Also, just thought I'd add that NYC and Chicago have virtually the same diversity of bro types. Sports bros, yacht bros, flannel bros, finance bros, etc... Wrigley bros aren't the only kind that exist in this city.

This is the only real substantial point that needs to be made about this story.

But how will I feel morally superior to strangers, Ari? How will being a tactful human being fulfill that need?!

Oh, but if we could do that, what would we do with all our leftover self righteousness?

YES! I was going to say they forgot corn holing for Chicago Bros hobbies ;)

I've lived in Chicago almost my whole life and the bros that lived next door to me for a few years who spent way too much time playing this infernal game in a vacant lot next door to my two-flat always called it 'bags'.

Hahaha! Yes!

Bros Kick-Ball everywhere. Damn, running late for league...

It's called "Bags."

agree with the "cornhole"... but a true Chicago bro calls it "bags"

U mean bags, bro?

I'd say the Chicago Bro description is accurate. Definitely should've mentioned cornhole/bags, and the Cubs hat with the alternate logo, where it's a white cub holding a bat, but it actually looks like the cub is about to go mining.

They also don't venture much beyond a rectangle bound by Irving Park, Southport,

Chicago bro is a diehard Cubs fan but can't tell you how they're doing this year. Clearly cares more about fantasy football than his girlfriend of a year. Loves "living in the city" but gets a dad hard on whenever he visits his boss's house in Schaumburg.

I would also point out the important exception to the ALMA MATTER ONLY rule: If he went to Miami of Ohio (and a disproportionate number did), he may well wear an Ohio State t-shirt.

Huge shoutout to Gawker Media's undersung graphics geniuses Jim Cooke and Sam Woolley for laboring over that map. They're both amazing, glorious people and I'd probably be dead without them.

It's a split depending on where said Chicago bros are originally from (because none are from Chicago). Indiana/ Ohio transplants? Corn hole. Upper Midwest? Bags (but yes, pronounced begs). I think downstate Illinois is split, but now I want to go to Wrigley on Friday when the Cubs get back and ask all said bros.

BROS KICKBALL IN CHICAGO TOO!

I thought Chicago bros called cornhole "bags" (/"begs")!

Chicago bro plays cornhole in the street.

D.C. Bro's hobbies should include more league activities. Softball, bocce, beer pong, horseshoes — D.C. Bro is already registered in advance for all of the fun his summer can handle, and he helped design the tshirt. Isn't this a hilarious tshirt? Do you even kickball, bro?
