You Just Might Be INSANE for Cheering for These CURSED Teams (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL)

In this video we're looking at the most cursed sports teams across the major North American pro leagues — NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL. Many of these teams have never won a championship, and some of them are going on decades since they last tasted glory. If your favorite franchises aren't used to winning Super Bowls, World Series, NBA Finals, or Stanley Cups, then this is definitely one you won't want to miss.

Sports is no stranger to curses; we've seen recent ones like the Curse of the Bambino, the Curse of the Billy Goat, the Curse of Billy Penn, and Coogan's Bluff be lifted in more recent years. But what about the curse of Bobby Layne, Billy Walton, or Rocky Colavito? We'll discuss all those & more in this video!

Well, I guess the Rangers saw this video and decided to do something about that.
What's the most cursed team in sports?

As a Washington Wizards fan, not making a single conference finals since 1978 alone should've gotten us into this video

[DJ_Drakon]

I feel like the Lions also have the distinction of being on the losing end of an unbelievable amount of bad calls from officials. Several of which have outright lost them the game or a chance in the playoffs altogether.

[AgentVolkat]

I'm not a baseball fan, but as a lifelong Washington resident, I applaud the Mariners die-hards that stick with the team year after year.

[bizzle]

Being a life long Canucks and Vikings diehard has definitely been heartbreaking. It's aged me for sure.

[uwchamps]

Man, the Brewers aren't even good enough to be cursed. It's a hard life when your team is irrelevant.

[marklittle]

As a Leaf fan, it was painful to have all this shown to me again. You could also mention in the late 90's Gretzky was a free agent and wanted to come to Toronto. He would have taken less. The owner at the time Steve Stavro (a friend of Ballard) said since Maple Leaf Gardens was packed every game, they didn't need Gretzky to sell more tickets. With owners after Ballard making stupid calls based mainly on maintaining a bottom line, it is painful being a Leaf fan

The Angels have had the same season since like 2017: start off hot in April as one of the best teams in the AL, fall off by June, get basically eliminated in early September, then get hot too late, win like 75 games, and then have Trout or Ohtani be an MVP finalist

[arcticphoenix]

As a Brewers fan, pain and choking is in our DNA.

1982- Lose World Series to the Cardinals
1987- Win first 13 games in a row and 20 out of their first 23, only to finish 91-71, 7 spots out of a playoff spot
Jobber team in the 90s
Made one playoff appearance between 1982 and 2011 (2008 NLDS, Phillies won the World Series)
Lost 2011 NLCS to a Cardinals team who rallied back in the last month of the season (That team won the World Series)
Missed playoffs in 2014 after leading the division all season until the final month
Lost NLCS in 7 to the Dodgers after clinching the top seed in the NL
Choking away NL Wild Card to the Nationals in 2019 (That team won the World Series)
Doormat for the 2020 Dodgers (Who won the World Series)
Lost in 4 games to the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS in 2021 (Like I need to say that phrase again)
Missed out on the playoffs by a game in 2022 (Phillies made the World Series)

The Brewers are a team either choke in epic fashion or fall short against teams who made the World Series or in most instances, won the World Series.

[MilkJill-xchd]

I don’t know how the mariners aren’t on this list, the 2001 team, and ofc never having been to a World Series

[gbr]

Honestly, without the Twins two rings, you could say we have the worst luck of any damn state.

In fact, if you made a video on Minnesota sports misery, it might be cathartic for all of us.

You've got my sub!

[patricksilva]

I feel like the bills should’ve been in the conversation! 4 YEARS IN A ROW SUPER BOWL LOSSES!!! Crazy

[zedoggie]

The New York Jets are cursed in such a disappointing, embarrassing, and unpopular way that they didn't even make this video. They are cursed in a way where they are good enough not to be recognized as legendary cursed franchise but bad enough to cause their fans horrendous pain.

[MisfortuneDark]

I feel like had it not been for us finally ending the legacy of failure in the 2023 NBA Finals, The Nuggets would've definitely been a perfect fit for this video

Up until this year we had the most playoff appearances of any team in the league that didn't make the finals and we had to wait 47 years to even make it to the big dance and before that we've had plenty of heartbreak

where to begin?

-becoming the first team to lose a playoff series to the Clippers since they've moved to LA
-losing out on drafting Lebron James
-Blew a lead in Game 6 of the 1986 Conference Semifinals against Houston that could've forced a game 7
-Losing to Minnesota to miss the playoffs in game 82 of the 2017-2018 season ending their drought
-blowing a lead to lose Game 7 against the Trailblazers in the 2018-2019 conference semifinals
-constant injuries ruining our chances to make a deep run in 2021 and 2022
-the constant loses to the Lakers in the playoffs until this year with 3 of them coming in our 5 WCF appearances
-Basically wasted the talents of Alex English, Dikembe Mutombo, Carmelo Anthony, etc

Thank god for Nikola Jokic managing to finally bring a championship to this city after all these years

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Mariners, who are the only MLB team to never even make it to the World Series. They had an abundance of talent in the 90s/early 2000s and fell short every time, mostly to those damn Yankees.

Also as a Sharks fan who started following the team (and hockey in general) in 2019, life has been pretty rough 😔

[relser]

You could absolutely have thrown in the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers into the NFL debate as a 4th option. How can a team compete in such big appealing markets and have so much good talent go through town and still not have much to show for it??

[Anthony_Stuart]

As a sports fan in Atlanta I feel like you could make a part 2 without leaving this state

[Mattyman]

I am a Rangers and Knicks fan. Agony is a very close friend at this point.

[bubba]

"Don't worry, Buffalo, I'll get to you later" made me both chuckle and groan at the same time...

[coffeegrounds]

Vikings and White Sox fan here. Sox broke through in 05, which is all i had to hang my hat on but now they might move if they don't get a new stadium deal done
