What the hell kind of fluff piece is this?

Sox Fans Reach Top Levels In Washington???

Arnold Fege's office at the Public Education Network is adorned with a picture of old Comiskey Park. He drives a car into work from Virginia every day adorned with a Sox sticker and license plate.

"I do whatever I can to try to identify myself as one of those South Side renegades," he says. "But it's tough. This is the first time I've received any recognition since 1959."

Teams like the Cubs, Yankees and Red Sox are known to have far-reaching fan bases. Finding like-minded White Sox fans in Washington has been difficult. But with the team reaching its first World Series in 46 years, fans away from Chicago are getting their chance to prove there is a White Sox Nation.

"This is a big moment for us," said Fege, a native Chicagoan who moved to Washington as a lobbyist in 1980. "The Post hardly every even carries a box score or recognizes the White Sox are alive. And on cable, if it's not the Cubs, it's Boston or New York."

WHO GIVES A SHIT!?!?!?!

3. Some people do.

Because you don't care, doesn't mean other people don't care. The only reason that this isn't as big a story as the Red Sox last year is because the Yankees weren't involved. There are many people who care about baseball, and I am sure that they look at some of the politcal coverage and say the same thing, who gives a shit.

4. It doesn't warrant news coverage.

Especially not on the FRONT PAGE OF YAHOO!!!!

It's a fluff piece in the age of instant infotainment.

I am a huge baseball fan. I coach it. But this isn't news! It. . .It blows!
