What is the top sports city in the world?

Answer:

The best sports city in the world is probably a shocker to some people, but to me it is very simple. Columbus, Ohio is the best sports city for many reasons, and I will list a few.

The four words that come to mind when I hear the word sports are Passion, Pride, Success, and Diversity. I will admit that there are probably 100 better pro sports cities, but most cities don't have passionate fans at both the college and professional levels.

First, the diversity in Columbus in terms of sports. The Ohio State Buckeyes are the number one team in Columbus. The second is a tie with many teams. Columbus has three professional teams: the Columbus Clippers minor league baseball team, the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, and the Columbus Crew of the MLS. In addition, Columbus is close to many major cities and has many fans of the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals (NFL), Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians (MLB), and also the Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA).

The second thing that makes Columbus great is the passion. Passion is defined as a strong and barely controllable emotion. I have to tell you that in Columbus there is VERY strong emotion when it comes to sports. It is often said that the Ohio State football coach is the "true" governor of Ohio.

Within Columbus, the pride for Ohio State is unmatched. Walking down the street, it is common to see many people wearing a Buckeyes jersey. In addition, thousands of fans travel each week during football season to see the Buckeyes play on the road.

Lastly, success is very important in a sports city. Ohio State won the most recent Rose Bowl, and the Columbus Crew were named MLS champions just a few years ago. There are also many other championships in the history of the Reds and Indians.

Columbus is my favorite sports city, and the one that I think is the best in the world.
