So my husband bought a Yankees hat the other day and it makes me angry. The physical hat. It makes me mad.
First, I don't really like baseball. I find it boring and lame. I don't understand how people can find enjoyment in it. It's not even fun to play.
Second, I don't really understand why people wear sports clothes when they aren't watching a game. Sure, I have a McNabb jersey, but you won't see me wearing it to the Whole Foods in June.
And lastly, I hate people who like the Yankees. Sorry, but I'm judgmental.
I used to work for a guy who was a Yankees lunatic. He had a poster of Yankees Stadium in his office that listed the times they had won some kind of championship. He had a Yankees mug. He had an entire team of bobbleheads on his desk. And I guarantee that his office decor was just a small sampling of the Yankee haven that he calls home.
I honestly liked this guy, but when he started talking about the Yankees, he turned into a giant douche. And since then, I've noticed that most people become giant douches when talking about the Yankees.
I wonder if I lived in Boston if I would feel the same way about the Red Sox fans. Probably. It's not so much the Yankees per se, but more about what happens to the people who love the Yankees.
When D-Bags Attack!
I mean, it’s enough already! Enough with the Yankees and their dedicated cable TV network. Enough with Derek Jeter and his cheap cologne. Enough with the new stadium, which (as I was informed by CinS in a moment of Yankee clarity) is within spitting distance of the original stadium and being built to look exactly the same.
Please no more.
All of this rage and more are held within my husband's new hat. A hat that causes me to audibly retch each time he puts it on. A hat that he tried to wear out to dinner last night. A hat that was quickly replaced with a Mets hat as soon as I made my stank-face.

Three words: get over it.
You're in the media center of the world, this city (like most) has a deep interest in sports teams, and this city happens to be the home of the most storied, famous sports team that plays in the most storied, famous baseball stadium.
I think its great to see people from other cities like your husband embrace the Yankees and I think that if you lived in Boston you'd see that this city isn't so bad when it comes to its sports teams... at least there is plenty of other non-sports stuff to do here and sports uniforms are generally not acceptable attire for going out (you can find plenty of women in Boston wearing red sox jerseys and/or hats out to bars).
And, don't think you can get away with insulting Derek Jeter. The man is a natural leader. At least the man has class and isn't trash like a lot of athletes--and he dated Mariah Carey BEFORE she went nuts. Jeter for prez.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it...unless you dog the Jets... thems be fighting words.
