Well 40 years ago it was professional wrestling. Maybe not an actual sport mind you, but every week they did moon landing ratings on local TV for the wrestling show.
Now it is the Grizzlies.
Memphis is an odd sports town. They sort of kind of support the Grizzlies. And they sort of kind of, not so much, support the University of Memphis.
I think there are more SEC team fans in Memphis then there are fans of... well... Memphis. Memphis might be the best SEC city in the country in that you will find someone who cheers on any team and there really isn't something local to distract them.
