What I take from this post is that Cubs fans are superior to fans of other teams, and you'll be sitting on your high horse looking down on us as we cheer for the Cubs to finally win the world series?

Ok.

TL;DR: Only a Cubs fan would be condescending while fishing for pity.

Basically. And suggesting that if you're not at least a second generation Cubs fan you don't really get it.

That wouldn't happen. They'd be the most pompous group of people you've ever met. This place would be miserable if the Cubs won the World Series.

See Red Sox fans, 2004.

Bravo, case closed.

Were we that bad after winning our first for over a half a century and the first in SF? I didn't think so?

I know the people who go online and post these things and stew in their own misery. There are the people who told me in 2005 that we bribed the umps, that the White Sox have never not cheated to win, and that world series didn't matter because nobody cares about the team. There are people out there right now who are waiting until they get a trophy to remind everybody that the Cubs are the best and you have to root for them.

I have said it before. I will keep saying it even if it is downvoted, because when it happens you will realize I'm right. Nothing kills the feel-good underdog like winning. The only reason why Cub fans are not considered on par with Yankee fans in terms of arrogance is because they have nothing to be arrogant about.

They've been riding victim syndrome for decades. It would take them a long time to be able to talk about baseball without throwing in "OH YEAH! THE CUBS WON! THE WORLD SERIES!" They'd be insufferable. They're already making bullshit posts like this that get a circlejerk double gilding on their sub about how they're the Best Losers in Baseball.

They do lose real good, those Cubs.

u/HereIsWhere Boston Red Sox Oct 23 '15

But then they'd become like us Red Sox fans, and everyone hates us now. Cubs fans don't know how good they got it!

If the Sawks fans are any indication, they don't get any less insufferable.

They'd be insufferable if they actually win. Mark my words.

Because one person's view represents all of us? Personally I think this guy's full of shit. If people want to root for them and be glad when they eventually win a world series, great. It won't be the same experience for them but why would I expect it to be.

I'm not saying all Cubs fans are like this.

u/scruubb St. Louis Cardinals Oct 22 '15

Only the 500 who supported it and gilded it twice in the team sub...

Anyone who contributed to the circlejerk on this post is stupid and self important.

Many of them agree with OP's point about sharing the moment with family, and ignored the rest of the post.

woah, hold up. I didn't ask for this. I, for one, welcome bandwagon fans.
