Q: Why doesn't Johnstown, PA have a professional baseball team?
A: Because if they did, Pittsburgh would want one too.

Pittsburgh will win the NBA title before they win a World Series......yes, I know they don't have a basketball team, that's the point!

They have one made guy who is near 90.

Are there connected guys who do gambling? Sure.

But to have a mob you'd need to have some kind of structure and addition as opposed to subtraction of members and some young blood. Even if that youngblood is 50 as opposed to 85.

They have none of that. Their last induction was in the late 80s or really early 90s.

It's been subtraction ever since.

They still have younger guy to this day although it’s disputed if there’s any family or just remnants, however the younger guys are there..
Same with Pittsburgh...there have been many busts since the demise of the family that are related to gambling involving former associates.
Ya but what I’m trying to say is KC imo always had more structure even up until more recently, and they made more guys. I guess it depends on the boss ect
In your opinion? Do you have any solid info to back that up? I'm not trying to be an asshole, but KC has been dying forever and it is highly debated.

Fuck the NBA, a bunch of zoo animals filing bankruptcy within 5 years of retirement. Pirates and Steelers were legendary
