You shouldn't judge the entire Red Sox nation on a couple of lunatic fans. You of all people should know that considering some of the yahoos that show up here claiming to be Skins fans.
I was born and raised for 22 years in Boston around millions of Sox fans, and I'm telling you the majority are not like that.
I will tell you that people (including myself) always had the idea that we were cursed in the back of our minds, but when we lost we did not bitch and whine about it. Bucky Dent / Buckner / Little not taking Pedro out all sucked, but ultimately we always blamed the team for not coming through. Like Shiraldi and Stanley actually screwed us in the 86 series, Buckner was just the last thing to go wrong. There were plenty of fans that actually enjoyed the fact that the team lost cause they got to keep their persona, and that history alive. (I know it's stupid, but they did exist)
So no matter what team you have, there are always those few. But be careful labelling an entire fan base on a few. Otherwise, we skins fans could be the worst fans in the world in someone's eyes.
ps- no fans are more obnoxious than Yankee fans, and no fans are more viscious and rude than Phily fans. (just an FYI)
