NY sports’ misery in the 2010s is worse than you think

So it turns out we weren’t dreaming after all. It turns out that when we turn the lights out on 2019 — and, thus, the decade of the twenty-teens — we will be leaving behind the worst sporting decade we’ve ever known in New York City.

And it isn’t particularly close.

Now, your first reaction to this news may be something along the line of, “No s–t, Sherlock,” because it probably feels like every time you go to a game the home team loses. Anecdotal evidence when it comes to this subject is pretty compelling. Our teams lose a lot, and have done that for years.
