hey no one is saying anything about not having fans that are BAD, the yankees are probably the team with the most bandwagon jumpers, hell everyone wants to be a yankees fan, but yankee fans do that to most everyone, kinda the NYC way
what i was talking about is the difference between red sox fans and yankee haters calling themselves red sox fans and giving true fans a bad name, i said earlier true red sox fans are passionate and yes they hate the yankes but they love the sox first
the people i was refering to couldnt name 3 or 4 red sox but know all the yankees they BOO, there not giving a message to kids to be red sox fans, but they are teaching them to hate the yankees, ever true fan on either side will admit they need each other, its part of what makes the rivalry so good boo and cheering is great but degrading players and fans is sending the wrong message
now that the sox finally won a championship they have people who dont really follow baseball going to just yankee games to beat up on the yankees, not to cheer the sox
heck, look at all the mets fans all of a sudden crawling out of the wood work
