The San Diego sports curse is a superstition cited for the city of San Diego's inability to claim a modern North American major league professional sports championship (Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals). With a population of over one million, San Diego is the largest city in the United States with this distinction. San Diego also has the distinction of having the longest major league championship drought for any city that has at least two major sports franchises, the last title dating back to 1963. The San Diego teams with losing records during their tenure in the city are the Padres (2,886 wins-3,330 losses), the Clippers (186 wins-306 losses), and Rockets (119 wins-209 losses). Only the Chargers, at 398-394-11 through December 30, 2012, have a winning record during their tenure in the city.

By sucking at the dugs of Greece.”
