Same basic formula (with a few changes, of course) can probably be applied to Yankees fans.

x-bot: the point is the Yankees are baseball. The mets/boston fans are anti-fans who hate the Yankees more than they like their own team. you are probably a met fan. as far as notre dame, there is no comparison of this team with the Yankees. the Yankees have more world series championships than any team in baseball by far. 16 to be exact. they are awesome in every decade and their fans are the most knowledgeable about baseball. sorry that you are a met fan and hate to see excellence, professionalism, class.

Yes, most knowledgeable, not the bandwagon fans which every team has. I'm talking about the real Yankee fans. Let's face it, New York is a baseball town and they love it. There is still more talk going on now about baseball than all of the other sports combined. I think met fans and boston fans are really knowledgeable as well, but their bitterness clouds their judgement at times. kinda like today's democrats. haha.

X-Bot? Who the f* are you talking to, AF-hole? You are probably a moron, as you have exhibited no knowledge of....well....anything since this discussion began. WTF are you talking about?

I've lived in New England for over twenty years now, and never met a bitter Red Sox fan or a Red Sox fan who cared more about the Yankees losing than the Red Sox winning, which I think is the point you were trying to make, though it's hard to tell through your rape of the English language. Yankees fans are more bitter about not having won a WS in six years than Red Sox fans were about having won one in 86 years. Just because Yankees fans are sore losers doesn't mean that all fans are as well.

Oh, and by the way? Yankees won 26 WS titles, not 16. Why don't you leave your middle school computer lab and go to your 8th-grade English class, it looks like you need it.

None of the above. And open your eyes, it isn't Tartar. Yankee fans, as an entire fan base, are the most ill-informed and undereducated baseball fans out there. Now, I'm not saying any Yankee fan wasting his/her on a sports wiki is ill-informed, that person is obviously in the minority and is well intentioned at least. I'm speaking towards the average Yankee fan, or the average person attending a game at Yankee stadium. They, on the average, know much less about their team than a person claiming to be a fan of a small market team, because it takes much more dedication to follow a Royals or a Pirates than it does to follow the Yankees. That is just human nature, not a hit against the Yankees at all, just the way it is.

That's because (if you read the chart) Notre Dame and Yankees fans are fans for the same reasons... they were born after 1920 - Band Wagon Creators, Jumpers, Riders, and Braggarts If you need to root for a winner to make you feel like one, fine! But since you're a "true Yankees fan" you should be confident that you're a winner that a little smack wouldn't faze you (YEAR 2000), but maybe this is evidence that you're NOT a true Yankees fan!!!! Yankees fans don't cry or need to call people names - it makes you sound "bitter, angry, delusional, liberal, democrat, anti-fan, unreasonable, foul-mouthed, illogical, pessimistic, crude..."

The point is that there is no comparison at all. NY Yankees are NOT in the middle of nowhere. Quite the opposite. The NY Yankees are not a college team. The NY Yankees are subject to the rules of MLB, not the BCS system. The NY Yankees go to WS because they do deserve to by winning games. The NY Yankees do WIN WS. Yankee fans don't cry when they lose, upset sure all fans are. Again, there is no comparison and it is just another example of bitter/angry anti-fans lashing out at the Yankees every chance they get even when it doesn't make sense. Kinda like a democrat from new england lashing out at the President. haha.

if you are a traditional democrat then no, of course not. this country needs to healthy political parties. if you are a looney left democrat (kerry, dean, gore, pelosi, kennedy) then yes, that is bad.


Unlike the comment above trying like notre dame fans with Yankee fans which makes no sense. I will illustrate the similarities between boston/met fans and democrats.

Both are: 1.) bitter about their defeats 2.) obnoxious if you have a different view 3.) irrational if you disagree with them 4.) "anti" meaning they love more to see their opposition torn down than their own team do well. in the case of the democrats, they (looney left only) would rather see this country worse off in order to make Republicans look bad. 5.) They think they are more intelligent (intellectual) 6.) They think they are both more "open-minded" 7.) They both talk out both sides of their mouth

8.) The both will switch sides/teams in a second as long as it's "anti"

It's really pretty funny, actually. You post an ND article, J Cunningham makes some offhand remark about the Yankees, and suddenly Xinoph and an AF are in a free-for-all flame war! Manny and Xinoph double-team the AF for a while, but then another AF hits the scene and picks up where the first one left off (I'm assuming they're both the same guy). Then Pnatt tries to calm things down -- which is in and of itself a pretty hilarious concept -- and Xinoph shoots him down while simultaneously going at it with the AF(s). All in all, we've got a Yankees/Red Sox clash, a Democrat/Republican/Libertarian flame war, a bit of the Notre Dame/Boston College rivalry thrown in for good measure, and Pnatt moralizing about Xinoph saying "terrible things" in comments (LMAO)... AGM comedy at its finest, folks.
