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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
