I always wondered if there were more Bears fans or Cubs fans- not saying you can't be both but it seems that the Cubs over shadow most of America's sports teams?

Cubs, Hawks and Bears. Watch the Hawks become really popular thanks to all the bandwagon freaks. I almost hope the Hawks suck this year so I can once again get tickets to the games and not be surrounded by people who are absolutely clueless about hockey.

LETS GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care what anybody says. This city is a baseball town. The Cubs are the most popular team so I have to give them an edge. The Bears have the "most" fans simply because if you live in Chicago you support the Bears but I think a Cubs WS victory would be bigger than a Bears superbowl. I remember at the Bears superbowl party I was at the other year a Cubs vs. Sox arguement broke out during the game! That's how I know Chicago is a baseball town.

White Sox, Bears, Bulls. Never cared for the Cubs, and never will, and I've never followed hockey.

Steve-o, do you think you are the only true Chicago sports fan? Seriously, who made you the decider on who and who is not a true fan?

Oh, I voted Bears, White Sox, and Bulls (in that order). My earliest memories are of watching the White Sox at Comiskey Park (the only game our abnormally large family could afford to attend).

There does seem to be a lot of Hawks bandwagon fans. I guess you can put me in that category since I refused to support them when Dollar Bill was in charge. However, I do follow hockey and know the game quite well.

I know next to nothing about the Hawks and even less about the game of hockey itself. I've been to one Hawks game for a work function. I paid more attention to our clients and the free food than the game. Hockey bores the heck out of me. Maybe if they make it to the playoffs, I'll go to more games and buy a jersey just **** off Steve-O. (j/k)

What is it today with jagof, er, nevermind.

First off, I never said that or implied that, did I? Im just pissed off that I cant get a doggone ticket to any games I want to attend because most tickets have been sold to bandwagoners and thats OBVIOUS. Where were these "fans" the last few years when we sucked royal a$$? Hmm????? Second off, its pretty fu*kin obvious when youre at the United Center last year and there were, on average, 10-12,000 fans a night and now all of a sudden there is a entire sea of brand spankin new Reebok Edge jerseys with the #'s 88 or 19 on the back, and theyre just absolutely clueless about the game. Im glad that the Hawks are doing well and will hopefully see black ink this year, but if this bandwagoner crap keeps up much longer I wont be able to attend any games that I want because theyve all been sold out to people who dont really give a sh*t.

White Sox: Always have been a fan. They never have a bad team (compared to teams like the cubs). All throughout the 90's they were competitive and had some of the best players in the game (The Big Hurt, Albert Belle, Jamie Navarro, Jack McDowell, Robin Ventura, etc.) They always led baseball in HR's and that trend continues today. They are super fun to watch plus I can drive to the Cell in about 15 minutes which just makes being a Sox fan that much more fun. They have the best logo in sports and the coolest colors (black, grey, and white).

Bulls: Always have been a fan. I grew up with MJ's Bulls. And to this day I support them even though they have been sissy boys...that is until they landed Derrick Rose. He brings fire to the team and I fully expect them to imrpove rapidly.

Bears: Grew up with them and the '85 Bears. Football is my favorite sport and am a bears fan 4 lyfe!

Blackhawks: Used to love them...until the white flag trade where they shipped out Belfour, Chelios, and Roenick. Plus, their owner was like Hitler not broadcasting home games. What a stupid move on his part. They're alright but I like the Wolves better, their games are more entertaining as well.

My children's grade school is having anger management classes for K-6 graders. You might want to come and sit in.

Just like those bandwagon Sox "fans" you have a problem with, huh? I see a trend here.
