The Sox are currently below .500 and have been bad. So bad, in fact, that I’ve had to personally reassess how invested I want to be in this team, or at least in the team this season. Do I really want to follow every pitch as it happens? Do I really want to see every disappointing loss in real time? Would that make me less of a fan though, or can I still protect my peace?
Giving all of that some thought, I’ve decided to list the tiers of Red Sox fandom.
Lowest Tier: A baseball fan for a team that rivals/hates the Red Sox

This likely means you actively wish ill on the Red Sox for your own enjoyment.
