Let me start off with this statement. I want all of Washington’s sports teams to succeed and do well. No team’s fanbase is mutually exclusive from one another. That said, some teams are declining in popularity when they should otherwise be trending up. The Wizards unfortunately are in that very position. So let’s begin.
As most locals in the Washington, D.C. area can attest, the Wizards are clearly in fourth place among the “Big Four” professional sports teams in Washington.
The NFL’s Washington Redskins are the most popular team in D.C. even though they haven’t contended for a Super Bowl in nearly 30 years.
