Oh, fucking A. I said you can be a fan of any team you want, but people who are in close proximity to the team and its media coverage, venue, and high concentration of fellow fans are probably a different kind of fan. Some guy from, say, Idaho, who just started liking the Cubs in 2003, isn't going to be the same level of Cubs fan as one who suffered through the bad years, had to watch the losses on WGN, read about the crap in the Chicago Tribune, and got heckled by the White Sox fans down the street. Pick any team you'd like, I do, but there still is a certain something that an out-of-towner can't replicate. Shit, am I the only person here who can say that I like the Ottawa Senators a lot, but still admit that I can't consider myself part of the crowd because I'm not from Ottawa, or even Ontario, or even Canada?
