I mean, you bring up KC and Golden State, but if you had to name the most popular teams in those league, you’re not naming either of them despite the high profile stars and mountains of success.

Hell, go back and answer my first question: the Oilers have the biggest hockey star in the world and have been in back to back finals while the Leafs can’t get out of the second round. So why are the Leafs still more popular?
The Cowboys/Steelers still have more fans than the Chiefs, so the history-rich teams still have an advantage and more fanfare. I am just not so defeatist to think winning wouldn’t go a long way to curing some apathy in Calgary/bring in a new generation of fans.

Look at what Iggy and Kipper did and that team didn’t even win.
