I was front and center as Mike Milbury and Charles Wang hobbled the Isles. I took Brooklyn off and am now headed to Belmont. I'm not sure the Isles were even in the NHL during that time you mentioned.

It should be noted, the Isles are Long Island's team.

Ya got one NY fan in another thread thinking this round of the MLB playoffs is 7 games, and you got this NY fan not thinking the Islanders have been around for the last 20 years.

I love that the NY fans are proving my point.

Bad teams, bad fans.

I'm very confused by the spirit of the thread, it's as if you have some sort of personal vendetta against the entire city of New York, its people and it's sports fans. I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of us are honest, hardworking people that just want to see our teams do well. We also happen to live in NY, which along with LA are probably the most widely covered cities from a media standpoint, and I fully agree the terrible NY sports teams should not receive the amount of coverage they get, however Gross generalizations of the people that live here and the fanbases of our sports teams is pretty lousy.

I'm not telling you what to do with your time, but I come to this place for an escape from reality, not to read people hurling insults about the entirety of our teams fanbases or its people. I'll excuse myself from this thread after this post, but it's been weighing on me for a bit of time, and I wanted to get it out there.

Chump teams? Definitely recently.

Chump fans? Hardly. New York fans can be obnoxious aholes, but each of the teams you've mention has a massive motivated fans base. Teams like the Yankees and Mets are among the most valuable sports franchises in the world? Why. Because of heir fanbases.

Many times watching the Mets this year it was clear there were more Mets fans at away games than local team fans. Lets go Mets chants everywhere. Believe me, we don't hear Let's Go Marlins or Let's Go Rockies chants in NY. I was in San Diego and there were 1000s of NYers in attendance who flew cross country (in a continuing pandemic) to cheer their team.

Most (not all players) consider playing in New York an immense career highlight. The fans are passionate beyond belief. Stupidly passionate at times. Tough when you lose but amazing when you win. Look at the 86 Mets documentary. Those guys are sports icons. As are people like Namath, Willis Reed, Jeter, Phil Sims, and many others. NY not for everyone or every player. Hardly chump fans. Like Chicago and Boston fans, highly engaged.

DOn't fed the troll, I get it, but if wasn't for the priceless 3 hours 40 times a year with my dad for those 20 years, I would say that paying costumers were the bad fans. Those that stayed home did not waste their money on a team where ownership showed very little interest in improving the on ice product. I went. I am happy about the time with dad. Watching Mariusz Czerkawski? Not so much...

Dude. What is your problem? I'm a Yankees fan, and I'm used to people being Yankees haters. But you don't have to apply your hatred to their fans. Do you really want to pick a fight with all the New York fans on this forum?

This thread was started by one guy hoping to get the exact reaction he got. Did you really think people wouldn't respond?

What's wrong with spending money to acquire free agents to try to win championships? If an owner is willing to do that, and it's within the rules, is he supposed to say, nah, I'd rather be like the Brewers??

And do you want to pick a fight with Rays and Brewers fans?

They are still playing.

Stanton and Cole are playing golf.

Take a punch without the hissy fit.

Some people get off on being dicks. How can you take a guy seriously when he calls himself P Diddy G?
