Chicago Cubs: Are Fans Getting Delusional About Their Fandom?

Chaitman’s points are very short-sighted. They shun and almost ignore fan bases of other teams. Here was my response to him:

This article is incredibly presumptuous and biased. Nearly the entire article is rife with narrow-minded quotes and points. The Cardinals and Cubs only recently a rivalry? Cubs fans make better Jews? Baseball is the most religious of all sports? “There are rites, rituals, and customs.” This applies to every sport.

The Cubs are far from the only team that has to be patient. Most Cubs are likely fans of the Bears, Blackhawks, and Bulls or some combination thereof. That means the majority have seen one of their teams win a championship in their lifetime.

Cleveland had to wait 52 years for any of their teams to win a title. When the Giants won the World Series in 2010, it was their first since 1954 and first ever in San Francisco. They moved there in 1957.
