Not everyone loves the Red Sox

I MOVED to Boston from Cincinnati in May to start a new job and a new life. I thought Boston was filled with culture and history. The only thing I have heard about since I got here is the Red Sox. Don't people have anything else to talk about besides that?

Not only that, but I am expected to be a fan of the team just because I live here. Forget the fact that I lived somewhere else for more than 30 years, and I'm still fond of that team.

I am just so surprised that people around here don't have anything else to do in their lives except talk about and watch baseball. It is really making me hate Boston. Add to that the fact that I live on Boylston Street in the Back Bay. This week has proved to me how completely disrespectful Boston residents are of each other. I've witnessed people screaming, yelling, honking their horns at midnight during the middle of the week. I will be moving once my lease is up.

Don't people here get the fact that not everyone loves the Red Sox? I was never even given the chance to like them. As far as I'm concerned, Go Cardinals!
