What do you think of the Steinbrenner family still supporting Giuliani and Trump?

[NYCButterfinger]

The New York Yankees' owner, Hal Steinbrenner, who's still chummy with Giuliani and Trump, what do you think?

Do you think they should distance from the two since the Bronx is a diverse area, they don't want to lose Yankee fans, do they?

1. Good God

You're really on a tear, there, butters.

2. Why should I care about Steinbrenner more than about anyone else who supports him?

3. What do I think?

I hate the fucking guts of all 3.
That's what I think.

4. Lotta questions

5. I expect super rich people to support him.

It makes sense for them to support any republican. They’re generally only concerned with themselves. It doesn’t make sense for anyone who isn’t rich to support Тяцмр or any Republican.

9. So, we've lost Bloomberg and Soros?

I hate broad brush assumptions about economic status and political leanings.

10. You can cherrypick if you want.

I said “in general” not “all”.

[brooklynite]

12. Am I correct then that "in general" lower income people vote for Democrats?

I think that an equally biased assumption.

[BlueTsunami2018]

16. No.

Read what I originally wrote.

Jesus Christ. 🙄

18. More or less biased an assumption...

"I think that an equally biased assumption."

More or less biased an assumption than calling an industrial accident an "extrajudicial execution by terrorists?"




(I get it... holding others to a higher standard than we hold ourselves to allows us the opportunity for some juicy self-righteousness when the old self-validation tank gets low-- not that that's your thing, of course)

6. Hal lives in Florida and dreams about spreadsheets

The Bronx is the furthest thing from his mind.

14. Hal barely visits Yankee Stadium

Since his father died in 2010, Hal has not been focused on the franchise.

He is basically a man who inherited a franchise from a blustery, win at all costs meddling owner who demands excellence and winning world championships.

A trust fund child.

Whose family has ties to Trump.

7. Sports owners don't care

Look at the owner of the Patriots. Boston isn't exactly Republican central.

And it seems like the fans don't care much either. Hell, most sports owners seem to be Republican, and almost all sports teams are in major cities that are largely Democratic.

It never seems to register.

8. I think George Costanza is still sleeping under a desk somewhere in Yankee stadium...

and putting stupid pills in their coffee.

11. What exactly are you getting at with these posts?

[NYCButterfinger]

13. It's called discussions. Let's have healthy conversations. That's what.

[LanternWaste]

19. That's one term for it.

Which does not in any way, deny equally valid (if not quite as preening) terms for it as well.

15. What do you think of the Steinbrenner family still supporting Giuliani and Trump?

Not much.
