Reply to comment by spaceheatr in Ask Dan Snyder why DC is the first host capitol city since 1974 (and the 2nd time ever) not to host a World Cup match!! by efthfj

DC isn't a sports town (compared to Boston, Philly, Chicago, Cleveland, etc. it's not I'm sorry). But we do have world-class public spaces and museums. I hope they turn RFK into another park with event space (like Wolf Trap).

What makes a sports town? DC was fanatical about the Nats and Caps when they won titles.

The Browns were selling out games when they were 0-16. DC is too corporate/transplant/transient to support bad teams like that. I don't even know if there's a sports bar in my neighborhood.

Dc was a sports town through the 90s. All we needed to see was the rg3 blip years to know it’s just lying dormant.
