The Great Oklahoma Sports Team Census: You Can Count on One Hand (Almost)
Ah, Oklahoma. Land of windbreakers, wattles, and... well, maybe not a ton of professional sports teams. But hey, what we lack in quantity, we make up for in pure thunderous (see what I did there?) enthusiasm! So, how many pro teams are we talking about exactly? Buckle up, sports fans (or should I say "fan"?) because we're about to embark on a thrilling statistical journey (cue dramatic music... okay, maybe just some crickets chirping).

| How Many Professional Sports Teams Are In Oklahoma |
The Big Leagues (Except Not That Big)
The Oklahoma City Thunder: Our shining star, our pride and joy! This electrifying NBA team has been bringing the heat (and the slam dunks) to Oklahoma City since 2008. Russell Westbrook may be gone, but the Thunder spirit is alive and shocking (get it? shocking?) audiences with their talent.
So, that's one team, right? You got it! But wait, there's more (or maybe not, but let's be optimistic!)
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
The Underdogs We Love (Because They're All We Got)
The OKC Energy FC: Hold your horses, soccer fans! This USL Championship team is here to prove that fancy footwork and enthusiastic crowds can thrive in the Sooner State. They may not be David Beckham (although some fans might argue!), but they definitely bring their A-game.
So, that's two teams. We're on a roll, baby! ...Not really, but two is better than one, and hey, at least we have options, right?
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
The Not-So-Grand Finale (But We Still Love Our State!)
The Not-So-Long-Gone Teams: We all know Oklahoma isn't afraid to flirt with a little pro sports action. We had the Oklahoma City Blazers (RIP), the Tulsa Roughnecks (another RIP), and a few others that, well, let's just say they were here for a good time, not a long time.
So, the final tally? Two current teams and a handful of memories. But listen, who needs a ton of professional teams when you have the most passionate fans in the country? We bleed orange and blue (and maybe a little green for OKC Energy FC)!
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
