It's not just the black-and-white numbers that made the year so miserable. The totality of the Chicago sports experience was dreadful. In 2024, fans of Chicago teams faced a barrage of disappointments across various sports, leaving many to wonder if this was the worst year in modern history for the city's athletic endeavors.
From the start of the baseball season, both the Cubs and the White Sox struggled to find their footing, with lackluster performances that saw them fall far behind in the standings. Meanwhile, the Bears continued their long-standing struggle for consistency, failing to make a significant impact in the NFL.
