I think it's arguable.
Are the Bears the worst big market franchise in professional sports?

It’s a pretty close call between the Bears, the Bulls and the White Sox.

Which markets are we including? And yes, if they aren't #1, they are definitely at the top of that list.

They are on the list, but the Jets, Mets, Lions, Sacramento Kings, Knicks, Orioles, Marlins, Pirates, and insert NHL team here are above them.
That’s just off the top of my head.

Not even that. The Bears aren't even the worst run franchise in their own city. Or their own sport. Or their own division. The Bears are really just average, kinda mediocre but occasional bright spots, pro sports franchise.

I'll add the Texas Rangers to these other fine submissions.

Depends on how you define big market.
But any way you define big market, the answer is no.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did the OP ask to do this exercise by market size?

Phoenix is the 5th largest city now.
Cardinals are worse than the Bears overall. Coyotes have been bad...constantly rumored to be moving.

Even if they are, we're (Bears fans) still going to watch the games anyways. Gives us a reason to rip off our dicks & complain incessantly about trivial matters we have no control over. Bear Down!
