After a team wins a World Series, or any major title of a sport, there is an influx of "fans", and I use this term loosely here, that wish to take part in the team's celebrations and, in fact, maybe even feel entitled to join in the festivities. Of course it goes without saying, that any ACTUAL fan of a team watches games, not just in the post season, and after years, not weeks (or in even in the worst cases days), one can finally love your team. And once you actually love your team, you are a fan.

      When you love a team, you feel bad for a player, not because he's hurting the team, but because he is personally struggling and hurting because of it. When your a fan, you actually feel... jubilant... yes jubilant when a team member accomplishes a milestone, such as Joba's first win as a starter, you feel as though your brother had done it.

    A non-fan, or juvenile an idiot fan, says things such as "Yankees Suck", "Yankees Suck" because they are too inexperienced to realize that this has virtually no effect, other than letting everyone know how much of a fool you are for not being able to think of something more creative, let alone effective. A real fan knows that arguments with other baseball fans can only be won through reason, reason gained from years of accumulating miscellaneous facts attributing to the education of an erudite, well rounded, baseball fan. Real fans are knowledgable.

    Now I get to the point of this post. Due to the Red Sox finally fulfilling their quest for a World Championship, their fan base has been overrun and diluted to the point of their fan base being weaker than any others. Not that the Yankees don't have some terrible fans. In fact, this happens to most teams that win the world series and is well documented; once a team wins, the bandwagon comes around, along with its idiot cargo. Usually these non-fans go away after a few months or years, but, the Red Sox are different. Fox Sports and ESPN have espoused the Red Sox supposed cause and are the reason for the decline into "Red Sox Nation".

       First it was Fox Sports attempting to paint the Yankees as heartless, and maybe even evil as they portrayed the team as The Empire (which actually have been compared to the Nazi regime, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_Empire_(Star_Wars) very briefly but there is more out there, just google it!) a harsh comparison to make for the Yanks. Meanwhile the oppressed Red Sox, the harmless, pristine representative of New England, tries to defeat the Yankees by winning a World Series.

    Are you kidding me, since when is the team of the goofy Yogi Berra evil? Surely this is Fox just trying to get viewers to watch but this has serious connotations and undertones that people actually pick up!

    And then when the Red Sox finally won the World Series in 2004, the "Nation" was born. Soon, inbred and degenerate fans started packing into Fenway and real fans started to notice. This fan on facebook has a group called "REAL Red Sox Fans Against the Term Red Sox Nation" http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6808585811

    He then states that "people that go to games at fenway park these days dont deserve it." ESPN, and their internal fans, running the network, have actually done something great for the Yankees, obviously against their intentions: they have ruined, at least for the moment, the Red Sox fan base and have infuriated the real fans...

    I will close with this question: How is it that a team, trying desperately for a World Series win since 1918, and when they finally get it, their core base of fans is overrun with non-fans annihilating their true fan base through sheer frustration and even rage. And all this from a World Series Win?... Maybe this is a Yankee universe after all, Hank.
