Lance McAlister of WLW 700, discussed a New York Times article that ranked the top cursed teams by city. The article ranked Cincinnati at twelve and Cleveland at one. Cincinnati has two professional sports teams—the Bengals and the Reds. Although the locals cheer for the Bengals, the Reds have veteran status since they have been playing since 1869 (Cincinnati Red Stockings). 

The Bengals made their pro football debut on September 6, 1968.With the Bengals season over, local fans can look forward to a new baseball season. Unfortunately, the Reds don’t have a championship caliber team because they are rebuilding, which is a nice way of saying that fans shouldn’t expect a World Series Championship anytime soon. 

The Reds haven’t won a championship since 1990, and the Bengals have never won a championship. Although Cincinnati isn’t fielding world champions, they have had several close calls with greatness.
