Detroit is the best because we are just better than anyone else by far we live and die with every snap dunk shot fight catch
even when the lions are so bad for so long we still sell out ford Field every game when the tigers and pistons were bad we still filled the arenas were ware out hearts on our sleeves for everyone to see that's why i am Detroit til i die

Detroit the best sports city? lol Never
Detroit is awful. The lions were like the worst team last year. The detroit pistons fans throw beers at the players. Not only do the teams have trouble winning but the fans have no class. I hear people in detroit are moving our left and right because crack heads go around steeling the copper plumbing out of houses up there. I feel for anyone who has to live in the hole. Detroit tigers. lol They will be lucky to finish 500 this year. Plus half the people on that team are felons.

Detroit's got the Pistons and Red Wings-2 consistently dominant teams-and it looks like the Tigers are back in business as well! And how about the Detroit Shock winning 2 WNBA championships in 4 years! Go Detroit!
And go Michigan in general! The Wolverines have the best program in the history of college football. The Spartans have one of the nations top basketball programs. And even Central Michigan football has got something going, as was proven by their MAC championship last year!
Michigan is just the best sports state, period!
It's a good thing we have sports, cause our state economy SUCKS!
By the way, to whoever the first answerer is, Michigan has won ELEVEN national championships in football:
1. 1901
2. 1902
3. 1903
4. 1904
5. 1918
6. 1923
7. 1932
8. 1933
9. 1947
10.1948
11.1997

New York, Boston, L.A., Chicago and I will also include Philly in there as well, those are the best sports towns, period!
Detroit...please, Red Wings and Pistons are both great organizations, the Tigers had a good season but failed to win their division and the World Series, and we won't even mention the Lions.

Lets see NY has the Yankees (most championships in the history of baseball), the Rangers (they have some stanley cups), the Nicks (championships there), Mets (championships there), the only bad sports teams in NY are the Giants and Jets.
LA does stink (but the dogers are good)
Chicago (lets see the Bulls and Whitesox aren't bad)
And well Detroit has the Red Wings and that's about it for domination of a sport. So I can't see how you can say Detroit is the greatest sports city in America. Sorry to say it but I would have to say as a sports fan that I would take NY as the best sports city in America.

Because Detroit is the bowels of America and absolutely nothing else going for it. Sports is the only possible ray of hope for the entire dismal population.
Unemployment is substancial and the industries that are the breadbasket of the area, the auto industries have raped the people, infrastructure and communities and then moved on. The housing market is burdened with almost 20% foreclosed homes and the biggest hope for the future in Detroit is the gambling industry.
If it wasn;lt for the Pistons, TIgers and College games, there would be mass suicide there. .

Oh.. please...the Detroit Tigers...how many championships? How many NCAA teams from detroit have won a title? The Detroit Lions are an embarrasment to your city, the Pacers/Piston Brawl?... I'll give you a couple Detroit Pistons championships and a great Hockey team.. but you need the Baseball, Football and NCAA teams to go with it. But..I'm from Indiana.. we barely count hockey as a pro sport here. You need to have a ball for a sport.
While I hate saying it because I hate New England.. Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, New England Patriots.. New Englands got ya beat...

St. Louis, anyone? All I hear about is the F'n Yankees and all their titles, blah blah...Newsflash, unless you are from NY everyone hates the Yankees!! Take a trip to St. Louis, go see the Blues, Rams and especially the Cardinals play and you will know you are in the best sports city in America.
