Now I'll start by saying i'm not much the liked figure on this board. HOWEVER I do admit this board obviously represents Sox fans well because like in real life, most Sox fans on this board are pretty damn smart. The reason most casual fans love the Cubbies is simple. In the world of sports fandom, like in life, casual means common and common means stupid. The average person, sports fan, whatever....is stupid. Only the extraordinary in life are smart, and thus a team that appeals to the common (stupid) like the Cubs always has been and always will be very popular. Your not stupid if your a Cubs fan, but you ARE a stupid BASEBALL fan if your a Cubs fan.
good point. anytime i go to a sox game and stand on the concourse i always end up talking baseball with other sox fans. i think like me a lot of sox fans get so pissed at these cub "fans" that dont know the first thing about baseball. i remember a specific conversation last year where these group of cub fans didnt even know who ryan howard or papelbon were. are you kidding me? so then yesterday i get i bunch of texts because they pulled another game out of their ass. your team isnt that good and i least we admit our team has issues that need to be adressed
