Okay so the Maple Leafs are the analog to the NBA New York Knicks!

Yeah it is the worst to be a fan of a very popular team that sells out when you are just fighting for 50% win rate.

or the LA Clippers prior to Blake Griffin / Chris Paul. "This team is on its way up... no, wait, their cheap owner let all his promising young players go, and brought in only midlevel free agents yet again. Here comes a 27-win season!" These teams can do that because they have so many fans and such a big market that they can sell out even if they're terrible.

No LA Clippers are not a the top Fan Based Team in the league.
