Such deep sentiment has been a burden for Bosox players over the years. So to insulate themselves from that kind of pressure, this Red Sox squad cultivated an attitude better suited to its needs: staggering immaturity. They sported hairdos of unknown origin, beginning with Series MVP Manny Ramirez, whose locks spilled out of his hat like they were trying to abandon ship. The players treated every game as though it was, well, a game. They were the polar opposites of their rivals from New York (no facial hair, no fooling, no fun). They were the anti-Yankees...
...selection of 240 badges from its roughly 12,000-item international collection. Coins and medals curator Philip Attwood says the exhibition, "Status Symbols: Identity and Belief on Modern Badges," provides "a quirky look at moments in world political history."

Because if city of origin is the true litmus test of fan-dom, then I have to call myself out.Though I graduated from high school in Boston—well, Brookline, but close enough—I actually grew up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. before moving to Boston after my freshman year of high...
While it is true that insults such as “suck” and “swallow” have been incorporated into everyday speech to the point where, in certain contexts, their origin meaning is lost. This is not one of those contexts. The reference to oral sex rings loud and clear. How much more explicitly homophobic must a slogan be before it is no longer acceptable. What about “Yale and Jeter are cock-suckers,” or “Yale and Jeter are fags”—does everyone...
