Joe there’s nothing wrong in feeling pride in your hometown but that does not mean that other people from other places don’t feel the same way about theirs, you sound like a typical NYer, being a NYer is like being a Yankees fan its way too easy its like being force fed chocolates but more does not equal better I am proud to be a Cubs fan yes they have not won it all in over a century but sometimes life is hard for some and when i was young that summer when the Cubs were especially awful (yeah i know there were a lot of those) and that other team in town was having a good year unlike my brothers i did not jump ship sometimes life is not about having it all its about appreciating what you do have.
