The Hawks at least made the playoffs, and the Knicks are still a laughing-stock. I can't say I agree with that list.
 
It looks like they're evaluating based on the last 10-15 years. That's why Knicks didn't make it.
 
The Twins? A team that has made the playoffs something like 4 of the last 6 years? They are leading their division this year as well! Oh well, I am a little biased.

No, the Hawks traded for Abdur-Rahim, and they gave up the rights to Gasol.
 
apparently, "pro sports" is american football, baseball and basketball. how biased can the american media and espn get ?

It's a FOX Sports article written for an American audience.
 
With that Wirtz dude dead, the Maple Leafs should be the first hockey team on there.
 
Two titles aside, the Florida Marlins should clearly be #1.
 
also, if you are rating over the past three years or so, the Rays should NOT be on this list. Yes, they used to be a misrun laughingstock, but no more. They are totally loaded with young talent--including minor-league prospects--and it is just a matter of time before they will put it together.

I might replace them with the Orioles, in fact, who have been just pitiful since Angelos took over, and totally atrocious in the five or six years since Ripken retired.

I agree Angelo. And ghoti can you tell me why there is a Fox Sports [en espanol] & [portugues] if its only for americans? I suggest you check the website and the channels before saying something else that sounds ignorant and stupid.

Too bad you couldn't save face and follow your own advice. The story is posted on the english version of the site under the MLB header. While Fox Sports offers media for international sports fans, not everything on the site is devoted to an international audience. Jesus...

Save face? Why? I checked the website and it is in spanish. And also i have the channel and they were talking about that topic " 10 worse teams" on Fox sports noticias es espanol. I admit it , i assumed it was on the website because i saw on the tele, but it wasnt so my BAD. But it wasnt only for american audiences obvioulsy because they talked about it on the spanish version of fox sports news.
 
hahaha I love how you're arguing between Spanish and American, as if the two can't be the same.

You do realize that Spanish is by far the 2nd most spoken language in the United States.

Just stop, your just digging yourself into a deeper hole than you already are in, and you're not coming out.

Talk about missing the point...

What we're both saying is that just because the language of the report, article, etc isn't in English doesn't make it any less American. The fact that you're arguing that Spanish denotes non-American would infer that you think so

I dont get what you are trying to say here

I said i saw on the tv i think last nite on fox sports noticias [ es espanol] And they were talking about this topic, so when i saw this thread i assumed it was on the website also. Thats why i said my bad.
Then i saw what ghoti said to angelo and that is why i reacted that way.

It's obviously tailored to an American audience. When it was shown in Spanish it was also being conveyed to an American audience.

I saw this report in spanish on FOX SPORTS NOTICIAS (NEWS) ES ESPANOL. Ok? Then i saw the link on this thread. Ok? Then i saw that ghoti said that it was only for the american audience. Ok? Which it wasnt because you can see fox sports en espanol in southamerica and in europe. You think Fox sports channels are only playing here? No.

ghoti didn't say that this was only for the american audience. He said it was FOR the american audience. It's as simple as that.

It's like a spanish soccer league story in English. It's for a spanish audience, but can be put into english to reach english speakers. I don't understand what you don't comprehend about this.
 
Typing in bold, or in caps, will not change the fact that you saw a program in Spanish that was broadcasted to parts of S. America or Europe (for all intents and purposes, since I'm going on your word) that was tailored to an American audience.

I agree with that.

See, I told you it was for an American audience. Wakka wakka!
