With all of things being said about Boston fans lately, I had to make a comment on the situation myself. First off, I'm sure by now Mike Bibby has learned his lesson. I don't really have anything against the guy, but come on. You don't say things like that. It shows true ignorance. Boston fans are never, "fair weather fans." We truly care about our teams and players no matter what. Sure, it is nice to win, but the Garden will always be packed, and the people at Fenway will always be singing "Sweet Caroline."
It is extremely insulting for anyone to even suggest that the only reason Boston has so many fans is because they are winning. I for one feel personally insulted. Last year, and every year of my life for the most part, I had watched almost every single Celtics game. I cheered and yelled and stood by those players even when they lost 18 straight games, and I know thousands of people did that with me. And, think about the Red Sox. Boston waited 86 years to win a championship and the fans were faithful the whole time.
All in all, people will say what they want about the Boston fans, but the only reason they make fun of us is simple- they're jealous. They know we have a true passion for sports whether it be football, baseball, basketball, or even hockey (yes, there are many Bruins fans). The past few years have been amazing. The Patriots have won, the Red Sox have won, and now that the Celtics have made the greatest turn-around in NBA history, people don't like it. Well, you know what, it's time for the Celtics, and if people don't like it too bad. It's our turn this year, and we would love nothing more than to celebrate a 17th championship.
