Right, and there will be exceptions, but I don't think there is any denying what I said is accurate for the majority

Oh, get off your damned high horse. It's just meant to be funny. Why? Because it is really funny. And it plays into all of the Sox fan stereotypes about mullets and Trans Ams.

Do you know who looks foolish here? The overly sensitive guy from Charlotte getting defensive.

I think its more of a beating a dead horse issue then me being on a high horse.

And I don't see how challenging a poor arguement is being sensitive, nonetheless overly.

So lookout, what's so funny to you about painting with a broad brush?

I'm from Roscoe Village fwiw, not from Charlotte.

I am a Cubs fan, and I also voted neither are that bad. I think both Cubs and Sox fans tend to believe that the other team's fan base is represented by their respective worst specimens. Although there is a portion of the White Sox fan base that I am genuinely annoyed by, I think the majority of Sox fans are actually quite similar to us, they just happened to grow up south of the Ike (or Reagan) and like their team. The rivalry is fun, but beating out the Brewers and Cardinals is more important.

The ticker tape parade was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. It is imprinted in my memory forever. Too bad the microphones broke when at the end of the route and noone could hear anything.

Well, youre in Charlotte now. You disliked Chicago so much that you moved away to some God-forsaken sunbelt city with no baseball team so you have to pop on here and bash Cubs fans? Sorry, doesnt make much sense to me. Go watch NASCAR or something else that Charlotte does well.
