Pete Crow-Armstrong is continuing his blood feud with the Los Angeles Dodgers fanbase.
The Chicago Cubs star outfielder Crow-Armstrong spoke this week to Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times amid his team’s weekend series against the Dodgers. Crow-Armstrong was asked about his comments over the offseason taking shots at fans of the Dodgers.
The 24-year-old All-Star proceeded to double and triple down on his remarks dissing the Angeleno fanbase, particularly the bandwagon fans.
“What I wish people could see through is, I’m not getting at die-hard Dodger fans,” Crow-Armstrong said this week. “They obviously exist, they’re out there. I grew up seeing those people, too. But it’s a see-me city, man.
“It’s a Lakers city where people show up to sit courtside and look good,” added Crow-Armstrong. “And I view it the same way here. Thank you Shohei [Ohtani] and Freddie [Freeman] and Mookie [Betts] because it wasn’t always like this.”
Back in February, Crow-Armstrong started the hostilities by speaking out on the perceived differences between Cubs fans and Dodgers fans. Later that month, Crow-Armstrong proceeded to take more swipes at Dodgers fans over their history of bad behavior.
Crow-Armstrong is a Sherman Oaks, Calif. native who grew up attending a number of Dodgers games in the 2000s and 2010s. Thus, Crow-Armstrong feels that it makes him an authority on the changes in the fanbase over the years.
