Let me give you a different perspective as I attend Rangers games quite frequently.
Unlike some of your winning clubs like Red Sox, Yankees etc, our Rangers are pretty much awful. We have never won a Pennant.
Thus, what has happened to the Rangers is that the type of people we get to our games is VERY different than the type of people I have seen in ORD, BOS or NYC. In those cities you get a good mix of team fanatic men and families.
With us it is mostly families. We almost resemble a Minor League baseball team in our atmosphere. Lots of young families with tons of small kids. Half empty stadium. People there mostly to show their kids a good time and build bonding time with them.
As such, you can well imagine, our attitude in the ballpark is well like it would be if you were at a Disney park. We think of this as a family place and a young kids place.
So a word like “suck” (which definitely many of us in the South find cheap and tacky) is definitely out of place here.
Not trying to sound too goody goody and Christiany here. Just giving you an alternate view.
Cheers!
This Red Sox fan would be very happy with Derek Jeter at Short Stop for us.
And by all means, if you take your family to Europe....do NOT take them to a soccer game. The chants the fans say for their rivals makes Yankees-Red Sox look like Romper Room.
