The Tartan Army exemplifies how sports serve as a vital vessel for communal identity and joy, independent of the final score. Portnoy’s appreciation underscores the enduring power of organic fan culture in an era of hyper-commercialized athletics.

Dave Portnoy Loves The Tartan Army
Added:I'm caught in World Cup fever, largely because of the Scots. The Tartan Army.
The Tartan Army is turning Boston upside down. No Scotland, no party. Even when we lose, we win, we win, we win. These chants, they're at Fenway. It's the first time the Red Sox game the crowd has been in an upbeat mood all season. I almost want to go now as a USA fan to a different country as opposed watching what the Tartan Army does and how they're experiencing the city. This country invading. I will definitely be in on the United States. I saw some guy from the Tartan Army who has come over like I want to interview Dave Port. I'm debating going. I don't know when the Tartan Army is playing next, but these guys are literally walking through the streets of Boston with bagpipes and just singing. It looks like the time of your life.
>> I saw the I saw the one tweet where somebody said somebody Scotland fans rented this house next to me at 6:30 a.m. they're outside playing bagpipes.
>> [laughter] >> That's got to be amazing.
>> I guess the Scots I didn't know. The Scotland Now this is one of those questions if you ask I think most Americans is Scotland good at soccer? I would assume the answer be yes because this seems like one of those like English teams that but they apparently stink and haven't been in the World Cup in a long time. So not only did they get in the World Cup, they score a goal and they got this Tartan Army marching. They're everywhere. And it's funny because a lot of things they're doing I do. They're like really like dumb little Boston like tourist trap things. But they're having the time of their life doing it no matter what it is. So I got to get involved with the Tartan Army. I'm going to have to get off this island a little bit and visit them at some point.
