There’s no room on the Kansas City Royals bandwagon for St. Louis Cardinals fans.
I was born in KC, but I didn't grow up there. I'd like to get your thoughts on this. It gave me a much higher understanding of Reaper's frustration with Cardinals fans. Is this an accurate portrayal of the life of a Royals fan in KC? I know it may be a long read for some of you mongos, so no worries if you don't have the attention span.

I have a KC tattoo I used to show for tips.
I hope you people don't feel too used.

As a Cards fan who follows the royals, mostly due to you guys on here and that I like y all so much, I hope you guys win it.I'm not going out of my way cheering the Royals on, but I love watching great baseball. And you guys are playing great right now
But in terms of the article, imho, the writer doesn't need to cheapen this experience by bringing in Cards and their fans. **** them, enjoy this as a royals fan. Who gives a damn about the cards and their fans. |

You're a Chuck Palahniuk character if I've ever seen one...

If I were a Royals fan I'd be far more upset by all the Johnny-come-lately mother****ers who act like they are finally getting redemption for all their suffering.
This board is a good example of it, TBH. There are dozens of posters who've populated the Royals threads here for years, and those guys deserve every ounce of success the team has had. The other "fans", though, are completely detestable. They aren't much different than the family member who was never seen, yet tries to become a hanger-on once someone has made the big time.

How is it another teams fans fault that you continue to be a fan of a team that makes you feel that way? That is between you and your team. It has nothing to do with talking smack to an opponent or rival fan. You don't deserve a "break" just because your choice of a favorite team has sucked.

Good-natured ribbing, yes, Bad-natured ribbing ought not be a constant part of it. And especially not if you're a kid being "ribbed" by an adult. |

They're no one's assholes. They exist only for their own edification and to spew disingenuous bullshit before they hop onto the next bandwagon.
They're sports sophists and should be liquidated as though they were Timorese.
