Fuck off, we're horrible fans. Our teams are just shit so we've become self-deprecating, if/when the Bears get good again we'll become insufferable.
Idk what you're talking about, Chicago is a huge city with tons of stuff to do. It's just really goddamn cold so things slow down a lot from December to February.
Samuel Lee
*and Cubs fans are a little different, because we've been the object of the entire country's jokes our whole lives, which means that we get a little leeway about being insufferable pricks about winning. That will go away by the end of next season. Just look at how quickly the Red Sox went from "aww, they broke their curse, how sweet" to "they're just a discount version of the Yankees, only even more smug".
Tyler Long
Cubs fans didn't exist two years ago
Michael Reed
They existed everywhere but the difference is that most of them weren't so obnoxious with their freshly purchased merchandise, "W" flags and suddenly being all about baseball.
Julian Gomez
They did, though. The Cubs were getting great attendance numbers even when they finished dead last in their division 4 years in a row. They've also had a large fanbase all over the Midwest for decades thanks to WGN aggressively promoting them (even though, again, they were shit).
Jeremiah Scott
literally all tourists and [gay] people who wanted to get drunk
Ryder Baker
Lol, are you a white sox fan? I grew up around a bunch of them, and they all had this ingrained desire to start whining about gay people in Lake View whenever some points out how popular the Cubs are.
Evan Lee
t. lifelong gay cubs fan since 2016
Camden Smith
Lol, I went to my first Cubs game back in '96, when I wasn't even one year old. And I'm not gay, I'm just a straight dude who got super drunk that one time and kissed a tranny (in my defense, I didn't know it was a tranny, but I did enjoy it so I guess that makes me bisexual).
Noah Lewis
Chicago is the third largest city in the U.S.
/thread
Anthony Robinson
Shit, is it really? Still? I thought Houston overtook us like 5 years ago.
Michael Allen
but other cities are close and have jack shit for fans, like houston and washington
And LA and NY teams are less popular here also
Oliver Reyes
nah won't get passed until like 2040 at current growth rates
Ryan Butler
Chicago is the poor man's Toronto
Ayden Evans
Nah, not really. Chicago is far more important from a banking/shipping/cultural/historical standpoint. Toronto does have more people, but it has very little going on, relatively speaking, and not much global relevance. It's like how Nanjing has more people than Los Angeles, but LA is far more important worldwide.
Toronto is a really nice city though. Helps that it's so close to Detroit, you get to juxtapose with a complete shithole of a city which makes Toronto look like heaven in comparison.
Gavin Brown
Chicago has far more people than Toronto
Henry King
checking in
go ATL
Hudson Gray
I don't think that's true, at least within the city limits. "Chicagoland" (the metro area) has more people than Toronto's, but within the city itself, Toronto has more.
Also, look how large Havana is on this list. No wonder practically everyone in my dad's family is from there, that's like 1/3 of Cuba's population! Crazy how certain countries completely revolve around just one city. And I've never even heard of Ecatepec de Morelos, but it's bigger than Philly.
Charles Nguyen
>he doesn't consider all of Cook County to be apart of Chicago
LOL . how old are you ?
Jayden Russell
>Crazy how certain countries completely revolve around just one city
city limit is bullshit though, it's all the same urban sprawl
Cameron Lee
A part.
Apart means separate. How old are you?
Liam Nelson
>being this desperate to extend the arguement in your favor >correcting grammar
LOL sad af tbqh
Christian Perez
le 1 space off XDXD argument INVALID XDXD
kill yourself , i'm not even kidding, i've met some dumb mother fuckers on this board but you top the list. you dumb cocksucker
Jack Butler
Retards on this site constantly use apart instead of a part and they mean completely opposite things
Liam Moore
please just STFU. you're embarrassing everyone, most importantly yourself
Gabriel Richardson
I literally wrote that "Chicagoland" was bigger than Toronto's metro area, and I understand that we consider Cook County to be Chicago for all intents and purposes (I'm actually from Evanston). I'm only saying that the population of Toronto, as in the city itself ("within the city limits") is higher than the population of Chicago.

as someone who works in the intermodal/transport industy capital of the world. im glad this is not Detroit. farrrr from it.
Blake Jackson
Detroit murder rate: 43.5 Chicago murder rate: 15.1
Chicago barely even cracks the top 20 cities for homicide. Detroit is fucking second in the nation, with a murder rate almost three times higher than Chicago's.
Christian Gonzalez
*Also, this list is only including cities with a population of 250,000 or higher. If you include tiny shitholes like Flint and East St. Louis, Chicago doesn't even make the top 30.
