Yankees Suck
Mark, you're welcome. Obviously, I disagree with you. I find the chant of "Yankees suck!" during any random gathering of New Englanders to be a wonderful bonding kind of moment.
It's fun to hate the big, bad Yankees. Where's the sport in hating the Red Sox? As Bill Simmons says, rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for the house in blackjack.
I do understand not liking some of the fans. They are represented by a brillo-haired doofus named Dan Shaughnessy, who one week builds the team up to be of mythic proportions, only to preach doom and gloom when the lofty expectations set by himself and a few other nitwits do not come to fruition. "This is the year!" is followed by "They betrayed us." This guy invented "the Curse of the Bambino" and has helped a league of would-be neutral people across the country detest the Sox. Are the Sox actually cursed by Dan? If nothing else their fans certainly are.
