I added you because of your fabulous Fred and Ginger stuff, hope you don't mind. :)
As for a team that sucks but people still love, The NY Mets are the major team where I live in Queens NY. I'm personally a Yankees fan, but there are RABID Mets fans who just can't let it go, no matter how bad the team does. It's a combination of nostalgia and Queens pride and anti-Yankees sentiment. So... the Mets aren't great but people are just nuts about them. Look up some stuff about them; once you get past the crazy "THE YANKEES ARE THE DEVILLLLL!" stuff, it's really some nice and proud stuff.
A team that sucks wouldn't make it to the playoffs, which is where they play for the pennant (which means they're the best in the league-- in the US there's the American and the National leagues and one team from each plays in the Series) that would qualify them for the World Series. A sucky team would win games on and off but never quite get to the championship games. Hope that helps!
