The White Sox got left out of Chicago sports teams on ‘Wheel of Fortune’

Snubbed again ...

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

When it comes to the Chicago sports landscape, the poor White Sox often get totally forgotten. This happened again Tuesday night, this time on Wheel of Fortune.

The crossword-style puzzle was part of “Great American Cities” week on the show, and it featured every professional team in Chicago — well, except one. We can get all technical about this and say there wasn’t room to fit in “White Sox” as well, but let’s be real: This definitely feels like a slap in the face, even if it was unintentional.

The White Sox decided to try and fix things.

At least they were able to laugh about it.
