FanNation - The Republic of Sport

I finally got to starting blogging. So here we go. This isnt a personal attack on any particular person, its more of a group thing. Sox fans are the most annoying fans ever. They seriously piss me off sometimes. I am a Cubs fan. I just want to put that out there. Throughout my entire life, and a lot earlier than that, there has been this revialry that has escalating into somehting more. Sox fans, who no doubt started the fight, have ridiculed the cubs for being a team with a big salary that hasnt won it for a while. All of the "Wrigleyville is the world's biggest gay bar," and the Sosa Cork Co., and the "Hack Wilson is a fat bum, screw him" and the coup de grah of them all, the "Havent since 1908." For a while, it was a reasonably fair fight. We each had our two world series rings. Sure, we had the 1908 label, but heh; they threw a world series, so the fight was at least within reason. Then tragedy struck. Throughout, history, there have been times when the good guys were dealt a devastating blow; The Pearl Harbor attack, the death of Dumbledore, basically every Disney movie, and the death of Christ. But nothing compares to what happened on the late night of some day in October 2005 (actually, Christ's cruxificion is way more important than this. you get the idea.) The Chicago White Sox had brought the world series trophy to Chicago. While all of the sox fans cheered, us cubs fans went our cellars and cried ourselves to sleep (or at least I did.) Going to school the next day, I was hoping the whole world series thing would resolve our differences and hopefully we could channel this positive attitude towards cheering for a World Series title for the other team in Chicago. What a crock of crap. It is now ten times worse. Ive gotten spat on now for wearing a cubs shirt. The old jokes mentioned at the beginning of this rant rose exponentially in there use in arguements. And a cubs sox arguement would always end with "we won the world series in 2005." the who's better arguements were essentially reduced to nothing (like the Ottoman Empire). for lack of a better example, it's like in a presidential election where they eliminated california, new york, and illinois from the electoral college. How can the democrats win now? (democrats being the cubs, in a totally non-political comparison.) Sox fans like to point out the flaws in everyone of our stars. like Zambrano. yeah, he's a little insane, but that's what makes him great. and soriano. this comes up a lot also; how we wasted 130 million of soriano. he's not that bad; we should get some use out of him, at least for a few years (knocks on wood). the common stereotype sox fans have against cubs fans is that we're all a bunch of rich businessmen who go to the games to get drunk. We may get drunk a lot, but we're merry when were drunk. when sox fans get drunk, there's a tendency for first base coaches to get physically attacked. also, cubs fans are usually pretty knowledgable about the game. Sox fans; well, let's put it this way; a sox fan could tell you not only who's playing the cubs at what time and where, but he could also name both starters. however, ask him who the sox are playing, and they wont rightly know. Also, sox fans are basically the biggest fair weather fans ever. there's a sports store that i live near. Prior to 2005, there wasnt much sox stuff in their, for it wouldnt sell. when they did win, sox jerseys were flying off the shelf (if you dont believe me, go to a sox game and look at the fans who have jerseys. 5 bucks 9 out of 10 were purchased after they stole, excuse me, won the world series (the ball was in the frickin mitt. AJ is a bush-leaguer. Couldnt except the guy struck him out; had to pull the crap that little leaguers do and run out on strike three. what a chicken-**** play.)) The Wrigley Field is the biggest gay bar. that's the most retarded insult ever, i dont know why they embrace that. it's basically declaring to chicago "Hey, we have the maturity level of a bunch of sixth graders.' They also have a bullen with that level of playing ability (oh...burn.) the point is our burns make sense "More drive-bys than line-drives" It's not really true, but it actually makes sense. Your's has the burn level equal to that of a your mom burn, which involve no creativity and are quite stupid. Also, why did you move out of nice historic comiskey park into the new shitey comiskey, im sorry US Cellular. you guys sold out. It used to be about the game. You changed, man. We still have historic wrigley field, where families can feel safe from getting shot while going to a game. My point is not to put down sox fans; its to stop them from putting down us. after all, they without a doubt started it. Please, Cubs fans are humans, too. Do you think we enjoy watching our team make all the wrong off-season moves? Do you think we enjoy to see our prized pitchers get injured or suck? do you think we enjoy to see the Tribune co. suck the soul out of our franchise? Hath not a cubs fan eyes? Hath he not hands, feelings, expressions, demensions? If we win, are we not happy? If we lose do we not cry? And if a sox fan wrong us, shall we not revenge? If thou so do in your actions, ours will follow the likewise. So, in short, we're human. Treat us like humans. And Cubs; please win one for the tinker. Make it a fair fight again.
