sportsreports

Obviously I have not posted a blog in a while. I have been extremely busy lately, but I felt I had to post a blog today for two reasons. The first reason being that I hope to get paid for doing this, and the second and most important reason being that Sunday was a tragic day for America. On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays (not Devil Rays) beat the mighty Boston Red Sox in the seventh game of the ALCS. Now a lot of people were happy, or acted happy, about this tragedy, but I do not understand why. How come all of a sudden every one in America is a Tampa fan? A team that can’t even get 20,000 people in attendance when they are in first place suddenly has millions of fans nationwide because they are in the playoffs? No. That is what we call a fairweather fan, or a bandwagon jumper. Personally, I hate fans like that. They always deny it, they always act like they know what they’re talking about, but truly they don’t.  A lot of people jumped on the Red Sox bandwagon last year after they won the world series. I have always been a Red Sox fan since I grew up there, and I personally find it insulting when people do that. It insults sports, the team, and the loyal fans when scum fans start showing up at games with brand new jerseys because the team is doing good. One time at a game I asked someone with a Red Sox jersey if they knew the first name of the player on the jersey (it was a Wily Mo Pena jersey believe it or not), and they said no. It astonishes me that people can act like fans when they clearly are not. Stay true to your home town and be a fan of your hometown team. Every team has its up and down. Oh and I hate the Rays and I hope they lose to the Phillies in the World Series, even though I am sure they won’t because the Phillies are pure garbage. The NL is like little league. Thanks for your time.
