The Sox being forgotten and ignored over the last 10 or so years has been self-inflicted, but the way ESPN constantly disregards the team pre-dates the current franchise problems.

Berman gave a more wholehearted congrats to the Red Sox when our Sox sealed the series. It was pathetic. ESPN can suck a boner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox being forgotten and ignored over the last 10 or so years has been self-inflicted, but the way ESPN constantly disregards the team pre-dates the current franchise problems. Exactly correct, I wrote a story about this back in the day. One example, remember back in 2006 when ESPN was running a poll for each professional city asking who was the most popular franchise in it. For Chicago where the Sox had just won the World Series and the Blackhawks were not very good they listed four teams you could vote for: Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks. That cause Scott Reifert, Sox VP to say, "ESPN is just mad because we eliminated their Red Sox..." And Berman after the 2003 All-Star Game ripped Sox fans for booing Cub, Twins and Indians representatives, he did it during an interview with a Connecticut TV station (he appeared to be drunk at the time). He said Sox fans were the worst in baseball. Yet next year in Houston when Astro fans were booing including their own manager who was there, he said nothing. I'll have to pull that column I did from the files to find the other examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Mehh when you have an owner that actively doesn’t care about the team you can’t expect the rest of the country to. I too often wish I could pretend like the White Sox don’t exist 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too often wish I could pretend like the White Sox don’t exist I get your point but this is a professional media organization. What an individual owner does or does not do has no bearing on the preparation and job they are supposed to be doing. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Quote “I remember being on TV when we had Danny Mendick as Danny Medwick, I think it was. I was looking at it, and I was like, ‘No, that’s wrong! No! No, not the White Sox!'” This quote is great. Love Passan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
