I understand there are many Boston transplants in the ATL. But 20,000, all at Turner Field tonight? Don’t think so. While I have no problem with those who stick by their home team (I remained loyal to the Braves when I relocated to LA), I have zero tolerance for those who pick their favorites based on trendiness.
Unfortunately, most of those people live in Atlanta (for basketball fans, they are the losers who show up at Hawks games wearing Kobe Bryant jerseys).
I hate them all. I want to punch them. Particularly when they cheer loudly for a visitor to beat their hometown team. Particularly when they are as obnoxious as Red Sox fans (bandwagon or otherwise).
They have no shame. I want to punch them.
Thus, I won’t be going to the Ted the next three nights. I should be there, standing up for the Bravos, but I can’t stomach the infiltration of Red Sox nation. Watching the Braves lose is bad enough; watching the Braves lose while a third of the stadium cheers is even worse.
Yuck, I hate the Red Sox more than the Yankees, largely because they have the same astronomical payroll, yet somehow see themselves as the underdogs.
Their fans are annoying too, I totally agree.
I agree. Much is the same with college football, only the fans for the visiting team cheer with a hatred toward the opposing team.
I’m not sure what’s worse, Red Sawks fans or having to listen to Dusty Baker/Rick Sutcliffe combo on the ESPN broadcast of the game. I guess the former since w/ the latter I do have the MUTE button.
