Just want to know the reasons. I heard that because of the Yankees, Yankee haters hate Knicks during baseball offseason. Does it have to do anything with the P.Ewing era? I just want to now the reasons people hate the Knicks. I know Knicks suck now, but there was time when they were good and they were still hated as a team. Does it have anything to do with the Yankees?

I don't think that a bias necessarily exists within the media, but among fans I believe there sure are a lot of Cowboys haters.  There are several reasons for this.  For one, there is a little bit of jealousy for "America's Team".  These feelings are still carrying over from their dynasty in the 90's (and even the 70s).  Also, the organization has had many abrasive characters:  owner Jerry Jones, the Tuna, ex-stars such as Michael Irvin, and the myriad of criminals and druggies they've paraded through in the last 10/15 years.  As with any great sports organization, fans are very polarized... you either love 'em or hate 'em.  I love 'em, but conversely I despise great competing teams such as the Steelers and 49ers.  Some in the media may have their beef with Jerry Jones or other people in the organization, but I think the strong anti-Dallas emotion is mainly among the fans (which is a tribute to the Cowboys being one of the top teams in the sport).

you are a traitor.. you can't be fan of both teams.. that's like being a fan of Yankees and the Mets. Of course, if one loses and the other survives to win the championships, you can be fan of that team temporarily and then switch back to the team you were routing for.

I've never seen him be cocky after watching his career, I've seen him challenge opposition, bring the level of talent around him UP, and deliver night in/night out.  He thanks his teammates for his success (as he should) and is polite to reporters.\n\nThe reason people hate on him is pure JEALOUSY, same reason they hate on A-Rod, Lebron, Kobe, Peyton Manning, etc.\n\nIt comes down to the fact that these guys have EVERYTHING the common man wants, and to make it worse, it comes NATURALLY.  That really gets the general public ticked off.  \n\nIt's one thing to hate the fact that they killed your team, or are a turd (See: T.O. who DOES have talent), but to hate on them because they practice harder or because they're better....PUH-LEEZE...\n\nI hate Michigan, the Yankees, the Lakers and a few others but I RESPECT THEM.  They are where they are because they did things the right way (or they're my rivals)....and I'm objective enough to say it

You see the Soxs fans have problems! We all know that the Yankees are the better team. The Soxs fan just don't want to admit it because before the 2004 World Series the Soxs didn't win a WS title for over 80 years! So the soxs fans are just dreaming. The season had just began. The Yanks will clobber the soxs. Then the soxs fan will go crying home just like they always do. The soxs have won like what 3 or 4 WS titles? The Yanks have won 26 WS titles. They will make that 27 WS titles at the end of this season. So who is the better team now? It's clearly the Yankees. But you soxs fans are going to keep denying it just like always!So you soxs fan can kiss that WS ring good bye!!!!   \nGO YANKEES!!!!!!

I think it can certainly be a good thing... fans located in areas with teams in both leagues get to see these teams play each other in meaningful games.\n\nGrowing up as a Met fan, every year they would play the Yankees in the "Mayors Trophy" game...just one game out of the season...but the regulars wouldn't play that much... We wanted to see Tom Seaver go out there and blow the Yankees away, but of course, the Mets weren't going to waste a pitching turn by Tom Seaver to win such a 'meaningless' game.\n\nAt first, I was against interleague play, but it didn't take long for me to change my mind...\n\nPlayers used to play for one team, or in one league, their whole career... or at least for many years at a time. Players because identified as an "American Leaguer" or a "National Leaguer". The only time they would ever meet (except the World Series) was in the All Star game... and at that time, there was a genuine rivalry between the NL and the AL.  Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Johnny Bench, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson, Fergie Jenkins, Ozzie Smith, Pete Rose... these guys were all "National Leaguers".\n\nBrooks Robinson, Carl Yastrzemski, Frank Howard, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, Vida Blue, Reggie Jackson...these guys were all "American Leaguers" (even though Frank Robinson came up with the Reds). \n\nIn NJ, where I grew up, we got to watch Met and Yankee games, so we got to see players from both leagues... there was also a Saturday afternoon "Game of the Week" on NBC, in addition to "Monday night baseball", also on NBC. (No cable at that time)\n\nWhen you're used to identifying players with a particular league, you don't like to see the leagues play each other, besides the W.Series and A.S. Game.\n\nBut today, the way players (even great ones) switch teams and leagues, it really doesn't matter...there's really no division of players the way there used to be... \n\nso yeah, I think Interleague play is good for baseball... \nin spite of the fact that the majority of 'inter league' matchups are pretty lame.\n\nthere aren't any such things as "National Leaguers" and "American Leaguers" any more... Randy Johnson has been a star for Seattle and Arizona... is he an A-Leaguer or a N-Leaguer? There are plenty of other examples of future Hall of Famers who split their careers between the two leagues.\n\nThe last real "American Leaguer" was Cal Ripken, Jr.\n\nAssuming he doesn't go to the A.L to DH (I doubt he will), Barry Bonds might be the last of the "National Leaguers".\n\nI'm not counting on Pujols to spend his whole career in St. Louis, as great as he is.

The Yankees... Yes  Definatly a silver spoon  buy your way to the top kind of team...\n\nThe Mets on the other hand... no series wins since 86' and the fans have become so accustomed to loosing that they make excueses before they even loose!! This year with Omar The Mets have worked very hard to get to the point they did, but unfortunatly injuries killed there game... (another fan bubble burst)  they built a team perfectly ballanced with vets and rookies with great potential (not all super-star status players that are overpaid and under-played) and the fans stand behind them no matter what... that is definatly one thing you can say about met fans... they are resiliant in good and bad times!

Ya Isiah is Ruining the franchise more than it is already was Larry brown who screwed up as a coach with 42 different line ups! i mean their is no chemistry their! Renaldo Balkman was chosen 20th by the knicks he shouldnt have been in the 1st round but in the second round but i truly believe no one would have toched upon him he could ahve been free agent and the knickscould ahev signed him! the knicks neede adn still need a pure point guard and a good passer. MARCUS WILLIAMS the best guard in the draft adn the best pure point guard adn passer! Knicks had a chance to get him instead they got some sucky guy like Renaldo Balkman. I mean they passed on him and the NJ Nets got him thier rivels, with the 22nd pick and then they got Josh Boone a very good forword! Two huskies back-to-back! The Nets made a samrt move because they ahve an amazing point guard who can replace Jason Kidd when he retires which will be soon. Now Jason Kidd can teache Marcus WIlliams some tips and handers to help him, I mean Jason Kidd is an amazing Gaurd. The Nets drafted two huskies basck-to-back  adn thats really smart because Marcus WIlliams is friends with Josh Boone and they were on the same team (Conneticut Huskies) so they know how one another plays, so they wont have a problem and then they are surrounded by some of the NBA's best: Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, and Richard Jefferson. They also ahve Kristic who can get some bench time and have Josh Boone Play. Like in the Playoffs when Nets faces Miami and couldnt take on Udonis Haslem and Shaq, especially Kristic. He was having a hard time and no nbench time because no one was good thier to replace him for a while. As for the Knicks fan i am a big one and now really like the Nets too even though they are the Knicks Rivals. The Knicks needed a pure point gauard and passer but they dont get one instead draft Forwards! I mean seriously, Isiah is a very good drafter, after all he was the one who Drafted Channing Frye and Nate Robinson, he also got David Lee who sint that bad.I don't know how but the knicks need a miracle and need to pull thier act together. When the Knicks drafted Renaldo Balkman, Spike Lee was like he is a sleeper and will remian a sleeper . a sleeper\nKnicks are giving Isiah Thomas 1 year to pull the team together but he messed up already with  the draft i mean if u had the chance to Draft Marcus WIlliams who was like a really good top 5 canidate i would draft him. Well lets see wut happens with the Knicks.\nIsiah is beoming and amzingly bad GM

You hate the Yankees because you envy them.  You hate the fact that they have great success and your Angels and Dodgers don't.  Don't think for a moment that if your teams had the chance at that kind of success they wouldn't take it!  It's just a game.  Your question would have been better served if you just left out the hate part.  The answer has to do with the playoff structure.  Everyone knows that the regular season is almost meaningless.  All a team has to do is make the playoffs and at that point it becomes a crap shoot.  Whoever instituted the 5 games short series should have their head examined.  Every round should be the best of 7.  This years world series was a great example of the system going completely haywire.  The Cardinals (83-78) think that they are the "worlds best"!!  Are you kidding me??  Looks at Seattle a few years ago.  They won 116 games but got knocked out early.  Like it or not the Yankees are still the best team in baseball.  They are still the team everyone talks about more than any other.  There is nothing wrong with the Yankees but there is a great deal wrong with the playoff system.  There was a time when a team actually had to win the pennant out right in order to play in the world series.

You asked. And I am going to answer.\n\nI hate the red sox as much as I hate the yankees.\n\nFor the simple reason that are cocky arrogant self centered egotistical hyprocites.\n\nThere, you have your correct answer.

Yes I hate the Yankees,Heat, and so on. I root for the same teams years after year. Packers,Bucks and Brewers. Never forget my ex-wife didn't even know what a TD was and the year GB Pack won she had a flag on her car window. What a joke.

Considering that it is a player's league, it was probably the right choice to get rid of the vagabond Brown.  Only problem is, the man running the show and wanted him in the first place (Zeke) should have just as much blame heaped upon him.  The team he assembled is absolute garbage, with too many conflicting egos and not enough leaders.  And now he wants to coach that mess?  Zeke needs to find a coach out there that can (and wants) to take the NY media abuse; if he stays on as coach/GM, his goose will be cooked by the all-star break next year.\n\nI think that the Knicks have some excellent young talent, and Brown probably helped behind the scenes in practice to improve their games, but there is no way guys like Marbury and Francis were going to give the ol' professor the time of day.  And if a hall-of-famer like Brown can't get through to them, Zeke won't be able to.  I don't care how much lipstick you slap on that pig; it is a no-win situation all the way around.\n\nRight choice to fire; wrong choice to coach.  Blow it all up and start all over again, Knicks.

How is the Cardinal-Cub rivalry overrated?  The two have been rivals for eons, been in the same division since both were founded (both were in the NL East after 1969 and moved to the Central together when each league went to three divisions), and have played each other over 2000 times (Cubs led the rivalry at the end of last year 1037-998).\n\nHow do you say that a team that only came into existence in 1962 compares with that?

why bother the Knicks suck
