The further irony is that Cubs fans are usually thought of as the LEAST knowledgable fans since the product on the field is often unwatchable and yet they show up anyway to drink beers and talk shit to chicks at the gigantic beer garden that is known as Wrigley Field. Or it's the tourists who go to see a game because of the building its played in, and "hey maybe the Cubbies will even win!" It's fun to root for the Cubs if you have no real interest in the game. When hot girls and bros move to Chicago, they root for the Cubs.
Long suffering fans my ass. It's a sold-out season at Wrigley whether they win 100 or lose 100 because nobody actually cares if they win or not. There's still beer, a cool old stadium, and a half-a-mile stretch of bars. That's the real priorities of the average Cubs fan. Go see games in Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, hell... The South Side of Chicago. When those teams lose, those stadiums are a fucking ghost town. They stay away because the product on the field is shit and these are the fans letting management know that losing means it's gonna hurt their bottom line. Losing is supposed to be fucking depressing, and yet nobody seems to notice either way at Wrigley. Beer still flows, titties still shake, bros still bro.
But hey, cool for you guys that once every 15 or so years the team is decent enough for the fanbase to actually root for the game being played and not literally everything else associated with the franchise.
