Not surprisingly, Detroit still holds a place on an ABC News and Forbes Magazine list of “America’s 10 Most Miserable Cities.” While staggering unemployement, a lack of infrastructure, environmental justice issues, and the highest levels of segregation in the country might seems like viable reasons for such a ranking, ABC and Forbes instead listed these reasons:

No. 7 Detroit, Mich.

Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to four months in jail last year for his sex-and-text scandal. Tough year also for the state’s football teams, as the University of Michigan suffered through its first losing season in 40 years and the NFL’s Lions failed to win a game.

Apparently our football team now sucks so much that we can be blamed for the deeply entrenched issues plaguing the City of Detroit.  Way to go Michigan Football.  Way to go.
