Deep down, he's a Red Sox fan. He went to Harvard and his cool rationality reflects that of the Red Sox ownership and front office.

I dunno, man. I've never seen him at one of our traditional Blood Sacrifices of the Minorities, and the Red Sox are built on that sacred custom.Dr. Medulla wrote:Deep down, he's a Red Sox fan. He went to Harvard and his cool rationality reflects that of the Red Sox ownership and front office.

Re: Obama = White Sox fan?
That's another point in his favour. The Red Sox prefer non-American tanned athletes—mostly Dominican—and that Kenya-Kansas mix makes him black looking, but lacking the authenticity to enrage the local Irish and Italians. You never hear BeanEater go on about wanting to chase Obama out of town with a baseball bat, but substitute his name with Rosa Parks and BBE goes nuts.eumaas wrote:I dunno, man.

Yeah. He's lived in Bronzeville/Hyde Park for years. They're all pretty much White Sox fans there.tepista wrote:We been knowin this for months. Remind us about when he dissed Cubs fans.eumaas wrote:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/us_ ... 683597.stm

Re: Obama = White Sox fan?
Well, I will say this: there are a lot of Cubs fans that I don't much care for, so that wouldn't way me anyway.eumaas wrote:Well, I remember hearing that, but I posted the link since McCain't is gettin desperate.Wolter wrote:Yeah.

Offhand, I could list quite a few and what I feel about them:
Celebrity Cubs Fans (L = like; D=dislike, I=Indifferent):
Bill Murray (L)
Jim Belushi (D)
Bonnie Hunt (I)
George Will (D)
BIlly Corgan (D)
Eddie Vedder (I)
George Wendt (L)
John Cusack [depends on whether the Sox or the Cubs are doing better] (I) {used to be L, but I've heard horror stories about him as a person - also, he's BiSoxual - BOO}
Dennis Franz (L)
Hillary Clinton (D)
Gary Sinise (L)
Jeff Garlin (L)
There's probably a lot more, but these are the ones I know offhand.
I made that list for no real reason.

She also claims to be a Yankees fan (that came out around, hmm, 2000). My guess is that she's never enjoyed watching a game of baseball in her life.Wolter wrote:Hillary Clinton (D)

Re: Obama = White Sox fan?
Depends on what you think is worse—self-conscious evil (say, Cheney) or amoral naked opportunism (Hillary).
