    I bet the athletes love going to 6 flags and sea world... but seriously I guess if you want to be a king, that would be nice...

    chicago is a great city and the drunken losers in that city really take in to their teams. they are real die-hards....sure, there are die-hard blazer fans who are obsessed like on this board...but more than not, the numbers aren't that many and its more bandwagon peeps than anything. in chicago, being a sports fan is part of the culture.

    Would you still hang around your sibling/parent if they became a deadbeat? NO! What's wrong with being a fair-weather fan? The point of a sports team is to entertain. If the team is playing awful, why go to the game (unless you want to see some other team that is good). I don't think the Blazers would have bad attendance if the team went 30-52.

    Dude, I'm not questioning why they're ranked above us, I'm questioning why the author points to the fans as a negative in Portland, as opposed to a place like Houston/Orlando... Not. hard. to. understand.

    because Portland fans have a reputation for "blazermaniacs". he's taking a dig at them as being just like any other fan and showing that they do abandon their team if they're not winning.

    While on the subject of city bashing--

    I will never understand why someone would want to live in NYC. I don't get the fascination--perhaps cause I'm a middle aged, happily married guy with kids but there's no amount of money that could ever get me to move to NYC.

    That's not why I lost interest for awhile ... this "truth" of yours isn't exactly universal.
