Before I post I will say that this is my last post in this thread because it is Christmas eve and also there is no reasoning with Yankees fans who have it engrained in their minds that they are supposed to win every year no matter what the cost. The jealousy defense that they are taught on day one of brainwashing 101 is a laughable defense. They are a fan of a team that they chose to root for. They werent forced to root for that team and the same thing goes for every one else who roots for any other team. No one is handed a hat of their team as theyre leaving the womb and has guys in suits stop by their house every March 15th to make sure theyre still rooting for that team. No one in their right mind can be jealous of a choice made out of free will. So if you root for a certain team then you cant be jealous of someone who roots for another team,its no possible.

Even when you try to reason with Yankee fans and say hey wake up,you pay for their mistakes,Carl Pavano,Kevin Brown and Jaret Wright still cost you money everytime you buy something Yankee related,it goes right over their head. Its engrained brainwashing,win at any cost,even if I'm the one paying extra for it when in reality I shouldn't have to. The owners of the team have money to spend because the fans are forced to pay their prices if they want to see them. They arent spending their own money on the team,they are spending your hard earned money. The Yankees couldn't charge the prices they do and spend 80 million on payroll,the stadium would get burned down by angry fans. They can apparently make it less family friendly and more corporate friendly and still make tons of money and get away with it though.

I'll never be jealous of a store bought team that can't actually remember what it was like to win a world series so they feel the need to keep trying to buy one. Winning the series now for them would be like an adult winning a 3rd grade spelling bee. Sure you could lose but if you win,what did you really accomplish?
