re: The Cubs deserve to lose badly

What bugs me most about the Cubs start way back in '84. Prior to that, no one gave a shite about the Cubs. They have one good year, combined with Harry on the mike, and all of the sudden everyone was a Cub fan. The worst example of bandwagon jumping I have ever seen. The dirty secret was that the ChiSox routinely out-drew the Cubs. But if you listened to the media, the Cubs were some kind of historic franchise.

Got it. So in your mind, a shitty team that's allegedly has a full bandwagon since '84 is to be hated, but all the other fanbases, where the bandwagon fills up once the team is actually good, are to be applauded? Got it.

These anti-Cubs arguments are literally at odds with each other to the point of being comical.

Cubs fans are bandwagon: They've been in the top 1/3 of MLB for attendance for years and years, and routinely invade other teams stadiums.

Cubs fans are only there for the party: If they only care about the party at Wrigley, why do they invade other stadiums? Why were people legitimately crying in the stands in 2003? Why were some people so upset over that if they don't care about wins and losses? You know what this is? It's about the only excuse people could come up with to try and discredit a fan base that supports the team through it all. And you know what? Wrigley is fun...no apologies for that. But we also love the Cubs. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

A couple fun facts on the fanbases:

2014 Attendance:
Cubs 11th
Toronto 17th
Mets 21st
Kansas City 25th
Houston 26th

2015 Attendance:
Cubs 6th
Kansas City 10th
Mets 12th
Texas 16th
Houston 22nd

I see bandwagon people, with the exception of 1 team. You can figure out which one.
