Gronk's life tips

Year in, Year out and still won't shut up about your hate for Boston. To all readers who think LBB is bitter, SoBoYuppie has been doing this for years. He long follow a pattern of loathing anything "low brow" for lack of better word. So he goes looking down at vast swaths of people for nothing more than an accent or their job, refuse to adopt local vernacular to imposing what he thinks should be used, somehow hold himself as both a "local" but flaunts at any chance of being form somewhere else as a sign of superiority, cheers at any gentrification development regardless of merit of the actual development, hold himself so self-righteously at his he cares about his neighborhood, and looks down to anything related to Bostonian sports.

Every year I write this and I'll write this again. You live in Boston. You don't have to like everything - including Bostonian sports. But stop hating. Being Anti-Patriots right now, Anti-Celtics/Bruins 4 months from now, Anti-Red Sox 8 months from now does not make you a better/superior person.

Also last time I check Allston and Dorchester are both with Boston's borders. You might not live there, but they are fellow Bostonians too. Hell, even if you said Quincy or Cambridge (but I'm sure you would never cite Cambridge despite its technically not Boston), you should stop hating on whole groups too.

Can't wait to repeat this again next thread we do for literally did the past 5 years.

I have family members who are sports fans and, as far as I am aware, I have yet to see them do all those things (well, maybe yell, but hey it is a game).

I lived in the West Fens for 11 years, SoBo. I understand more than you ever could about "obnoxious fans coming into our beautiful neighborhood". I understood that when I moved there. Whatever you experience from fans who, for whatever obscure reason, come to your neighborhood (which has no major sports arena anywhere near it) to watch a playoff game -- in other words, for three or four days a year -- is a pale imitation of what it's like living right near the ballpark. I know what the experience is, and I know that what you're complaining about. But your knee-jerk screeching about it as soon as the name of a sports team is mentioned, is nothing short of neurotic.

The fact is, you're a weird sort of parvenu. You move to Boston (are you sure you still live there?) and immediately declared yourself the Authority On All Things Boston, the sole arbiter of what is worthy and what sucks. If it wasn't (per your childish term) "sportsball", it would be something else. You're just a cranky againsty person and you make yourself look like a fool with this silly pose.

Yet?
