chw42 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 02:37 PM) You're really not. 1) Cubs fans are a more nation wide fanbase. There are nearly as many Cub fans in Austin as there are Astros or Rangers fans here. You're never going to make those people White Sox fans. 2) When the White Sox were good, you know a huge portion of the people watching were Cub fans. Also, they don't affect our organization. Period. If the Sox are good, they have enough fans to go. If they're bad, no one bothers. Cubs have nothing to do with it. Yeah, I don't think that's the case at all. It's not that there's not many Cubs fans, it's that there's much more Rangers and Astros fans here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I went to Sports Authority in a suburban mall a few weeks ago, and there was probably 95% Cubs stuff and 5% White Sox stuff. Before this year, it was probably 55/45 in terms of Cubs stuff. Doesn't take a marketing major to know this is not good for developing your fan base.

OmarComing25 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) The reality is there is room enough for two baseball teams in Chicago and each can be successful regardless of the success. Who made the Sox horrible this year? The White Sox. The Cubs have nothing to do with this. Any fans we lose we deserve. We're garbage. Ok. But that ignores the fact that it will be harder to gain fans back when we get good again if they're already firmly entrenched on the Cubs bandwagon. Just keep ignoring reality.

Panerista Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 04:40 PM) Yeah, I don't think that's the case at all. It's not that there's not many Cubs fans, it's that there's much more Rangers and Astros fans here. I don't think Austin much cares about sports, but there's no doubt in my mind if the Astros/Rangers are 1, 2, without a doubt the Cubs are #3. The Chicago following here is enormous.

southsider2k5 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 This is why people hate Cub fans. The Cubs can't just win and be happy. For some stupid reason the entire world has to be happy for them. I wasn't happy when the Twins won. I wasn't happy when the Tigers made the World Series, why on God's green earth would I be happy that the Cubs won? Seriously, f*** the Cubs and their fans.

ron883 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If I didn't just move to wrigleyville, I would be more against them winning. I'm indifferent now, if not slightly rooting for them. I want to be in the heart of the party if they win. It will be absolutely wild. I'm assuming I'll be able to find some overjoyed cubs broad to bang. I'm predicting the panties will be awfully wet in wrigleyville the night they win it, if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
