Now first off, Yankee fans, you might roll your eyes and say 'Really?"
But think about it: whenever some dude comes through your season thread hatin', or comes through the World Series thread hatin', you can redirecthim... here.
Now then...
*depressed*
Congrats to all classy New York fans, on and off NT.
But the classless fans, and the New York Yankees themselves celebrating a championship makes me... ill.
What's classless?
- THE BANDWAGON FAN
"I've been a fan since way back in the Randy Johnson days, son. Trust me, I've put my time in. I grew up onthe Yankees. I still remember when we signed A-Rod."
Wow? You can remember that far back, to just a few years ago? Good for you.
- THE ELITIST FAN
"Man, it's been soooo long!! Nine years of waiting was just too much!!"
Nine years? NINE YEARS?! The Angels won the World Series in 2002. I was LITERALLY born an Angel fan (my dad's assignment as a police officer when I wasborn was the dugout police officer for the California Angels). I was born in 1977. If nine years was this HUUUUGE eternity for you, imagine the emotionaldisarray you'd be in after TWENTY-FIVE YEARS! And some teams have gone longer than THAT, and they're STILL waiting. Nine years?!
- THE FAKE
"Oh my god, I'm so glad A-Rod finally got a ring his first time in the playoffs!"
"C.C. is so dominant! He was the steal of this year's draft! How come no one else wanted him, though?"
"FINALLY, Pettite gets a ring with the Yankees!"
"Rivera is the MAN! Just cuz he's old and can't start anymore doesn't mean a thing to him! Best closerEVER!! And used to be the best starter back in the day, too.
"
"I'm glad Jeter gets another ring, but when's he going to get an WS MVP? I That has to suck a little bitfor him, having all those championships, but watching other Yankees be the MVP."
- THE DISRESPECTFUL __________ (insert 'BANDWAGONNER, 'ELITIST', or 'FAKE')
"Look, pal, my grandfather's grandfather came over from Scotland... JUST to be a Yankees fan. Say one more wordand I swear on his Yankee grave I'll beat your face in."
"Yeah, I've waited nine years for this. It's not my fault your team sucks, you candy-a__ chump. You want tomake some' of it?"
"Hell yeah I remember when we traded Clemens and Giambi for Matsui. You callin' me a liar?! I'll bust yourdamn head, wiseguy."
Do bandwagonners, fakes, elitists, and disrespectful idiots exist among other fanbases? Oh GOD yes. I'd say some teams have more of the disrespectful fansthan other teams, but they still exist in all team's fanbases.
And I hate that THOSE guys ever get to experience a championship, regardless of who the team is.
But I especially hate when that team is... the Yankees. As long as I've been alive, they've notoriously grabbed other team's All Stars inmultiples. So what if it hasn't worked out to a World Series title every year, every other year, or even every 3rd year? The point is... from Boggs toTeix... so many stars from other teams have been Yankees, and it's not fair that other team's can't spend the same way. You put A-Rod, Teix, Jeter,CC, Pettite, Matsui, and Rivera on ANY team, and that team makes a deep playoff run. But not every team can afford that kind of payroll.
So props to you bkmac, HTTB, Fanatic, briannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, nyc buk, true blue, the guy with the shrimp avatar, and anyone else who knowsthat I should be mentioning them right now but I've just forgotten: enjoy your team's 27th.
*back to hoping for my team's 2nd*
