These Franchises Are An Embarrassment To Their Sports

New York Jets

The only good thing that we can say about the Jets is that they won a Super Bowl. But it feels like a lifetime since the days of Joe Namath. These days it’s a massive story for the Gang Green when their team makes the playoffs. It doesn’t happen very often so that’s not a surprise.

In recent years, the Jets have been an embarrassment to the NFL. They drafted quarterbacks like Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson but went nowhere. Meanwhile, there were hilarious incidents in their history like the infamous ‘Butt Fumble (via The Guardian).”

Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus Blue Jackets

The Blue Jackets spent years treading water before showing signs of improvement in the late 2010s. But then they regressed again and showed why they’re one of hockey’s most depressing franchises. Their fans agree that they’re an embarrassment to the sport but that’s life (via The Athletic).

Columbus Dispatch

We always respect people who follow notoriously bad teams. It’s not easy to spend every weekend watching a franchise lose. But that’s the Blue Jackets’ story and it’s one that their fanbase is familiar with. Perhaps one day they’ll compete for a Stanley Cup but it won’t be anytime soon.

Charlotte Hornets

The old Charlotte Bobcats have the worst historical season in NBA history. After they revived the old ‘Hornets’ nickname they became one of the most pointless teams ever. Michael Jordan has a controlling stake in the franchise but he’s a garbage owner.

Bleacher Report

Skip Bayless described the Bulls legend as the worst NBA owner of all time. He believes that the franchise is an embarrassment to the sport and doesn’t contribute anything. They made rotten draft decisions and never compete at the top of their division (via FOX Sports).

The Atlantic

Washington Nationals

One analysis identified the Nationals as the most challenging team to support in sports. That’s because they are atrocious by any marker. Yes, they recently won a World Series but their reaction made it appear to be a mistake. They instantly posted the worst three seasons after winning a title.

Meanwhile, they lost the most games in franchise history as well as the worst run differential. We’re only talking about their recent history here because things become even worse. Before their World Series win, the Nationals were more than an embarrassment to MLB (via Washington Post).

Sky Sports

Washington Commanders

It’s difficult to know where to begin with the Commanders because they are a massive embarrassment. Most of this is because of their owner, Dan Snyder. He is one of the worst figures in the league with a notorious sexual harassment case hanging over him (via Bleacher Report).

Another terrible aspect of his ownership was his refusal to change the franchise’s name. It didn’t matter that it insulted native Americans. Finally, sponsors threatened to withdraw and he backed down. Then there were dozens of awful moments on the pitch that stressed their fans.
