So many people around here are so just...overly passionate about them. You know, they idiolize one particular player, the guy cant do a thing wrong in their eyes, then he changes teams a season later and he is now the antichrist. C'mon, did you like the player or just the fact that he played on the local team? Seems when you were wearing his shirt you obviously liked something about the guy..now you want to burn it? ok..
Probably the worst thing is the whole "Yankees suck" chants. If you want to cheer that at a Yankees game..ok fine. But, its done at concerts, amusement parks, bars, you name it. By the way, people that do that sound like morons because the Yankees dont really suck, they generally do pretty good...
PS, I am not a Yankees fan, but living around here year after year makes me want to be one. |
I know what you mean about people that freak out because their favorite player gets traded. I learned that shit back in the 80's when i used to idolize Erik Dickerson. Then he got traded to the Colts. i was like wtf. I was still very young. So i didnt understand what was really going on.
Alot of people dont understand that its just a business for the players. All it is, is work for them. The player could care less who they play for. There is a very very low number of players that actually care about the team they play for. Most of them are probably long time baseball superstars that play their whole career's in 1 city.
People are stupid though, they will never learn.
