Poverty Belt 

Poverty Belt is a growing term being used by people who live in the northeastern US to describe Central New York. Central New York is a geographical region of upstate New York which lies between the Catskill mountains and the Adirondacks. It is comprised of the cities Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Binghamton, Buffalo and Rochester (which is often referred to as Crotch-Chester). Common characteristics of this region which account for the name include scarcity of jobs, high unemployment, a shrinking population and a crumbling infrastructure. The "belt" part of the term comes from the way the aforementioned cities are horizontally situated close to the New York state thruway which runs from East to West through the middle part of the state.

Poverty franchise 

A scumbag team full of scumbag fans and players who only really care when in contention. A franchise who used to have glory but clearly has been out of the glory days for so long that half of their “fans” who cheer for their team three nights a year have no memory of the glory days because they’ve sucked for so long.

The New York Yankees are such a poverty franchise dude. It’s hilarious.
