I’ve believed this for decades.
A lot of folks aren’t going to like it.
But here goes: Cubs fans who claim to “hate” the White Sox are, by and large, full of it.
Hear me out, please. Sox fans have plenty of reasons to “hate” the Cubs. For a long time, the Cubs received outsized attention due to their television deal with WGN. Forever, the Cubs have held massive ballpark-and-neighborhood advantages. Through it all, media coverage locally has tipped the Cubs’ way.
At least as often as not, it was all true even though the Sox had the better team.
