| Sports |
| Chicago is also identified with many sports teams. It is one
of the few cities in the United States with two professional
baseball teams (Cubs, White Sox) plus professional football
(Bears), soccer (Fire), basketball (Bulls), and two professional
hockey teams (the Blackhawks and the minor-league Wolves). In
the early history of the city, sports were at the heart of some
founding legends. During the city's boomtown days local authorities
staged a dogfight, knowing that it would attract some of the
more unsavory characters on the town's crime scene. As soon
as the fight began, police moved in and arrested every criminal
and escorted them to the city borders. While the complete truth
of the story is sometimes doubted, it is important as an early
Chicago legend and does reflect the early days of sports in
the city. Early Chicago had only the most primitive of sports.
Until about 1850, men outnumbered women and this male-dominated
subculture encouraged gambling and drinking, as well as activities
such as billiards and horse racing. |
