Subject: Philly does indeed suckThe city of Philadelphia does suck. I have actually visited Philly and the only things good about it are the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. All of the sports teams in Philly suck too, that is for sure.
There is some good news for Philly fans, though.
First of all, at least the Flyers have won two Stanley Cups. My hockey team, the Washington Capitals, have never won even one.
Second, the Phillies, although they have the most overall losses all-time and they took 97 years before they won a World Series, the Cubs have not won a World Series now for 98 years and counting.
Third, at least Philadelphia has all four major sports teams. My home city of Richmond, VA has trouble even supporting minor league teams in baseball and hockey.
Fourth and finally, the fact that Philly may end up first in homicides and be first in something is better than Richmond ending up second in the murders per 100,000 category in 1994 (160 murders, second to new Orleans). We can’t even be first in that category. Take heart. It could be much worse.
