Sports Pickle Study

If you enjoy reading satire sports humor, then the Sports Pickle is for you. I was reading it today and came across this article. It is older, but the concept still very much applies today. Here is a exert from the article:

“The media has only contributed to this problem,” said Dr. Kreager. “By harping on the years and years the Red Sox went without a championship as though it was some sort of national tragedy, Boston fans actually started to believe they were more important than fans from other cities and therefore deserved to win more. When in fact, all they were was fans of a crappy franchise.”

The rest of the aritcle is very entertaining as well.
