80 years of having Yankee fans telling everybody else how great their team is does that.

6. Ah if youre a Giants fan then you must hate the Cowboys |
|
I believe for a while the Cowboys had the same thing the Yankees had, a lot of love nationwide and hate, its the price thats paid for being good I guess. You see that with the Patriots now in the NFL, a lot of peole love em but a lot hate em as well. So Yankee hatred is and I admit this in my case a testament to their history, my dad was a New York Giants fan as a kid and while that interleague rivalry does not compare to that of you guys and the Dodgers, it was there. I wish we had a forth of the championships you guys have, the Yankees got a great history but when you appear in 40% of all the world series, people are gonna hate your guts and love you. Anyhow I hope we keep doing good and I hope in late season interdivisional games you guys act as a spoiler by beating up on the Red Sox for us.

8. I hate everyone in the Giants division |
|
however, I don't take great joy that Dallas sucked last year at the same time the Giants sucked. My team winning is far more important to me. That's my general point.

10. Yeah I know what you mean |
|
I want my team to do good first and foremost. While its nice to see our rivals suck, the team matters first and foremost to me, which is why I dont think I really even notriced that the Yankees in 97 werent as good as they were in 96 since I was loving the wire to wire season by the Orioles that year.

the Yanks record in 97 was better than in 96. They almost caught Baltimore in the end.

25. Cowboys, Eagles, Redskins.... |
|
....I'm an equal opporunity hater.
You can also add the 49ers and Vikings to that list.
I grew up in central Jersey so in terms of loathing the Eagles are the top of the list.

11. You know who I hate? those damned Pirates |
|
Though historically I admire Bobby Clemente a lot, its too bad he died so young and speaking of them, that series in 1960 was one of the best ever.

Which means I was just old enough to have Reggie Jackson's 3 HRs in the World Series be my oldest baseball memory.

are so many Yankees fans obsessed with the belief that everyone else is obsessed with the Yankees?

who aren't Yankees fans start threads every time they lose instead of talking about their own teams. I don't start threads about Boston when they lose and neither do other Yankees fans. Its pretty clear fans are obsessing about the Yankees.

23. And you don't know why that happens? |
|
It's old-fashioned trolling. And the only reason it happens here so much is that there are enough cranky-style Yankee fans around that allow their goats to be gotten. And not just by DU posters. At the beginning of the season, a few Yankee fans dug this troll hole by starting their own goofy threads about the mass of Yankee haters, etc...
Planned ignoring goes a long way sometimes.
