I’m not sure what ‘ruined’ Chicago Cubs‘ fans more — winning the World Series or social media. I think one is the byproduct of the other. I’m just not sure which is which. The Cubs have been the ‘lovable losers’ for most of my almost 40 years.
Only in the last five years have they broken that label. Sure, they had some excellent years along the way. But nothing was sustained. This has been the best five-year stretch I’ve seen watching the Cubs. But people are so angry with this team.
First, I’m not blaming the ‘new’ fans or even the ‘bandwagon’ fans.
