…Unless the respective team has won at least one championship, it has no claim on being the city’s team. So, I think that distinction belongs to the Redskins no?

—-Is Still a Bullets Town, Right ? DCUnited Has The Most Titles, I Think. Can We All Agree That TheHogDays Of The Redskins’ Supremacy Is Over…? I Voted Caps, Love Me Some Ovie !!!

—-Redskin’s or Redskins’…ed.???

i cannot vote for the Nats or Caps in this poll. this was, is and forever shall be the Redskins’ town unfortunately. not even Dan Snyder and Vinnie Cerrato’s ineptness has been able to kill it.

the Nats fan base is not where it needs to be. the team does a lousy job marketing and advertising. the scare tacticts last season about taking the metro were beyond deplorable, causing so many people to stay away altogether. rich people don’t take public transportation! the expensive seats were hardly filled. do the math.

as for the Caps, there’s an extremely loyal, utterly rabid fan base—of about 19,000 people. it’s the same people that go every single game. but if you walk down the street in DC and ask 10 people who their favorite DC team is, more people are still gonna answer “Georgetown basketball” than the Caps. but more folks know and are aware of the Caps because a) their marketing is excellent and b) they are good.

by the way, if you like the Caps, feel free to visit Caps News Network, one of the many quality Caps blogs in town. i know the guy that writes over there pretty well :-)

This is undoubtedly a Redskins town. Whoever happens to be #2 at a given time is usually there because they’re a winner. People around here get passionate for the Redskins, and besides that, it’s a bunch of bandwagon-hopping.

Right now, the Caps are probably #2, but the Wizards do hold a natural advantage.

The Nats are #4 right now, but they can become big if they start winning. You can tell that this area WANTS to embrace them, but they’re such losers right now, and not in a lovable way.
