Who Hates the Yankees?

[austintx05]

I just think it's funny when Yanks fans point out the success the franchise had in the early 1900s. So your team was a perennial power 90 years ago. Great.

Not sure what the Red Sox even have to do with the topic of this thread, but I guess it's inevitable that a Yankees thread would bring a mention of the Sox.

BTW, neither team is winning shit this season.

well yankees have the most rings of any franchise, but aside form that, Boston fans have the arrogance that they are better. Well proof is in the pudding.

Red sox won titles in 2007, 2004 then 1918 give me a fukkin break

Generation? Better look up the definition because the Yankees still have more titles in a generation.

You can't say decade because Yankees still have more.

You might want to say since 2000.

Who said the Sox have more championships this generation? I certainly didn't. Just pointing out the "26-7" argument is a bit skewed when considering recent history as a result of the Yanks' dominance from 1923-1953. And who's arguing that the Yanks haven't been the more successful franchise?

FWIW, I'm not a fan of either team but the Red Sox are more annoying because of their fans.

If you say so. Gotta love narrow-minded thinking such as this.

Truth hurts. Boston fans are the most arrogant, annoying people out there. The only people who don't think so are the ones who live there. Deal with it, it's a fact.

Based on my experience, Yankees fans are more arrogant than any others, and for good reason whether you're talking 'recent history' or 'all-time.' Red Sox fans are the biggest knee-jerk reactionaries I've ever been around, and I know Red Sox and Mets fans who hate the Yankees more than they love their own team, so that also makes them the more envious fans.

I grew up rooting for Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski before Texas even had major league baseball, for what that's worth.

Doesn't hurt at all. I could give two shits what some guy on a gambling forum thinks. However, classifying an entire fanbase as a whole is moronic.

I love how you present your opinion as a fact. Brilliant stuff. I can do that as well - all Texans wear tight Wrangler jeans, cowboy hats, snakeskin boots and ride around on horses. It's a fact.

Just wondering how many people on the SBR are Yankees haters?

Cash i'm a Yanks fan just like you but you need to consider the fact that the Yanks are also the most hated team in baseball. We stick together & hope that our pitching comes through.

rj, you have crossed the line now.

Amen.

I am one Yanks fan who doesn't hate the Red Sox but can't stand today's Mets. I greatly respect the good that the entire Yankee/Red Sox rivalry does for baseball and while I always say that i'm anti Boston when they are in the big games I don't necessarily find myself sad anymore when they win. Also, while I don't think it's always the case, there are many instances where the facts are right in front of Yanks fans to jump on. Besides the Montreal Canadians who practically owned hockey for years no North American sports team has been as dominant as NYY.

[Immortality]

I hate the Yankees and all the other New York teams in all sports.

Only time I would root for a New York team is when the Giants or Jets play the Raiders. I cannot stand the Chokeland Faiders more than any team.

Apparently you do care, hence the need to reply. I stated my opinion. I read several forums and I do notice the threads regarding the Pats and Red Sox from Boston posters. I am giving my opinion based on what I have read.

It bothers you.

Presenting your opinion as a fact is what I objected to.

So you're garnering your opinion on an entire region based upon what you read on various internet gambling sites?

Yep, and you people also talk funny.

Yankees all the way, 26 to 7 and theyll keep adding on. Bad weekend though!!! overpaid A-rod --- GO YANKS!!!

As Comedian Doug Stanhope said: "F*$! the Yankees... It's like cheering for the house in Vegas." Great comedy bit and so true.

Yankee fans have to be the most fair weather low-class fans in all of sports. I used to go to yankee stadium in the early 90s/late 80s. The place was a mausolium. I'd go on Friday nights with a dime bag and a couple sandwiches and sit in the bleeders - and NO ONE was there.

I'd cheer against them and talk trash the whole time and no one said anything - until Torre arrived and they started to win. Some of the things out of people's mouths was ridiculous. "blah blah fifty billion championships". Yeah, too bad those dolts talking trash, like me, weren't even alive when they got most of them. "I saw highlights of Joe D on ESPN". Mmmmhmm.

The funniest moment was a trash talking contest in the late 80s. Someone said: Wait til Mattingly gets off the DL - the retort: Yeah, and wait til Luis Polonia gets out of jail!

I have to admit, being a lifelong Yankee hater and going to Wankee Stadium so many times is kind of ironic - but it was still cheap baseball when the Mutts were out of town, in a time when tickets and parking didn't require a week's salary. I do have to say, however, Yankee Stadium has a special something about it no other venue (other than MSG) quite captures when the team is winning. When they're losing, the Stadium looks like what it really is: The asshole of the Big Apple.

Let's live in this generation, please.

Thanks.

Thank you!!

Boston fans spent what, 86 years losing? Let us be arrogant. We've earned it. I also have a feeling that you're lumping Pats fans with Sox fans. They are two completely different breeds.

[swede96]

Yep, and you people also talk funny.

Watch your mouth or I'll punch you in it wicked hahd!!!

Who Hates the Yankees?

Most people from 49 states! The same folks that hate the Cowboys, Lakers and Notre Dame.

True enough.....I'd also add the Celtics. Not as many titles of course, but 8 championships in a row is just bloody ridiculous.....

Thanks Sporty.....Probably not the best thread to point out that I've been a RedSox fan since 1975, but then again I don't hate the Yankees at all. If anything, I respect them. Their history is a great read.....

Go Penguins.....
