SoxFan1 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I would definitely still be a Sox fan, I wouldn't be happy about the move and I wouldn't be able to get many games on TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 That would be the ultimate slap in the face. No way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 While I lived in Florida for 8 years I stayed a fan (only got to get to 10 or so games a year back then though which sucked). But no, there is nothing that would stop me from being a fan of the Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I would be a fan of the Chicago White Sox and I would probably cheer for the players too. But I voted no because I would not really be a fan of the franchise if they won a championship for another city. I don't think I would be able to handle that.

Soxplosion Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 First, I didnt vote because they cant move until like 2026 so its really beyond my reach of care. And if they did move, yeah, I would still be a fan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I would be a Sox fan... Sox can´t have a new owner??? That would be great!!! A guy like Steinbrenner!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleM23 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I'd still be a fan, but I don't know if I'd stay as diehard... I'd probably slowly wither into some sort of Cub-hating, Cardinal sympathizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I'd probably try not to be, but would still be regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 And i´m talking from brazil... and i never went to a game... No offense but the fact that youve never been to a game could make it easier for you to stay a fan than for the rest of us to stay a fan. Comiskey probably has no real sentimental value to you, and thats expectable given youve never been. But hopefully they wont move and youll get to share the joy of Comiskey with the rest of us.

witesoxfan Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Let me just say I don't think this team would move voluntarily. I know it was brought up that moving to Tampa was at one time a possibility. The only way this team would move would to be forced out. The only way this team would be forced out within the next 20 years is if the Cubs won a World Championship before us. We truly would be the forgotten team then. May as well put up like 15 in a row or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I'd bail on the Sox if they moved. There's no reason to... And that would basically be the Sox conceding to the Cubs. Screw that. :fyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 with the USCF deal came an extension in the Sox lease for another, what, 15 years which comits them to 2023 or something like that - my numbers be a year or so off - that was the best part of the deal for me - the Sox ain't moving. I have been through that too many times in my life... you young guys don't remember the fears of losing the Sox that we had in the 70s and up until JR bought the team - as much as JR gets bashed, he solidified the team in Chicago and he has set it up for them to be here long after he is gone - he deserves thanks for that - and actuarial tables tll us that JR has maybe 5 good years tops as chairman before age catches up to him - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
