Apparently, Boston is now the official number one most hated sports city in the United States. At least, that’s what some jerk from Philly seems to imply in his article published today for the Philadelphia Inquirer, entitled “Boston fans have become obnoxious.”

As if we weren’t already?

Now, granted, we do bring a bit of it onto ourselves. We have some of the most prominent bootleg T-shirt vendors of any sports town, trashing our opponents just as frequently as we support our cult heroes (remember that Bottom Line Sports did a new shirt for every round of the Bruins’ playoffs this year). And our de facto official city band, the Dropkick Murphys, reportedly decided to taunt the city of Vancouver by getting on stage to Queen’s “We Are The Champions” last night. Actually, we bring quite a lot of it onto ourselves, don’t we?

But that’s not the point. Here, sports world, are the top 10 reasons why we are obnoxious - and have every ------- right to be:

1. We’ve won championships with all four of our major sports teams in the past decade. Name one other city that has ever done that. You can’t. That’s right. Our teams have earned the right to have all the ------- confidence in the world, because we are perpetually fighting for championships.

2. If any other city had done that, it would be just as ------- arrogant about it. But nope. New York will always have to deal with the mediocrity of the Knicks, Los Angeles is watching the Dodgers trickle down the -------, Chicago’s got the Cubs, and Philadelphia was suffering through a 25-year championship drought not too long ago before the Phillies finally won one. So yeah. Nobody’s even close.

Tacos for supper tonight! Yeah!

3. Boston is host to two of the greatest, most passionate rivalries in sports. Red Sox-Yankees in baseball and Bruins-Canadiens in hockey are about as storied as it gets in either of those sports. And, well, Celtics-Lakers is up there too, given their competition for most titles in NBA history. Hell, even Patriots-Jets and Patriots-Colts have gotten pretty damn good in the past decade. When you think “great sports rivalries,” you simply cannot avoid us.

I love the smell of sunscreen and swimming pool water on your skin.

Here at last, the movie that blows all others off the screen. BLAMMO! With everything today's die-hard action adventure fans demand. No plot. No characters. Just explosions. Lots & lots of explosions!

4. The four best players (perhaps) in the history of all of the four major sports have come through Boston. Babe Ruth in baseball, even though he did most of his heavy lifting as a damned Yankee. Bill Russell, the man after whom the NBA’s playoff MVP is named, in basketball. Bobby Orr, the greatest defenseman to ever play the game, in hockey. And while this one might be a bit more easily debated, the Patriots still employ one Tom Brady, three-time Super Bowl winner and the only unanimous NFL MVP of all time, behind center.

5. The game’s best players now want to come to Boston to win championships. That’s why the Red Sox have employed Adrian Gonzalez, Victor Martinez, and Carl Crawford in the past couple years. It’s why Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen came to town. It’s why the Patriots almost always have a former star wide receiver, like Randy Moss and Torry Holt, on their team. And it’s why Tomas Kaberle wanted to come to the Bruins.

6. Boston doesn’t simply waltz into its championships, it earns them. The 2001 Patriots started the trend by defeating the Greatest Show on Turf, the Kurt Warner-led St. Louis Rams, in that season’s Super Bowl. We all remember the 2004 Red Sox coming back from 3-0 against the Yankees in the ALCS. And this year’s Bruins became the only NHL team to ever win three Game 7s in one playoffs.

7. Something about this city turns coaches into champions, too. Neither Terry Francona, nor Doc Rivers, nor Claude Julien, nor even Bill Belichick walked into this city with a strong reputation for winning. All will walk out of it as heroes, coveted by any coachless team if they don’t choose to retire with their current teams. But it’s not because they started with all of those great players.

8. Boston begins its title runs by building teams, not buying them. The 2001 Patriots were a collection of no-names that requested introduction into the Super Bowl as a team. The 2004 Red Sox, the “idiots,” were a collection of half solid players, half discarded ones from other teams; now the Sox develop many of their own top players, like Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury. This year’s Bruins were mostly homegrown players, whether they were draft picks for the team or their careers blossomed here. And while he still can’t draft worth a ----, Danny Ainge did a fantastic job assembling the right role players on the 2008 Celtics.

9. Boston’s captains become cult heroes in this city like nowhere else in America. The sacrifices that Jason Varitek and Paul Pierce have made for the Red Sox and Celtics, respectively, need no recounting. Zdeno Chara, to his credit, has blossomed into a magnificent leader on the Bruins, and now can say that he is only the second European captain to ever raise the Stanley Cup. And his accomplishments on the field are so significant, his leadership qualities so strong, that we can forgive Tom Brady his Ugg endorsement.

10. Finally, we leave you with this, fans of other cities’ sports teams. We in Boston are simply better than you. Why? Because sports embody the blue-collar work ethic of this city. Even in the face of great droughts, we knew that we would eventually win, and we did. And we will continue to do so. Because our teams will outwork you. They will outhit you. They will outplay you. And we, as their fans, are the most passionate in all of sports. We stick by our guys, thick and thin, unless they turn on us. We keep showing up to every game. We don’t feel entitlement to lazy championships. And if you were us - if you were somehow lucky enough to ever be in our shoes, in your suddenly hard-working lunch-pail city - then you would want to ------- show it off to the world, too.

In conclusion, yeah, we’re obnoxious, because we’re winners. Each and every one of us. Now lay off with the jealous whining and work harder, and maybe you can unseat us. But not without a fight.
