Rich:
 
  While I am not Brad, I think the best thing to do is to let this play out and let the scoreboard do the talking.  Because look at it this way, even if the White Sox lose today, they were in the playoffs one day longer than the Cubs.
 
  You may also want to consider some parenting classes.  Note that my teenage son is an over-the-top Packer Fan, which amply demonstrates good upbringing.
 
Signed,
 
Proud Northbrook Father.

	Dear Brad, 

	I am a White Sox fan.  My teenage son is a Cubs fan.  I've tried to be open-minded and allow him to express himself -- I assumed that this is just one of those teenage things that I'm going to need to continue to deal with.  I don't want to be one of those parents who imposes his beliefs on his kids only to see them anrgily rebel and tear at the fabric of our family.  Today, my child told me that all he cares about at the moment is hoping that Tampa Bay beats the White Sox.  Perhaps I have been in denial too long.  What should I do? Where should I draw the line?

	Signed, 

	An Anguished Glencoe Father
