sox-r-us Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 If you replace Boston with Chicago, and the Bo Sox with either the Cubs or the White Sox, the post below still rings true. Fans of these 3 franchises have endured a lot for a long time, but as the below post shows, we made a choice and we stand by it. It is a very good post. Enjoy it..... ------------------ Here we are Boston Redsox fans in a place we all know all to well. No need to elaborate, no need to whine, no need to respond to the taunts and jeers of those who, if they were true fans wouldn't be here just to add insult to injury. No need for coulda shoulda woulda, just take it and hold your heads up high, for being a Boston Redsox fan is not a choice, it is, after all, a matter of loyalty. Loyal to our home team, no matter what. Being true to something that is embedded in our hearts is nothing to be taken lightly, it is something to be proud of, no matter what the end result. We all know someone who is a fan of the other teams, be it the Yankees or Atlanta or some other club, that was born here in the Boston area yet somehow has a need to be a fan of another team. These few are the unfortunate ones, they have deep psychological issues. They have a hole in their soul, and feel so inferior they grasp on to something, like baseball, and CHOOSE to become a fan of the club with the best record instead of being wholistic and having real pride and loyalty and staying with the team that is their HOME team. They are constitutionally incapable of taking it like an adult and just sticking it out NO MATTER WHAT and not make excuses. Win or lose, true Boston fans are the most loyal bar none. Nothing against Yankees fans, that is, TRUE yankees fans, meaning people from New York, not people who for some mind sickness NEED to be associated with a record that has been set for many years before they were even born. Inside the mind of someone like this is a sad timid little creature who just can't stand tall in defeat, it hurts them too much and they just can't take it. They latch on and ride the train cheering and shouting and saying "Look at me, I'm a winner too"! They need this to feel good about themselves and it is a sorry state to be in psychologically. The worst of these miserable creatures are the ones who come here to taunt and jeer the TRUE loyal fans instead of just being happy that their team of CHOICE, has won. Stand tall Boston fans, and don't respond to the poor unfortunates who aren't from NY nor have any connection with NY other than their own feelings of inferiority and desperate need to feel something positive in their lives. Tough, brave Boston fans, loyal and true, stand tall and never let them get you to sink to their level. We KNOW the TRUTH and NO ONE will EVER break us no matter what they say or do. Solidarity Boston fans and brotherhood to us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 The only problem with that is that most Cub fans ACCEPT the Cubs being losers. No Sox fans, either team, will ever accept losing. Stick with the team? Yes. Accept mediocrity or worse? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Sox fans, either team, will ever accept losing. Stick with the team? Yes. Accept mediocrity or worse? No. They're proud of their mediocrity. They revel in it. Morons.

SuperSteve Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 That is a true post, but it is different in Chicago, with the two teams. We have our loyalty to part of the city. I think it is harder being a White Sox fan than a Red Sox or Cubs fan. They have been doing well in the playoffs, while we are second billing in our town. The only other team that relates to us right now is really the Mets. They are second billing in their town aswell, but thay have had success not too long ago. I agree fully with his post on fan loyalty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Actually the Angels are kind of in the same boat that we are with the Dodgers. They are in the same market, and are the red headed step child of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
