Chicago Sports and Fitness

There is one thing that Chicago is known for above all others, and that is sports. Whether it is the recent World Series Champion Chicago White Sox, the dynasty of the Chicago Bulls, the Original Six team of the Chicago Blackhawks, or the loveable losers known as the Chicago Cubs, sports is big in Chicago.

Naturally, those that enjoy the sports of Chicago love to talk about sports. People will gather at parks, clubs, pubs, libraries, and even the sidewalk to talk about Chicago sport problems and triumphs. They will devise their own plans for how to get the Bulls winning again, get the Bears rolling, or the Blackhawks scoring. Sometimes you may not want to go out to talk to people about the sports in the city, or you may not know of anyone who may enjoy the sports of Chicago.

A number of hot topics have come from the Chicago Bears and their unique brand of fans or the long rivalry that they have had with some of the most dominant teams in the NFL. Even some of the former players of the Chicago Bears have elevated to a near mythical status with their odd nicknames and also their incredible approach to a sport that embraces the harsh winters and the brutality of the grin iron.

There are few that can forget the six time NBA Champion Chicago Bulls and their dynamic duo of MJ and Pippen. Both of these incredible figures were the focus of media attention and countless discussions by those that truly enjoy the sports of Chicago. Even the addition of Rodman brought forth a new nickname for the three key players and also for the dominance that they had in the league. In the final two runs for the Championship, as “Superman” (Jordan) and “Batman” (Pippen) took control of the games, it was “Rodman” (Rodman) that was able to confound and control Karl Malone and stem the offense of the Utah Jazz. Some may say that the duo and their couch found a way to bring out the best in an oddity in a professional sport.

Perhaps the one area of sports that has always been a focus in the media and also in Chicago has been the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs. There have been few cities that have two professional sports and there are even fewer that have had the rivalry that the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs have had. This has even been a focus on television shows and movies as the rivalry is one of legendary status.
