Chicago White Sux

One of the AL's eight charter franchises, the White Sux dominated play in the early 20th century but the team's fortunes dropped precipitously after being involved in the greatest scandal in baseball history, the Black Sox Scandal. The Black Sox Scandal was the conspiracy to throw the 1919 World Series against the Reds. This led to the lifetime bans of 8 White Sux players and the installation of Kenesaw Mountain Landis as thye first commissioner. This team has continuously embarassed the city of Chicago with its bad promotions (Disco Night), incompetant management (1997 White Flag Trade), and wreckless fans. White Sux fans claim to know more about the Cubs' history than its own fans. This is true in many cases but as a die hard Cubs fan and getting into heated exchanges with Sux fans, I have come to realize that they make stats up frequently because many Cubs fans don't know otherwise. This bitter feeling many Sux fans feel usually results from a neglected childhood that forces them to settle for a team that identifies with their attitudes. For non-Chicago residents the way to identify a White Sux fan is as follows: they are usually a loner that keeps to himself until he attends a game where he feels the strength in numbers effect and proceeds to talk trash to visiting Cubs fans during the Crosstown Classic. They are usually uneducated, racist, and riddled with obscene tatoos. They reek of liquor as they are often unemployed and spent their welfare checks on alcohol.
