Greatest Sports Franchise in the World
Ogaju:
opinions please. I am tired of hearing the talking heads on Fox/Espn continually refer to the Lakers as the greatest sport's franchise in the world. If I had to choose I probably choose a soccer team followed by a baseball team, followed by a football team then the Celtics.
ManU/Arsenal/Real Madrid
Yankees/Dodgers/Red Sox
Cowboys/Green Bay/Redskins.
Celtics/Lakers/Knicks
Sure my list is controversial..... what say you?
rocknrollforyoursoul:
No Patriots? :-\
nickagneta:
I would agree that a soccer franchise would be number 1 and also number 2. Probably Real Madrid and ManU. Then I think its the Yankees. Then probably the Celtics. The Cowboys would definitely be the top football franchise.
GreenEnvy:
I don’t know anything about soccer, but those are the three most popular teams so I assume they are all great.
I don’t see how any baseball team comes close to the Yankees. They are the greatest MLB franchise without question.
Football is more interesting, where you have the Cowboys, Packers, Steelers, and Patriots all qualified imo.
Basketball only has two options, Celtics and Lakers. And since 17 is more than 16, there you have it.
