Championship Droughts

This is broken into two sections: droughts by teams who have won a league title, and droughts by teams who have never won a league title.

There are only 10 active teams who have won a league title and only 2 active teams who have never won a league title. 

Droughts for teams who have won a title (Active teams)

"A/O" field means Active or Over. For this, this field will be Active, meaning the drought is currently active. "Last title" indicates when the franchise won their last title. "Current year" is the current playoff year.
