Do you hate Yankees

I keep on forgetting that every last person in the South is an outstanding human being and a benefit to society. I also, missed the memo, that Southerners who migrate north or northwest, never ever talk about how things were done back home.

The only thing we won't shut up about is gravy. And biscuits. And fried chicken. Okay, so we pretty much just harp on food just like they do.

(I'm actually an equal opportunity misanthrope -- I dislike everybody. My only complaint with Our Friends From The North is when they start crapping on the south in general, not because they're wrong, but because they're not one of us. Kind of like when other teams' fans start crapping on Fulmer -- it's not that they're wrong, but I don't want to hear it from them. That's a dispute that should be kept in the family. You don't get to crap on us unless you're one of us.)

Because of the Civil War, or because we talk funny, or what? I have 2 great friends from the Army that live in Knox Couty, and they have no answers. So, in the anonymity of the internet, tell me why you hate me for being from north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers.

Not even geography, really. I hate them because they buy players and, ultimately, championships. I hate to say this, but I wouldn't even like the Vols if they could buy championships and did so. Just not very sportsman-like. Probably more a criticism of the major league baseball system than it is the Yankees, but they seem to benefit most from the current system than anyone else.

Erroneous! Erroneous on all counts!

That argument against the Yankee's is incredibly trite and most obviously dishonest. There is not a sports fan out there who would not want their team's management to do all they could to put the best product on the field.

Oh, if this argument is about the New York Yankees in particular, then I take back everything I said about folks from the north in general (several of whom are my best friends).. F those Yankees into the deepest, darkest, most cavernous hole that can be found by trolling the hookers on the lower east side.

Of course not. We all wish our teams had the same resources available. But of course, many of us didn't happen to grow up in the New York area. So it's really just a question of who's a frontrunning, glory-hunting, bandwaggoning bastard, isn't it?

Not at all. I am not a Yankee's fan. I am a Royals fan (which, btw, is the other end of the spectrum). However, when it comes down to hating MLB teams, I would definitely place the Red Sox at the top of that list. A fan base whose team spends plenty of money, trying to accomplish what the Yankees have done, yet they are always the loudest and most vocal in stating that the "Yankees (or evil empire) buys championships".

BTW - I hate northerners (people farther north than Illinois) because I can. They're annoying as hell, especially people from Wisconsin. Michigan folks are okay as long as they are from the southern peninsula. I also dislike most Iowans because it's my duty as a resident of Illinois (and the Hawkeyes suck).

We're absolutely on the same page w/r/t the Red Sox and their fans. After decades of trying to beat the Yankees, they finally won by, well, BECOMING the Yankees. There's no real difference between the two teams to me at this point.

Much of the hatred I directed at the Patriots this year had nothing to do with them, really, but because I'm so done with the Sox fans. It's just amazing how much more, uh, apparent the Boston fans have made themselves over the last few years. We sure didn't see much of them down here back in the mid 90s, did we?

Present day Red Sox fans are simply Cubs fans who converted circa 2004. Cubs fans were simply disloyal to whichever hometown club they were tired of hopelessly rooting for, so they found solidarity in hopelessly rooting for a "loveable loser."

The Yankees are my team and I'm proud of it. I've been to two games up there and saw A-Rod hit number 500 8 rows up from home plate.

Keep up all the jealousy haters.

Yuck! I've never tasted anything worse than sweet tea...

And we do have it here in the QCA... but it's not popular.

not too sure what QCA is but I can guess it's a bit farther north than Tennessee if sweet tea is not popular.

If you think it's terrible then you're obviously not making it the correct way

This argument/discussion has shifted from "Yankees" to the NY Yankees so I guess I'll address both issues.

On "Yankees"- I cant say I like yall.
On The New York Yankees- I' m a fan.
