I've said this before, but maybe it's the distance I have from it all. Being in Ohio for over 12 years now, I get no exposure to the daily Chicago sports show call-in crapping. The Sox-fan friends I have that are Cub haters I regard as being cute, and their pettiness is not really worth my discomfort.
To be honest, I think Sox fans have some validity to the argument that they have long-been portrayed as the second-class baseball team in Chicago (and nationally--e.g., the SI cover incident when the Sox won the WS). Politics, geography, demographics all play a factor. I'm from the south suburbs, and that chip on the southsider shoulder extends beyond baseball too.
All that said, I DO think Hawk is an asshat. However, I can't see him as anything more than a clown. Unlike Trump, he holds no real power.
