the only thing worse than a yankee fan is a drunk yankee fan
How can you not feel a social responsibility to buy into the nonsense that is professional sports? Personally, I hate baseball, and intellectually, I agree with literally everything you said. But the human race, especially the the male half of it, has always been all about duking it out and rooting for the home team. You can't swim against a current that strong. Unless you want to be labelled a subversive and beaten by a mob of angry sox fans, I advise you to drink up and go with the flow.Fan is short for "fanatic", and baseball fans are all assholes. People that find the social need to collectively root for "professional" players who make 300 times more than a well-paid hard-working individual in most other regular job really have their priorities askew. These steroid-infested thugs pick fights at any possible opening to flex their chemically-enhanced physique, sparring daily on a diamond of dust and turf in a medieval battle to prove who has more testosterone. When you take the baseball lingo (which is commonly done) to be metaphors for getting laid (striking out or making a home run, etc) you see that baseball is a bunch of slightly larger boys who really have never matured psychologically into men trying to duke it out in an arena that's gilded by the coporate elite and attended by millions of other sexually-challenged men who can't get laid so instead they find solace in rooting for their home team (whether it's winning or not is irrelevant to them -- they are fanatics, so they root anyways). Now coupled with this is the fact that most fans are also raging alcoholics, and I've only seen very few nice drunks. Most drunks are huge assholes and drunks at baseball games will beat up your kids and steal your girlfriend (who has to be crazy to follow you to a friggin' ball game)! They'll kick your dog and dent your car. They'll bump into your cart at the grocery store and ring your doorbell and run. Baseball boys never grow up, and nowhere is this more apparent than on this board.
