I kind of feel bad for the guy TBH. He has spent apparently decades of his life holding grudges against random strangers for not entertaining him enough, which he feels makes him a better "fan". I don't know what kind of response there is for that other than the same truths I keep trying to tell him. If you have time to be angry at complete strangers for decades, your priorities are out of whack. It doesn't make you a better fan, it makes you bitter and angry. I watch baseball because I enjoy the sport, and I enjoy the White Sox because of generational family traditions, the escape from daily life it brings me, and a joy of sport. I feel sad for people who don't get that. Especially if they do this for decades and feel nothing but anger and disappointment.
Every time this discussion comes up, the same guy comes into conversations which didn't even involve him to start name calling and raging about his way somehow being better. The anger issues are so prevalent over something that shouldn't be.
What does it say when you hate something so much, yet keep doing it? But, rinse and repeat. Sad is the only thing I feel.
