The Dodgers left Brooklyn before my mom was born and she’s old as fuck
But I think the only way Dodgers can redeem themselves at this point is to go back to Brooklyn, kill every single member of the Yankees, somehow steal the copyright, trademark, etc. to all their shit and then lock that shit down making it impossible to print another Yankees cap or jersey ever again. Brooklyn Dodgers can be the NYC team and the Yankees will never be spoken about ever again
So, you know, get on it guys
-signed, literally everyone who watches baseball and doesn’t support the piece of shit Yankees
I don’t really have an opinion on any teams besides the Phillies because I happen to live closest to Philly so I like seeing them win but besides that I just want the Yankees to lose. The supernova of hate in my heart for that team takes up all my hating energy
Continuing to count World Series wins from the early 1900s when there were like four teams competing at a serious level. It’s a joke.
The fans. No elaboration
Many of the big name players “a rod” most of all are just assholes. No one will deny their skills, but just be humble. A little humble.
Along with having big name players, baseball is kind of weird in that teams literally can just straight up buy talent. It’s a genuine issue in the sport and the Yankees are the prime example. They make fuckloads of cash from their team, annoyingly, being the team non-sports fans associate with baseball as a whole and buy the caps and whatever. Then they spin that money into signing the best players they can from other teams. It just consolidates and perpetuates the problem. No team can compete with the Yankees being able to offer $250M contracts. And no that isn’t to say the players don’t “deserve” the high salaries. They deserve almost all of it. The problem is it’s hyper concentrated into specific franchises and yeah. I don’t know any solutions that wouldn’t immediately get shot down by team owners, which is precisely the problem at the core. There shouldn’t be owners or cash pools for specific franchises. But good luck getting any of this into basically anyone’s brain that a major problem in the sport is capitalism. They’re likely to spin it as being salty, being jealous, say it’ll hurt players, etc. without seriously engaging in the problem that the Yankees are basically a symptom of (so in a way, I’m hating the players and not the game- but also fuck the Yankees. 🤷)
Oh also their apparently 10000 year old owner continues to require players shave and maintain some weird 1950s leave it to beaver looking aesthetic. Every other team has long ago joined modernity. That weird control freak shit is another symptom of allowing individual owners to exist
Everyone seems to forget that the Giants were originally a NY team too. It’s wild how every borough of NYC had its own championship caliber MLB team (and no, we won’t count Staten Island).

But does that mean the Mets have to become the evil team to uphold the balance of the City?

im all for hating yankees but what makes the sports team particularly offensive?
(I recognize the joke and choose to ignore it)
Everything.
A tiny list:
