That grates on me. I am a Cardinal fan and that follows me wherever I go.
But not for a moment that gives me some kind of superiority.....
When the cheering is over, Cardinal fans go back to their little corners of their stratified and segregated world.
I meet people all over the place from 'St. Louis' and they say they're from Ballwin or Chesterfield...and then I say "WEll, I'm from Granite City...!" Then in a subdued tone... "Yeah, I know where that is..."
Where it is, is where they will never know a thing about.
So I just keep it to following a team and leave it at that....Cardinal fans have their class characters and their jerks --- just like Tigers fans, or Padres fans, or even Rays fans... and some Cardinal fans will not give other fellow Cardinal fans the time of day.
LEt's not forget where Cardinal Country is and where people go home to....or avoid.
