There is no such thing as a "Southern" Red Sox fan. If the Yankees win tonight, I guarantee that everyone in a DC bar cheering for the Red Sox to win tonight will be cheering for the Marlins. They aren't cheering for the Red Sox to win, they are cheering for the Yankees to lose. Quite simply, Washington is an old American League city and the baseball fans there have largely shifted their alliances to the Orioles - and in every American League city except for New York, the second most popular team is whoever is playing the Yankees. My guess is in Washington, you're mainly dealing with Orioles fans who hate the Yankees. Or perhaps Braves fans - because Atlanta was long the only team in the Southeast and their AAA team is in Richmond, they have a strong following in the Commonwealth.
I know the Washington Post published a list of bars that cater to fans of out of town football teams. Quite simply, you need to go to a bar that caters to transplanted New Yorkers or New Englanders.

While I know that the Southern red sox fans are really just anti yankees, they were proactively chering the sox. the reason I hate them is that
1) The people who annoy the shit out of me are southern. They are not O's fans. If they even watch baseball at all and arent doing what their boyfriends and /or the crowd is telling them, they are Braves fans. Braves are a different league.
2) If you ask one of these southern nitwits why they are rooting against the yankees, they will say one of two things
#1 they are *yankees*. Guess what , mental midget, the Red Sox are yankees and the yankees are not. Go soak your hair in bleach and paint your fingernails. Suck my dick. get out of the bar. Something. Just make yourself useful.
#2. The payroll. The Yanks are buying the world series. Oh really, Shari Lou? Then why are you rooting for the Braves who do the same thing, but with a lot fewer rings to show for it? Go sit in some flattering lighting and wait for your man to come home. And suck my dick with your pink lipsticked lips.
Do you have a link to the Post article?
