What do you base your charge on that fans in the midwest are zombies who dont care either way? Have you lived there? I havent found that here. People here are miserable that the Chiefs and Royals stink. They are very passionate about their sports, ever been to arrowhead? Remember what Royals Stadium was like in the 70's and 80's? And fans in the midwest are passionate about college football and basketball, something "sophisticated Boston fans" are not. Fans of the NCAA Champion Kansas team are passionate, but when their team doesnt win it all, they dont start saying "they suck" like idiots. When you turn on sports radio, they can talk about all sports from all over the country very knowledgably, as opposed to Boston fans who talk about the same pitching change for 12 hours on WEEI or cannot and will not talk about anything but Red Sox and/or Patriots.
Im from Boston, I love Boston, and Boston teams are my passion. Boston fans are highly overated. Or, more accurately, Boston fans overate themselves.
They dont deserve what Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, John Henry, Theo Epstein and Terry Francona have given them.
Cant wait for the Ainge/Rivers/Pierce/Garnett/Allen sucks talk to start.
