"Boston Is a Brotherhood"

Usually, the T-shirts teams distribute to fans at playoff games, so everyone in the crowd is "united" by the same color, are quite lame. The slogans are silly and we don't really need a T-shirt to confirm our faith in a team, do we? Can't we cheer as loudly in our jeans and the shirt we walked in wearing?

But the one the Celtics gave to fans at their first two home games, with the slogan that is this post's title, rings very sincere and very true, even if it is an Adidas creation. Living in Boston requires something, some bond, some brotherhood, no? I find myself saying "Boston is a brotherhood" to myself for no apparent reasons these days. (Not the first time this has happened with incongruous phrases.) The strange things sports do to you, I suppose.
