Throughout the years, Chicago has been recognized as one of the world’s top sports cities. Not only has it been named best in the world three times by Sporting News, but the city has also been included in TSE’s international ranking of sport cities every year since 2012. Sports aren’t just fun to watch, but they can have a positive impact on communities. They can encourage kids to stay active and help raise money for a cause. In addition, sports have a positive effect on the economy. In 2010, sports generated $340 million for the New York City economy, while in 2013 sports generated 456,000 jobs.
Whether it is football, basketball, or even table tennis, Chicago has a variety of sports teams to watch. The city is home to a number of amateur sports teams as well as professional teams. This includes the Chicago Cubs, who help fund athletic programs throughout the city. The Chicago Bulls are one of the most popular teams in the city and you can follow them online or on local television stations to see them play.
Chicago is also home to the first Heisman Trophy winner, Jay Berwanger. The Bears and Blackhawks are two teams that have won the Stanley Cup in recent years. The Bears have been criticized for their bad starts to the 2014 season. However, fans are still very loyal to the team and they are always sold out at Soldier Field.
