What type of fan are you?

PrintI know I've mentioned in passing a bunch of times on this site something to the effect of 'don't be like a Red Sox fan.' I have never been able to properly explain what exactly I've meant by this.
It was with great surprise that a few days ago, Boston Globe writer Bob Ryan wrote a piece on basically exactly what I mean. He feels Boston fans have lost their way and the fans think everything is about them, and not about being a fan of the game. Very good stuff IMHO. Enjoy.

I am a MEDIUM MARKET fan
It was SO much happier whan it was crowds of 12,000 at the stadium - much easier to clean up the trash afterwards.
