Cincinnati, Ohio has been referred to names such as the Queen City, The City of Seven Hills and even Porkopolis to name a couple. Cincinnati psychologists say that it is a smaller sized Midwestern city situated right on the Ohio River and although conservative in many ways, their outgoing and spirited support of sports is absolutely exuded. Cincinnati is home to two professional sports teams, according to Cincinnati psychiatrists and quite a few college teams that are closely followed too. The majority of the preferred sports here are the old tried and true ones of football, basketball and baseball and this article will look into some of those teams.
The Cincinnati Bengals is the professional football team here and the Paul Brown Stadium is a newly built stadium located along the Ohio river and was listed as America’s top 150 buildings and structures and just Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium rates higher. Marvin Lewis is the head coach and some of the fan favorite players on the team are Chad Johnson who is almost as well known for legally changing his last name to his jersey number, Ochocinco and Carson Palmer. The Bengals had a successful 2009 as the AFC north Champions and only last week lost to the NJ Jets during the playoffs.
The other professional athletic team in Cincinnati is the baseball team known as the Cincinnati Reds. They have the historical advantage of being the oldest professional baseball team that dates back to 1869 when they were first known as the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The Reds are remembered for their homerun hitter, Johnny Bench and the gambling scandals of former player and manager, Pete Rose. They play at the Great American Ballpark which is also situated directly on the Ohio River where a lot of fans will anchor their boats during the summer and try to catch a free seat to the game. The present manager of the Reds is Dusty Baker and they continually dream to someday recreate the same type of team as the Big Red machine of the 1970’s.
Cincinnati doesn’t have a professional basketball team as the Cleveland Cavaliers is the only NBA team in the state of Ohio. They do however, have quite a few colleges that have some very good basketball teams to cheer on. Two of the biggest fan favorites for college basketballis University of Cincinnati and Xavier which also have quite a rivalry between them. A couple of years back,
Xavier had a very successful team and as a result of that, their head coach was recruited by the bigger Arizona where he now coaches. Not only do these colleges programs draw big crowds in Cincinnati but high school basketball games do too.
Although it is not a city that many aspire to reside in, the people that do live in Cincinnati love it and are supportive of all things related to the city including their sports teams whether they win or lose.
Connor R. Sullivan recently contacted a group of Cincinnati psychiatrists to interview them for an article he is planning to write. He consulted with a group of Cincinnati psychologistsregarding disciplinary guidelines to use at his high school.
