Why doesnt Chicago have any Pride when it comes to Sports? -

Chicago is the greatest city in the universe. But when it comes to Sports we have no pride and no desire to win. The fans and the media are so soft and never pressure teams to win. This is the one and only area where I wish we were more Like New York. How many times have we heard athletes in the major sports say that playing in Chicago is like a vacation as there is no pressure. But on the East coast or anywhere else, especially New York there is so much pressure to win from the fans and the media who actually care that you must go 100% in those cities. I just do not understand why we care so little about our sports team here in Chicago with the wimpy media and wimpy fans? Is it just no pride or what?

you just noticed that now? I have lived here my whole life and was always very disappointed by the sports fans and media here. that is why I started finding other teams to root for as Chicago just does not push teams to win, we just do not care enough or have enough pride here like they do in other places like NY. The media here is all friendly and soft, in NY they take no prisoners. same with the fans. We are after all the city of Lovable Losers and we are afraid to lose that title

It could be because they call them The Cubbies Its warm and cuddly and lacks the pizazz of like Astros -Yankees- PiratesThe Bears - Better but not like Steelers - Raiders - but meaner than DolphinsYet they have cool uniforms. I was a Dodger fan when I lived in LA and when they played the Cubbies it always lacked something......dynamic personalities and that plain C logo.. snore.
