams for a very long time.
