If there’s a better example of an athlete misreading a fan base more than Tim Anderson has misread White Sox fans, I’m not aware of it.
Sox fans are a lot of things, and I’ll get into specifics in a moment, but if I had to come up with one phrase to describe them, it would be “brutally blunt.’’ And I’d choose “brutally’’ as an adjective only because this is a family publication. They’ll support their team through thick and thin, but they won’t be shy about assigning blame for the thin.
