MLB has 1/2 the teams without a championship than the NFL despite decidedly more unfair payroll rules. They also only have 1 team to never appear in a World Series compared to the NFL's 4, and only 3 that haven't been to multiple compared to the NFL's 9.
Just was kind of surprised seeing that because the talk is always about parity.
That's always been the dirty little secret with the NFL. You hear that parity word used more in reference to the NFL than any other league, yet you have 12 teams (hopefully 11 in a couple weeks) without a championship.
An even more amazing stat is that a whopping 30 of the 55 Super Bowls have been won by 6 teams.
Patriots - 6 in 11 appearances
Steelers - 6 of 8
Cowboys - 5 of 8
49ers - 5 of 7
Packers - 4 of 5
Giants - 4 of 5
Then you also have
Broncos - 3 of 8
Raiders - 3 of 5
Redskins/Football Team - 3 of 5
So these 9 teams have accounted for 39 of the 55 championships (71%) and 62 of the 110 appearances (56%).
You have 9 teams with at least 3 rings, and 12 teams with 0.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
