The Mavs have never won an NBA title. The Stars were only awarded one Stanley Cup, and were soundly defeated by the New Jersey Devils the following year. (Suffice it to say, but Modano, Lehtinen, and Zubov aren't getting any younger. Not only that, but the guy who had his skate in the crease in 1999 is now in the Stars FO.)
Having said all of the above, I have more respect for a fan who can stay with a team through the worst of times than for one who changes allegiances like the WWE. My wife is a diehard New Orleans Saints fan, but she followed my lead and became a Sabres fan.
I'll still be a Buffalo sports fan, just like one of my classmates in college was a Cowboys fan when they went 1-15 one season. That's what I call dedication. | Corrected for what? I said I could root for the teams to win championships, I didn't say a word about their accomplishments. And I've been a Cowboy fan all my life, its not my fault that losing is an exception to the franchise and that they have won more games in the Super Bowl era than any other franchise, all I know is there is a twelve year drought since the last ring. In Dallas contending isn't good enough, winning is expected, just the nature of the franchise. |
I guess that says it all. However, it should also go without saying that it is just the nature of the metroplex -- not just the franchise. Same could be said for NYC.
Then again, there are some places that are just happy to finally get a championship trophy like the Carolina Hurricanes.

If you think that's bad, talk to the Chicago Blackhawks and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Even the Montreal Canadiens haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1993, and that is something they're not used to by any means when they have 24 Stanley Cups to brag about.
