Now we're talking about vendors? :bowrofl: Nice straw man construct, but this has nothing to do with baseball.
Attendance. You were discussing attendance. The more people who attend, the more vendors and food service personnel are needed. Sox fans don't support their fellow Chicagoans. A lackluster team with fans who aren't compassionate for their fellow human beings.

So you're trying to peddle this notion that people attend Cubs games to support the vendors. :facepalm:

I admire your altruism, but if you were sincere about the welfare of "fellow Chicagoans," wouldn't that warrant attending Sox games for the same reason? Frankly, it's a dumb argument and I think (hope) you can do better than that. No one cares about attendance figures except owners and Cubs fans. The Florida Marlins and Tampa Rays have the worst attendance in professional sports, but they still have more WS appearances than the Cubs in the modern era. I think Cubs fans know a thing or two about "lackluster teams."

Your argument was that attendance doesn't matter. It matters.

The Cubs argument has always been to take in the money and don't care where you finish because the dumb assed fans will still come out and buy your shit product. The Sox has a dumb assed owner also but he doesn't have dumb assed fans. They expect to support a team only if it is a legit team.

I always have maintained that Reinny is a dumb shit owner who could have taken the town back to the Sox after 2005 but gave it back right away with his failure to spend money. He did it with the Sox and has done it with the Bulls also, the prick:(

I honestly don't give a ****. But the thing is, the only reason the Sox are still even in this city is because of Reinsdorf and Einhorn literally scamming the city of Chicago to build them a stadium...or "we're relocating". They should have moved for all the support they get. And please don't feed me that endless line of bullshit that Sox fans show when the team wins..what a load of crap. 2005...99 wins...and still killed in attendance by a very mediocre Cub team by over 750,000.

I really don't know what the big deal is about Cubs fans vs Sox fans....it's pretty much all one way. The reason being there aren't enough Sox fans to really care about. All you got to do is look at these forums for proof of that. This forum goes days without a post.


IT doesn't matter what the Cubs do. They will always be losers in every shape and form. I am talking about the White Sox and their dipshit owner. THe fact that Cubs fans are idiots does not mean shit to me. Cramming their fat asses into the worst ballpark in the major leagues means nothing to me. In fact it is hilarious.

As far as not posting on this forum, what do you care? YOu can go diddle yourself with the rest of your dummy fans in the Cubs forum all that you want to. I am sure Tribar is about the most intelligent poster there, right? I have never gone there lest some disease befell me BTW.

This is about Reinny and his dumb ass ownership. Somehow he must see the blind loyalty that the dumb asses on the north side gives the cubbies and thinks that he should be owed the same thing. Well **** him and his outdated ideas.

The Cubs are like the kid who gets an award for never missing a day in school. He is by all means a dumb shit but goes to school every day. Give me the kid who plays hookey when he can, gets solid A's, plays sports and gets all kinds of girlfriends. That kid is a Sox fan while the kid who gets an "attendance award" is a Cub fan, getting D's, marries the town slut after he knocks her up, and goes on welfare.

Great point, one of the worst examples. Given the dominance in popularity in attendance, the Cubs forum is a ghost town relatively speaking.

I know you like to Hawk up threads and all, but you shouldn't miss that a poster making little sense shouldn't get any response in return that has any depth.

Teams make more money from TV and MLB Internet contracts than they do from attendance. Home teams only get a significant amount from the gate from the luxury boxes, not the seats of the regular joes. Also, some of us Sox fans don't live in Illinois or in my case in the United States. But by all means Scrub fans keep concern trolling us because your team happens to be more popular and has a national following. After all, attendance awards totally make up for 107 years and counting.

Also, most teams that play like hot garbage don't draw worth a shit, especially since the 2007-2009 recession. The Sox have won one playoff game since the 05 Series. That's not exactly a recipe for growing a fan base considering baseball's lack of popularity among millenials.

Remember when Hawk went Full Hawk about how shitty the Cubs were going to be last year and how good the White Sox were going to be. Then, the season happened and he never showed back up. Good times.
