Same with Philly fans, do you really think they're as bad as the media makes them out to be? I realize they've had some outstanding strikes against them, but it's unfair to label the fan base as generally assholish.
That being said, I still think Ruby is right. There's lots of idiots in Wrigley. However, Butcher is also right in that it's no different than any other ballpark, stadium, field, court, or other venue in the world.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm not going to argue that Wrigley isn't filled with morons. It is. And I don't like that aspect of Wrigley sometimes.
But why are there so many articles about it? Are there this many articles in the St. Louis Dispatch about moronic Cardinals fans? I doubt it. Right here in Chicago, why does it take William Ligue running onto the field to beat up Tom Gamboa to take a Chicago sportswriter to say anything about Sox fans? It's almost like Sox fans are praised for not showing up for their team. I've been to U.S. Cellular many times. One out of ten fans there has a tattoo on his/her scalp and are drunk out of their gourds. Why don't we ever hear about those douchebags in the media?
