The Chicago White Sox have hit an embarrassing low with their latest attendance, as their most recent game attracted just 17 people in the stands.

The Chicago Blackhawks once were the underdogs of Chicago sports, often finding their ranking as the weakest of the city's teams. Times have flipped. The Chicago Cubs broke their curse and won the World Series in 2016, but you'd think one of these teams was bound to stumble again, right? Not quite.
The Blackhawks, with Kyle Davidson, have one of the top prospect pools in the NHL. The Chicago White Sox, meanwhile, fall into laughable territory, with a 31-104 record on the season. Fans have no more interest in watching their team play, as only 17 fans showed up at their last home game. Yes, you heard that right, 17!

But despite this year's team struggling, it would seem owner Jerry Reinsdorf is more concerned about securing financing for a new stadium than he is with the on-field product. Classic case of misplaced priorities: instead of focusing on the present performance, all eyes are turned to future profits. Fans aren't happy with that mentality, which is why no one is going to games anymore. Maybe that will teach Jerry a lesson!
