The Newest Fad on the Block

[Heretic121]

Today i went into work downtown (in Newport) which is still a big tourist spot even in the winter months because of all the cruise ships going around. Well i come in today to see something that i was very afraid of...

I walk into work like any normal day, say hi to the manager and whoever else is working, walk into the back punch in and come back out to see what work he has for me in the shed. While I'm walking back to the counter from the back i look on the shelves and see the Boston Red Sox shirts almost sold out... i then proceed to walk upfront and see that most of the hats we sell only have one or two left. This is the one reason i am regretting to be a Boston Red Sox fan right now.

This next week or two is going to be hell for any Red Sox fan for the fact that most people seen with a Boston hat or shirt will automatically be called a poser, especially in New England. Just for the 2 hours i was working, i saw about 15 shirts sold and about 20 hats sold, and this was out of about 30+ customers i saw. I found this a disgrace to the Red Sox fans, especially how passionate we are about our team, and would do anything to see them win a World Series, and now we have a chance. But for me as a Born and Raised New Englander (Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots), It is hard for me to take a lot of people seriously about this whole thing.

I just want to say that if the Red Sox do win the World Series, I will almost be ashamed to be a Red Sox fan because our team will be tainted by posers and non baseball fans who call themselves apart of Red Sox Nation just because they wear the merchandise and root for the team BECAUSE they won the WS. This is the only reason i want to see the Astro's take it all (if they win) to see Clemens again in Boston, and to see the Stro's win their first ever MLB Championship.
