The Top Ten

1New York Yankees

The Yankees already had 18 WS Championships by the time the infant Cowboys came into existence. Manchester has more glittery trophies to show off, but that's because they play like 3 different tournaments a year; the Yankees have one chance in one year to get THE trophy. The Lakers don't even have the most titles in their own sport, and Montreal hasn't won anything in 20 years.

Yea 27 world series champions not champions of the world, only in america do pro sport teams when they win there sport consider them selves world champions ie baseball, basketball, of course they they say there world champions because they don't play anybody else

The 27 World Series wins puts the Yankees above all other pro sporting franchises in the world. Please keep in mind that the 53 titles won by Rangers FC are LEAGUE titles and NOT WORLD titles. Same goes for Real Madrid, whose 9 UEFA titles fall 18 short to the Yankees 27 WS.

2Manchester United Football Club

Anyone not saying Manchester United is an idiot. Dallas cowboys born in 1960's? so United or Newton Heath have a history dating back to 1878. They ARE the biggest value club in the world with over 330(est) million supporters worldwide.

Yankees name is known more but but that does not make them popular.

No one can argue that Manchester united are the richest club in the world its a fact proven by forbes. so this is really a stupid debate.

ARE you kidding, How is manchester united not the number one franchise! 19 titles, 11 FA Cup titles, 3 Champions League Wins, 5% of the world is in the fan base, Most value Franchise. Anyone who says Man U isn't the greatest franchise is just another hater

this decade belongs to manchester united

4San Francisco 49ers

5Los Angeles Lakers

Are you kidding me. Most popular nab team. They have legends. It those not care about the ring

best sport franchise of all time and will just get better with kOBE AND pAU

Best franchise of all time! no question. has produced 3 of the top 5 best basketball players of all time and they market well and don't spend double of what other franchises do to win (Yankees). Manchester should be disqualified because they are real football which is by far the most popular sport in the world. And the Cowboys should be disqualified because they are the NFL which just proves how stupid Americans are. Just wanting to be different and having a sport that no one else plays. Retarded

6Montreal Canadiens

dwarfs all others hockey franchises by a margin unrivaled in any sports league

adampowell

HABS are the best hockey franchise of all time, bar none. 24 Cups, 61 Hall-of-Fame inductees, 17 retired numbers, and millions of loyal fans worldwide!

Simple fact, 24 championships, beat that Broncos! Very obvious that this poll is answer by mainly narrow minded people, ie, Yanks

7Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers have the most Superbowl wins an amazing offense and has been representing for ages

8Green Bay Packers

Best fans in the world for the best team in the world.

Packers have won the most NFL Championships, they deserve to be ahead of the Cowboys.

fredthewaffle

With Football and American football being the 1st and 2nd most watched sport in the world, the best sports franchise has to be a team from one of these two sports. Therefore, the only real choices here are Manchester World Football Club, Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburg Steelers, and the Green Bay Packers.

But, I'm an American and I live in Wisconsin so the choice is a simple one.

30Los Angeles Dodgers

How can you not have Dodger Blue higher on this list knowing that they bring a rich tradition in sports history. They should be up there with the Yankees in terms of baseball generally speaking. Therefore, the Boys in Blue should be ranked higher no doubt.

31Liverpool FC

Pretty low ranking for one of the sports teams with one of the biggest world wide fan bases. Not to mention its history and the number of cups it has won. Don't forget they have won more European cups than any other English team. Manchester United are still playing catch up there, and have only just equaled Liverpool for league cups.

34FC Barcelona

Beaucoup de grand joueur ont jouer à l olympique de Marseille comme cantona ou Deschamps le joueur français ayant le plus beau palmarès

One of the best franchises ever. 4 straight stanley cup wins just 10 years after coming into the league. This is simply amazing. Also won 20 straight playoff series which is a record in all sports. The last dynasty that sports have ever seen
