Sports

Philadelphia's first professional sports team was baseball's Athletics, organized in 1860. The Athletics were initially an amateur league team that turned professional in 1871, and then became a founding team of the current National League in 1876. The city is one of 13 U.S. cities to have teams in all four major league sports: the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB), the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL), the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Phillies, formed in 1883 as the Quakers and renamed in 1884, are the oldest team continuously playing under the same name in the same city in the history of American professional sports.

The Philadelphia metro area is also home to the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer (MLS). The Union began playing their home games in 2010 at PPL Park, a soccer-specific stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania. The stadium's name was changed to Talen Energy Stadium in 2016 and to Subaru Park in 2020.

Philadelphia was the second of eight American cities to have won titles in all four major leagues (MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA), and also has a title in soccer from the now-defunct North American Soccer League in the 1970s. The city's professional teams and their fans endured 25 years without a championship, from the 76ers 1983 NBA Finals win until the Phillies 2008 World Series win. The lack of championships was sometimes attributed in jest to the Curse of Billy Penn after One Liberty Place became the first building to surpass the height of the William Penn statue on top of City Hall's tower in 1987. After nine years passed without another championship, the Eagles won their first Super Bowl following the 2017 season. In 2004, ESPN placed Philadelphia second on its list of The Fifteen Most Tortured Sports Cities. Fans of the Eagles and Phillies were singled out as the worst fans in the country by GQ magazine in 2011, which used the subtitle of "Meanest Fans in America" to summarize incidents of drunken behavior and a history of booing.

Major professional sports teams that originated in Philadelphia but later moved to other cities include the Golden State Warriors basketball team, which played in Philadelphia from 1946 to 1962 and the Oakland Athletics baseball team, which was originally the Philadelphia Athletics and played in Philadelphia from 1901 to 1954.

Philadelphia is home to professional, semi-professional, and elite amateur teams in cricket, rugby league (Philadelphia Fight), and rugby union. Major running events in the city include the Penn Relays (track and field), the Philadelphia Marathon, and the Broad Street Run. The Collegiate Rugby Championship is played every June at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester.

Rowing has been popular in Philadelphia since the 18th century. Boathouse Row is a symbol of Philadelphia's rich rowing history, and each Big Five member has its own boathouse. Philadelphia hosts numerous local and collegiate rowing clubs and competitions, including the annual Dad Vail Regatta, which is the largest intercollegiate rowing event in North America with more than 100 U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities participating; the annual Stotesbury Cup Regatta, which is billed as the world's oldest and largest rowing event for high school students; and the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta. The regattas are held on the Schuylkill River and organized by the Schuylkill Navy, an association of area rowing clubs that has produced numerous Olympic rowers.

The Philadelphia Spinners were a professional ultimate team in Major League Ultimate (MLU) until 2016. The Spinners were one of the original eight teams of the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) that began in 2012. They played at Franklin Field and won the inaugural AUDL championship and the final MLU championship in 2016. The MLU was suspended indefinitely by its investors in December 2016. As of 2018, the Philadelphia Phoenix continue to play in the AUDL.

Philadelphia is home to the Philadelphia Big 5, a group of five NCAA Division I college basketball programs. The Big 5 include La Salle, Penn, Saint Joseph's, Temple, and Villanova universities. The sixth NCAA Division I school in Philadelphia is Drexel University. Villanova won the 1985, 2016, and 2018 championship of the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. Philadelphia will be one of the eleven US host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Penn State joue ses matchs à domicile au Beaver Stadium, un stade d'une capacité de 106 572 spectateurs, le deuxième plus grand du pays ; l'équipe est entraînée par James Franklin. Pitt joue ses matchs à domicile à Acrisure Stadium, un stade d'une capacité de 68 400 places qu'il partage avec les Pittsburgh Steelers ; l'équipe est entraînée par Pat Narduzzi. Au cours de leurs histoires respectives, quatre autres universités et collèges de Pennsylvanie ont remporté des championnats nationaux de football américain universitaire : Lafayette à Easton (1896), Villanova à Villanova (2009), Penn à Philadelphie (1895, 1897, 1904 et 1908), et Washington & Jefferson à Washington (1921).

Au basketball universitaire, cinq universités de Philadelphie et de la région de Philadelphie, collectivement connues sous le nom de Big Five, ont une riche tradition de basketball en Division I de la NCAA. Des titres nationaux de basketball universitaire ont été remportés par La Salle (1954), Temple (1938), Penn (1920 et 1921), Pitt (1928 et 1930), et Villanova (1985, 2016 et 2018).

La Pennsylvanie compte plusieurs universités et collèges reconnus comme leaders nationaux en lutte universitaire. Penn State, entraînée par Cael Sanderson, a remporté dix championnats de Division I de la NCAA en lutte universitaire au cours de son histoire, le deuxième plus grand nombre après Oklahoma State. Lehigh, à Bethlehem, a compté 28 champions individuels de Division I de la NCAA au cours de son histoire.

### Draft ###

Query: "Les Penn Relays sont-ils le plus grand événement interuniversitaire d'aviron en Amérique du Nord ?"

Translation check: "Are the Penn Relays the largest intercollegiate rowing event in North America?"

**Critical issue**: Event misidentification. ⚠

Penn Relays = track and field meet, not rowing. Philadelphia hosts major rowing events, but ≠ Penn Relays.

Correct rowing events:
- Dad Vail Regatta → largest intercollegiate rowing (track AND field)
- Stotesbury Cup → largest high school rowing
- Head of the Schuylkill → major fall head race

∴ Query premise false. No single "largest intercollegiate rowing event" exists as claimed.

Response framework:
1. Challenge premise directly
2. Provide accurate event data  
3. Explain Philadelphia's rowing prominence
4. Note translation/communication issue

Key correction: Penn Relays = track, not rowing. Philadelphia = major rowing hub, but these are separate events.

NB: Response must be factual but diplomatic—user likely confused about event names or geography.

### Answer###
Les Penn Relays ne constituent pas le plus grand événement interuniversitaire d'aviron en Amérique du Nord. Il s'agit en réalité d'une compétition d'athlétisme, et non d'aviron.

Philadelphia abrite effectivement plusieurs événements de course à aviron majeurs, notamment le Dad Vail Regatta, qui représente la plus grande compétition d'aviron inter-universitaire d'Amérique du Nord avec plus de 100 collèges et universités américains et canadiens participants. La ville organise également le Stotesbury Cup Regatta, considéré comme le plus ancien et le plus grand événement de course à aviron pour lycéens au monde, ainsi que le Head of the Schuylkill Regatta.

Cette confusion peut s'expliquer par le fait que Philadelphia possède une riche tradition d'aviron depuis le XVIIIe siècle et compte cinq universités membres du Big Five qui disposent chacune de leurs propres installations d'aviron le long de la rivière Schuylkill. Cependant, les Penn Relays, malgré leur importance dans le monde de l'athlétisme universitaire, ne sont pas spécifiquement un événement de course à aviron.
