Not you specifically, but in general, yes. Do you deny that there is a certain arrogance and sense of entitlement that comes with being a Yankee fan? If you read Marvin's message about Cowboy fans, would you say it's the same attitude, oftentimes? >Lets get things straight. I inherited my Yankee fandom memetically >from my Dad. I have been with them through thick and thin. I'm sure you have. That's where some folks get their loyalties. But would you agree there's plenty of front-runner Yankee fans as well? > The stuff here is a light hearted joke. > Yankee fans do not go around calling themselves "America's Team". (The term Yankee says it all - we are america). Case in point. :) > For the most part Yankee fans are pretty civil. If you listent to >WFAN you will have to admit it the METS fans who are crazy. Piazza >has a bad game and they want to dump him. They crazy in their hatred >of the Yankees. I agree to that. There's some serious envy on Mets fans' part. > This particular Yankee team is actually one of the most enjoyable >group of athletes I have ever had the pleasure to root for. They are >complete professionals. No temper tantrums. If you set aside Paul O'Neill, who can act like a baby when he strikes out, and Roger Clemes, who's a mental case, you are correct. But then, my theory was that there's nothing wrong with the Yankees, but with their fans. They're a good team, no question. And I will say this: There haven't been any riots over winning a championship in NYC these past few years unlike in other cities, which I think surprised a lot of people. Doesn't mean I have to like them. :-) Jim _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/
