Curious for your take - Cincy Sports Fan Commiseration
#1
This is my first post on here, so I will start by piggybacking off another thread.

The "What is your breaking point' Thread got me thinking.

I want to understand from other common, and reasonable Bengals/Reds fans, What do you honestly think is the impediment to these franchises?

As I belabored earlier, Reds 22 Years, Bengals 26: 0 playoff advances, 13 winning seasons in the last 48 new seasons.

This sort of dual pattern for 2 sports teams is honestly beyond unlucky. It would be the semi-equivalent of playing Roulette and hitting black on a absurd amount of consecutive spins.

Pro teams luck in playoff success all the time - the way the leagues are set up, you should never go 20+ years without success in the postseason.


I have my theory - Cincinnati is a nice medium sized town, MIdwest values, kind, stuck in the past, antiquated, loyal to a fault, and not very hard to impress. I think that permeates the sports culture here, unfortunately.

The Owners/GMs of our teams do things so differently than everyone else, I think we need an outsider to own the teams. Having Cincy roots with Brown, Lindner, Marge and now Castellini - These folks are deluded when it comes to running a cut-throat, fierce, and competitive franchise.

I do not know. I am curious to hear others thoughts. Please, do not reply if you think the leagues or umps/reffs are biased to the Bengals or Reds - Those crazy conspiracies can be saved for your next town hall w/ Rand Paul.
