This is rediculous...
You know what the lowest denomination of sports' fans are???
HATERS... peroid. But to say that Red Sox Nation needs to show more respect... or whatever you said. First, take a look at your own teams' fans, and think really hard about it.
Just yesterday, in a Wal-Mart in Raynham, MA... I happened to notice a guy with a Navy Blue Yankees hat on... mostly because people who wear Yankees clothing in Massachusetts stick out like sore thumbs.
Then I happened to notice his t-shirt... A Calvin & Hobbs "piss on" The Boston Red Sox t-shirt.
Dont' you think that people should just support their own teams, and pay no attention to what "the enemy teams" are doing?
The best team at the end of the season will go further in the playoffs than the other teams...
And in the past few seasons... that's the Boston Red Sox. Two World Series Championships in four years proves that to be the truth.
Look, I don't like the Yankees one bit, because I was born and raised in Southeast Mass, but you don't see me spewing hatred about other teams like the Yankees.
Honestly, it's pathetic... and that's what haters are... pathetic. A-Rod sucks... Manny sucks... Paul Pierce sucks... Kobe sucks... anybody who would say anything like that is a fool.
EVERY team, in all the major sports, has their fair share of ignorant, and bad, fans... so don't let a few bad apples ruin the bunch for you, and don't say that Red Sox Nation needs to show more respect. I could be as ignorant and say "the evil empire" needs to show more respect to Red Sox Nation.
Honestly, it works both ways. Don't be so ignorant. I'm sure you are familiar with the old saying, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Well... it's true.
