Slightly off topic, but that is probably my biggest pet peeve right now. I HATE seeing any Sox stuff on the North Side. These North Side Sox fans have come out of the woodwork in recent years, and I have a hard time understanding it or accepting it, and I've lived here all of my life. And these are the fans with gigantic chips on their shoulders, smugly parading around with their hats and shirts everywhere. I see the same characters all the time. It's disgusting. Sometimes it feels like WE are the 2nd class team in the area. Where does it come from? Did these people all migrate from the same South Side enclave like sheep, waiting for the day that they would rise from the shadows and stage a revolt on the North? I know it sounds petty and immature, but this has been burning me up for a long time now, and it has only gotten worse since 2005.

When I was a kid, Rosenberg was the only White Sox fan on the North Shore.
A Jewish kid who roots for the White Sox is the same as one who roots for Arabs and Catholics.
Yeah...that's right...you heard me.
