So Mac once again busting out his opinion that he would rather see the Cubs win the World Series than the White Sox. His reasons are that his wife and many friends haven't seen one and he would like them to, it's a big missing piece in general of the city's sports resume, etc.
Then people justifiably call him out on him insisting he's a Sox fan and still having this opinion, and his rebuttal is that he doesn't have the "second team complex" anymore, and that nothing would top '05, and that he doesn't care about the meatball "rivalry" between the fan bases.
I don't care about the crosstown bullshit either, and I also wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs win the WS. But I believe that it's basically impossible to call yourself a fan of a team without actually preferring that team to win the championship every year. So yeah, I wouldn't take away his Sox Fan Card for wishing the Cubs success, but I would take it away because if you don't want the Sox to win the WS, then you're not a Sox fan. It really is that simple.
Mac was a Cub fan in his youth and went thru 1969 so he switched.
He was never really a Sox fan in the truest sense.
