Question

do the met fans and yankee fans hate each other too?

Answer 1

wow....yes i think everyone knows this

Answer 2

Same City different ways of Play Ball, Cubs Play by Being Nice to the fans, The Sox Play by Being Mean to Players from Other teams, This Explains why the Cubs are cursed and the Sox won the World Series 3 Years Ago by Starting Fights and Arguments by Ozzie Guillen, Even Sweet Lou Doesn't start that kind of Trouble.

Answer 3

let me get this clear:

the cubs are chicagos one team

the sox are just randomly there

cubs have way more fans

they dont have an obnoxious manager

they will win it all this year

Answer 4

these guys have some die hard fans and plus they have a history of disliking each other as teams.

met fans and yankee fans don't hate each other to the point where they couldn't walk through queens with a yanks hat or the bronx with a met hat but they do love the rivalry of two teams from the same city.

Answer 5

It's simple. Familiarity breeds contempt. Or in this case, rivalry. A lot of fans live by the mantra that their city is a one-horse town. (i.e.: "This place isn't big enough for the both of us.") I'm guessing Chicago Cubs and White Sox fans don't care for each other's teams because they don't like another team claiming to represent their city. And of course, there's the class divide. Cubs fans are portrayed as yuppies and suburban folks, whereas the White Sox, playing on the South Side, are the working class guys' team. (Cubs fans have been known to call the ChiSox the "hood" or "ghetto" team. It's unfair, but it happens.)

As for Yankees and Mets: Well, it's more of a hateful relationship with Mets fans. Most Yankees fans don't hate the Mets (I don't) and we tend to look at the situation as a big brother-little brother thing. But most Mets fans loathe the Yankees, even to the point of rooting for the Red Sox whenever the Yanks and BoSox play. I even knew Mets fans who rooted for the Braves during the '96 World Series because they didn't want the Yankees to win the Series. It's always baffled me because I think Mets fans should hate the Braves and Phillies a lot more. A lot of Mets fans are the descendants of old Brooklyn Dodgers and New York baseball Giants fans who also hated the Yankees. It's not the same with football, though. It's much more friendly with the Jets and Giants, except when they're playing each other.

Answer 6

because its the cross town rivals

Answer 7

Sox just hate the CUBS!! because the cubs are so much better and popular. There could be a slight chance that they have share the same town but everyone knows the north side better because of the cubs.

Answer 8

Sox fans can't stand the fact that the Cubs are, and always will be, more popular.  When the Cubs finally win a world series, the city will go totally insane.

Answer 9

History lesson. Cub fans HATE this, but I'm just reporting historical fact.

The city of Chicago on the north side has a huge population of what are now referred to as yuppies. This didn't happen last year. It's always been that way.

The south side is working class and has an inordinate number of black people.

All during the 1950s and 60s, when I was a kid, the white people in Illinois, where I grew up as a matter of fact, would openly say, "Hey, I'm for the White team, not the White Sox." They would carry signs that said things like "Sox Suck" and all that.

That has never changed. The roots of the division were largely racial. And it really hasn't changed all that much, either.

The National League Chicago White Sox in the 1880s -- a team that would evolve and become the Chicago Cubs -- was managed and owned by a man named Cap Anson. Anson didn't like black people, which was not against PC rules back then. Moses Fleetwood Walker, the first black to play in the majors openly, was a catcher and was warming up his pitcher to get ready to play Chicago. Anson saw him and made the quote that he is most famous for: Hey! Get that N----- off the field!" Walker's manager refused to do so and Walker played in the game.

During the Winter Meetings that year, Anson pressed for the great unwritten rule -- not much opposition, mind -- to have no blacks in the game.

Boston is a horribly racist city. Better'n Chicago, though.

Illinois born and raised.

Answer 10

Its because they are fighting to see which is the ultimate Chicago team. Why do you think people say "there is only one team in town." This does not make sense to me because they are not in the same division. I understand the Yankees and Red Sox because they are in the same division and fight for play-off spots, but these teams don't. I am a Sox fan and don't hate the Cubs, I just like the Sox more. The Yankees and Mets are like this but not as bad.

Answer 11

Cross town rivalry... Duh!

Answer 12

sox win championships n the cubs get jelious

but good question though

Answer 13

Inner-city  rivalries are always good for ticket sales as well as and more importantly than good clean fun.

Answer 14

bcuz the sox suck and the cubs rock and its a rivarly

Answer 15

I'm guessing you're not from Chicago or else you'd know this and wouldnt have to ask. They hate each other for obvious reasons. Main reason is just b/c they are cross town rivals fighting for city bragging rights.

Answer 16

As with most cities the west side and east side dont normally get along, but more so its created by media to over play the drama. These days though its due to a large part of Ozzie, the pathetic, obnoxious, arrogant, immature, over rated louse.  Yanks and Mets have a friendly  rivalry,a nd more so only when interleague came in to play. Yanks of course usually have upper hand.

Answer 17

They hate each other because they both feel they're the only team in town.  White Sox fans will claim Chicago is their town and Cubs fans will claim that it's a Cubs town.  Fact is the White Sox can claim it's a White Sox town till they're blue in the face, but the Cubs are and always will be a Cubs town.  The Sox could win 5 consecutive World Series titles and it would still be a Cubs town.  That's just the way it is here.

Answer 18

self explanatory
