You can only take so much arrogance and people constantly ripping your team before you start to root against their team.

I've told this story before, but I grew up a Royals AND Cards fan, because my dad is a lifelong Cards fan. I celebrated when they won the 82 World Series.
I was in college at Mizzou in 85 and when both teams made the WS, I thought, Great, I can't lose! Royals were 1a and Cards were 1b. However, most of the Cards fans at school treated me and other Royals fans like crap. They went out of their way to come up to you and tell you how the Royals were podunk, sucked and that the Cards were going to kick our ass.
That pretty much killed my Cards fanhood. I'm happy for my Dad when the Cards win the pennant, but I take no joy in it anymore, haven't for 29 years.
