Broke a Century-Long Losing Streak
The MLB is still a thing, despite its declining popularity in the US. However, the sports made headlines in 2016 when the Chicago Cubs finally won the World Series after more than a hundred years of being awful. Sorry, Cubs fans, but that’s a truth you need to swallow.
So, what happened since the last time the Cubs, originally known as the White Stockings, won in 1908? The Ottoman Empire collapsed, we went through two World Wars, we landed on the moon, the US ended segregation, 19 different US presidents sat in office, Curiosity landed on Mars, and Britain voted to leave the EU. By the time the Cubs win again, Britain will have actually left.
