Because we don't like rioting in the stands.

I think everyone except Yankee fans hate the Yankees, while other teams are just competition.  The Yankee's have managed (Steinbrenners fault) to do all they can to ruin the chances of any other team competing simply because they are in a high dollar market.  But as a Red Sox fan I don't particularly hate the people on the team anymore, they aren't the late '70's team that was a bunch of jerks, now they're high priced spoiled brats who cry when they lose.

nope. new yorkers are the most arrogant people in the world. and admitting that they are wrong will never happen, they will fight to death to preserve their dignity. this is not a bad thing. But the Yankees are horrible, and a shadow of what they were in the 90's.\nand i agree with everything you say, go Indians!!!!!\nBut seriously we are all American so lets fight this fight together:\nUSA ALL THE WAY!!!!

I can't believe the way people act towards the Yankees. Having been a Yankee fan for as long as I can remember (and I am 30+) I've have supported them thru winning and losing seasons. And I've endured much ridicule and many jeers for doing so. The biggest thing I hear is how Steinbreiner buys pennants. This is not true. All teams have the same option of turn profits back into the team. He's a great business man. And he pays dearly for it. All the teams benefit from his hefty payroll because he pays the highest luxury tax in the league. \nYankees fans are all over...not just in New York.

Hear, Hear!! You are a prophet who sees not only the flaws in the fans who reason that the Yankees are the best, but also who sees into the future to see that nothing is going to change for them. So many of us will be enjoying the next 100 years while the Yankees continue to waste money trying to buy a pennant, living on their past glory, and falling flat on their faces.\n\nHave to call it as I see it too.

i agree with you "dogbreath".\nAll those who follow NFL think the players are awesome , but in reality , they are pussys.\nIf they didn't have all that padding they would cry when tackled.\nRugby is a very tough sport and Rugby players would walk all over the "Yankee Footballers" easily.\n\n" GO KIWI'S"  The All Blacks ROCK!!!!

The problem is not that Americans butcher soccer (they are ranked 5th in the world and the MLS is not a joke anymore). The problem lies in the fact that Americans HAVE butchered the real meaning of sport. Look at the professional leagues in the States for Baseball, American Football, Basketball, etc. They are plagued with player strikes, horrible and inconsistent officiating, and horrid marketing schemes. It's not about tradition, winning, or entertainment. It's about making money. The Brits want eternal glory for thier team. The Russians are not nearly as likely to undermine that, in fact they are as passionate about sport as the Brits are with football. The British fans are upset and they should be. They believe Americans don't know the first thing about football as it's played over there, and they don't. The game is different, the players are different, and most importantly the FANS are different. I BLEED Arsenal Red, I don't simply root for them. There's also the way he's threatened the existence of Manchester United by incurring debt, using the team to secure £265 million, or $490 million, of loans as part of his £790 million takeover price. The man also hates sports. He was once seen rooting for the opposing team when he attended, which is a rare occurance, a game of his NFL team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He knows nothing of pride, traditions, and the importance of soccer. That's why the Brits are pissed, not simply because he's a Yankee.

No ! It is like lame baseball. Maybe if I understood the rules I might like it. But for now I am content on hating it.

I think it's a lack of understanding of the sport (not just general stupidity) in a combination of big city, snob culture and high cost of living. They're not stupid, they're just not good fans.\n\nI grew up in Buffalo, NY. Home of the Sabres. Buffalo NY is(was) mostly a blue-collar, working-class city. It's not unusal to have families that have lived in Buffalo for many generations. Buffalonians are pragmatic, down-to-earth and just not fussy; part of the reason that the Buff is called "The City of No Pretentions" and It's full of loyal, die-hard fans, who support their teams, winning or losing. It's full of people who understand winter and winter sports and grew up watching hockey (watching hockey is a skill, and without being able to watch it well, hockey's no fun. hockey on TV is even harder to watch). It takes patience.\n\nThen I went away to school in Maryland. And I lived in and worked in and watched hockey in D.C. The difference between DC and Buffalo, well....\n\nD.C. has a large transient population, due to all the folks working in government, so there's also no sense of place or roots. There's also a lot of self-important people who think they are the only ones that matter. It is a place full of impatient people who rarely take the time to look at anything that isn't going to make them a profit, etc.\nAs a whole, if a team isn't winning, no one is interested, because they just don't like a loser (like politics). Everyone loves the Caps when they're winning, but they all sort of turn their backs when they are not. True with basketball and football, too. \n\nAs for understanding winter sports, D.C. also has no real winter (you should see those idiots TRY to drive in the snow). \n\nIn addition, the costs of going to the Verizon Center are ridiculous, even for nosebleed seats. Granted when the new owner of the Caps took over, he tried to lower prices so that families could afford to go, but they were still pretty high, especially if you needed to park  downtown or even if you took the metro system in. And if you wanted to eat at the arena, too. A middle-class family of four would be out close to 200 dollars or so.\n\nNow typically, the people who can afford to go to the games are doing pretty well for themselves, which means they are most likely college-educated. So technically, no they are not "uneducated" in that sense of the word. I think they are uneducated in the sense of what a true hockey fan should be.

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.
