The spelling isnt always how you pronounce it, so people who know its Pittsburgh but doesnt know it has a "h" at the end will be confused and ultimately have less fun doing the quiz, because they failed since the english language likes to pronounce things differently to how its spelled

The Bay Area doesn't include Sacramento. Nobody, when they talk about the Bay Area, thinks of Sacramento. It's halfway to Nevada, that'd be like calling Bakersfield part of Los Angeles.

As I live near Sacramento. We don't like to be associated with the Bay Area. We like just being Sacramento. Not San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, etc. Since Sacramento doesn't even touch the San Francisco Bay and we are about a 2 hour drive away.

Not until the Raiders actually move to Vegas, which will happen in either 2019 or 2020... Which is really sad to Oakland: having to host during at least two years a team whose owner has shown them the middle finger.

Does anyone know top 5 cities by number of "lost" franchises?

This list seems overpopulated to me, but I don't know much about sports or the corruption associated with it.

I wouldn't think that a city like Detroit would warrant 4 teams.

I think some of these have populations with very big crime issues, like San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, DC, Baltimore, St Louis..

Seems like they wouldn't have money to waste on something like corporate sports. I wonder if it's a new phenomenon to see such large metropolises in the modern world take downturns. I guess patterns repeat in larger ways as the global population grows.

"Lost franchises?" Only currently existing teams are on this list. Out of any of the cities you mentioned only St. Louis has recently lost a team. Your judgement on whether a team can survive in a city is quite far off, and it has nothing to do with corruption.

Since 2000, Vancouver, Charlotte, Montreal, Seattle, Atlanta, Newark, St. Louis, San Diego, Oakland, and Phoenix have lost sports teams. Very few if any are linked to crime rates or corruption (expect maybe Oakland).
