Will You Watch the Sox-Less World Series?
In recent years women fans, especially in New England, have been touting themselves as being just as fervent fans as men.
Of course many old-time fans who suffered with losing Boston teams from 1918 until 2003 have looked down their noses and labeled many of these women as "band wagon jumpers." The term "pink hat fans" was coined by the media to describe women fans who sit at Fenway and in their living rooms wearing pink Red Sox hats.
Well, tonight the 2008 World Series gets underway, and I was just wondering what the ratings will be like throughout New England. How psyched are old-time Sox fans to watch the Tampa Bay Rays play the Phillies . Probably not too psyched, but I would guess that many will still stay up to watch the Series.
As for the "pink hat fans," my guess is that many of them will not even be aware that there will be a baseball game televised this evening.
Or am I just being sexist?
