We had our glory years, but not the CUBS. I can see the attraction to the other teams (ring winners.) The Cub thing is a co-dependency problem. Didn't Chuck say they are sickos?

Half the people in LA are latinos, why is this a surprise?

Cub's fans in general seem to have a touch of self loathing from all the losing...

It's always been a heavily Latino area, but they didn't come to the games in these numbers. I think when they started showing all the home games on T.V., they made a huge effort to gain Latino fans. They seem to know that the Latinos were more apt to actually go to the stadium (instead of just watch it on T.V.) They seem less apt to care if the team is good (I mean they will show up regardless.) That's how they have stayed popular (despite the poor product they sell.) So, Scav is correct to think we should have fewer fans now, but the reality is they have cleverly been able to overcome the poor play of the team. That's one of the reasons we don't get better (don't have to.)
