Links: ESPN Ranks Washington Wizards' Fan Relations As The Worst In Pro Sports

ESPN is dumb links:

• ESPN the Magazine ranks the Wizards' "fan relations" as the worst in pro sports. Not just the NBA, but worst out of 122 professional teams. Yep. They also finished 90th in "Ownership," while the Caps ranked 13th, which is weird since the teams' owners are kind of the same person. Oh, and evidently the Nats (you know, that first-place baseball team with a stadium in Southeast D.C.) aren't part of the D.C. market, but the Ravens and Orioles are. So yea, feel free to completely ignore these rankings. [ESPN the Mag Ultimate Team Standings | D.C. Sports Bog | SB Nation DC]
