The Golden Local "Chicago's Best Baseball fans"

NBC5 is doing this competition to see who has the best fans in baseball. I saw this on the news and thought there's no way The Cubs would lose this, there are a lot more Cubs fans than there are Sox.. but they are losing.. I'm not posting this to rally votes or anything just bringing it to people attention.

It's ok if you're trying to rally the vote

This is a just cause.

Chicago Cubs Rumors and News

yeah but

it doesnt really prove anything.. look at what all the Sox fans are saying about Cubs fans.. Things like we are racists and other idiotic things.. Also they all are saying they are Sox fans because of 2005 ha.

Don't need a silly poll....

to prove what everyone in the world knows. Chicago is Cubs Country….always has been, is now, and always will be. Not only Chicago, but Cubs Nation is worldwide. If Sox fans want to recite the tired argument that Cub fans just go to Wrigley to party and only care about the ballpark, look at our road attendance, and Spring Training attendance. The Cubs ARE baseball.

I've always resented the assertion

that Cub fans are only there to party, as if not a drop of alcohol is spilled or consumed at the Cell.

We can’t tailgate at Wrigley, can’t go to the Fan Deck, can’t do the fun-da-mentals thingy, can’t stroll the spacious food concourse, among other things. Watching the game is all there is to do at Wrigley. So what if beer is sold and consumed? You’d think we invented it or something.

That argument is more than tired. It’s mind-numbingly stupid.

During the 1970’s Comiskey Park was known as “the city’s biggest outdoor beer garden”.

It's simply a way to minimize our loyalty....

since we make them look bad by outdrawing them in huge numbers every year not only at home, but who the hell goes to see the Sox play on the road? Bottom line is, it’s an argument that they have, so they use it, no facts needed. : )
