A quick note about this first paragraph: everything below it is way too important to bother looking up facts (or this paragraph isn’t that important, same thing).
About a week or so ago, I think it was Alvin Reid of maybe the Globe-Democrat, or the Belleville Whatever Thing (oh, and Donnybrook!) wrote an article about the newish* $19.95 Cardinals Nation club (*I think it’s been offered for a while). A day or two later, some guy from some website expanded a bit on that topic over at insidestl.com.
The fine readers of InsideSTL had a polite rebuttal to said article, explaining their disagreement on how much of a deterrent Cardinals Nation would be to their every day lifestyle, if they happened to participate.
But now, going forward – no matter what they say – there will be no dispute as to which club kicks ass, and which “Nation” needs to go to Suck Rehab and fight their suck demons of sucktitude.
As a quick reminder, here are the perks you get for your $19.95 to join Cardinals Nation:
- Membership Card from the Cardinals
