Ehh. . .not as bad as the record. . .the Skins had their glory years and the Bullets (I will never, ever call them the 'wizards') were NBA studs in the 70's. . .but the reason for the low ranking of sports suffering is because of DC sportsfans' constant habit of overrating their teams by a longshot. . .they're slightly delusional and not as passionate as they think they are (except Skins fans). . .plus, DC is simply too busy and interesting a town to really be that miserable in. . .just too much culture. . .

The basketball team has usually been at best pedestrian, yet they won a title in the 70's- there was a period when there were weird championship clubs like Golden State and Washington winning titles, the hockey team usually sucks. The Redskins have won some titles. The current baseball team, the ex-Expos, is not very good. The second Senators, who later became the Texas Rangers, had one flukish, overachieving winning year in 1969 but were pretty terrible otherwise. The original Washington Senators were bad for the most part, though contenders in the 20's and 30's, and they did win a Series and 2 pennants in that span. Not as bad as the St. Louis Browns, the Braves, the Red Sox in the 20's/ early 30's, or the Phillies from c. 1920-45, but usually bad despite having the man who is probably the most dominant hurler in MLB history in Walter Johnson for a long time. 19th century baseball clubs in Washington were even worse, and there's not much of a baseball legacy in the capital.

The old line about "first in war, first in peace, and last in the American League" has just been edited to encompass more sports.

The hockey team has been a perennial joke with a few bright moments of promise snatched away. The first incarnation MLB managed a single title and about 7000 second division finishes, the second incarnation was worse, and the current version is seeking fame as the worst franchise in baseball.

Only the NFL Redskins have had a measure of success, but they can't offset the conspirators in the other sports.
