Friday Confessions: Dodgers fans are the worse
As a former die-hard Dodgers fan, I think I can speak with authority on this.
Forgive me D-Gen family for I have sinned. It’s been a week since my last confession.
I carry hate in my heart. I’m not proud of it, but I do.
I carry hate for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Not just for the disgusting way the organization continually raise prices on the fans. Not just because they continue to employee Doofus Dave Roberts, who stole Clayton Kershaw’s perfect game attempt. And it’s not just because they invite hateful groups to Dodger Stadium, and honor them as community heroes. There’s more to it than that.
It’s also because of annoying abnoxious fans. I can speak to this because I used to be one.
The Dodgers are an absolute juggernaut. They are willing to spend, I mean defer, a whole lot of money to build the ultimate superteam. The Celtics’ big three, The LeBron Heat teams, The Yankees of the late 90’s (which was mostly a home grown team BTW), and the Warriors of Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and company have nothing on these Dodgers.
But if you ask a Dodgers fan, they believe they are the Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas? A’s who somehow managed to squeak out a World Series “Against All Odds.”
To believe that the Dodgers were any kind of an underdog shows that you have a baseball IQ of -10.
They won the World Series, and did so convincingly. But don’t make more of it than it is.
The Dodgers bought, I should say defered, this championship. They were not the underdogs. They didn’t overcome any odds.
The Dodgers are goliath. The Dodgers are the irresistible force. They are the immovable object. They are not the underdog. They did not win “Against All Odds.”
