The city of boston is completely obsessed with the yankees. They chant yankees suck at Celtics Patriots and Bruins games. You won't hear "boston sucks" or "red sox suck" at any new york venue beside yankee stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok-have it your way- Do not point out the hypocrisy of Yankee fans on this board. From hereon out, Only Yankee fans can talk about the Yankees, and when other fans talk about the Yanlkees, they will be branded as jealous and obsessed. When Yankee fans do that, it will be "keeping an eye on teh competition". Very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good Scott you're so melodramatic. 80 posted a Boston article about the Yankees and how the Red Sox are worried about them. How exactly does that make him a hypocrite? As he said he simply came across the article and was hardly scouring the pages of the Boston Globe. You're just trying to build something out of nothing.

Yes, it is only ME making a mountain out of a "mohill". I never said I hate all Yankee fans. Some I do.
