Why they might be annoying:

    Their 1998 Major League Soccer Cup win was completely overshadowed by the Bulls winning the NBA Finals, Sammy Sosa hitting 66 home runs, and the Cubs winning the NL Wild Card.
    They are named after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
    Before getting their own stadium, they shared the same stadium as the NFL Chicago Bears which was entirely too large for their attendance.
