re: Does anyone else not want the Cubs to win the World Series

The Cubs fan base, outside of the Red Sox, is the worst in baseball, and probably the worst in all of sports. So yeah, there's no way that team ever deserves to win the World Series, and their 107 year streak is completely justified for that terrible fan base.
While I appreciate the passion of some of the guys in the Cubs threads here and the people from Chicago who have been through all of the losses, Cubs fans/hype annoy me for several reasons.
- Media hype gets way over the top when they get a sniff of being good. 2003 was insufferable and it will be 10x worse these days.
- I understand the WGN thing and all of that, but people who aren't from Chicago acting like they live and die with every pitch are like the guys on the soccer board who get way too melodramatic about some team from England that they have no connection with and adopted for whatever random reason.
- I guess being a Cubs fan is better than jumping on the bandwagon of a successful team, but even rooting for the loveable losers has kind of become some hip try hard thing. We get that you love your team. Stop telling us all about it.
- Wrigley and a lot of the Cubs support is about the party, not baseball, for the Lincoln Park jr vice presidents and frat stars getting drunk on Dog Style in the bleachers or rooftops.
- ETA, Maddon fits in perfectly with his cool old, hipster schtick.

You sure do seem mad..
But then again, not much to be happy about in Detroit

Beyond stupid.
Geographical location has nothing to do with fandom. I've seen just as passionate fans outside of chicago after I moved. It's something they love, and they love watching their team succeed. To suggest that they can't cant care as much as a guy living in chicago is just down right dumb.

Doesn't sound like there is really a way to please you about other people's fandom. If you like the cubs in the dark years you're a loveable loser bandwagoner, if you like them this year, you're just jumping on a winning bandwagon.

Yep, fanbases are diverse. There are plenty of good people too. hell the people you mentioned while they might not be insanely passionate could still be good people and spend money that lines the coffers that bolsters the team.

You should probably root for them to end the drought then.

How dare fans talk about their team.

Thus argument is played out. Why do others give a shite? Is is jelousy? This argument comes up when ever a new team, in any sport, enters the fold and has a shot. I've been a cubs fan all my life through wgn. I've been to wrigley twice. I've gotten invested in them over the years and following them in ups and downs.

I was actually out in Wrigley last night during the game. I was conspicuously not rooting for the Cubs (I'm a Reds fan), but I'll give them credit last night...
That crowd was largely the diehard, never-say-die type of Cubs fan. I didn't see many pink hat fans.
It was also rowdy as hell and really fun. The cops had blocked off huge sections around the Clark/Addison intersection. I will be going back this weekend.

Bunk Moreland that was one of the best answers I have heard on why people hate the cubs.
I have no idea why but in Chicago they don't treat teams like stars but treat certain individual athletes like gods.A great example is Walter Payton kids are as talented as the Jenner kids. They both have there own tv shows and they are both awful at what they do. But because of there dad they will always be involved in the Chicago media which is stupid imo.

As a Cubs season ticket holder, I agree partially, but there are more true Cubs fans who go, don't drink, etc. than what is seen on TV.
All other clubs in MLB wish they had the problem of people wanting to go to the Bleachers and partying and cheering on the Cubs.
Heck, the only place I thought was comparable, was old Yankee Stadium, and they got rid of that.
And I will cut you for badmouthing a delicious Old Style on a very hot day
