Most Hated Sports Fans: New York or Boston?

When it comes to professional sports, there are few things I hate more than fans of Boston or New York sports teams. But who do I hate more? A comparision must made by breaking down the fans into their respective teams:

Baseball
Boston Red Sox-I was happy when the Red Sox won the World Series. I thought it was neat and that the team was fun. However, the celebration by the Red Sox fans made me regret my decision to root for them. People acted like they were being freed from slavery. There was crying and books and much talk of suffering and sacrifices. And then next season it was back to the same whining and complaining. So irritiating.

New York Yankees- Any fans who boo A-Rod for no good reason don't deserve to be called good baseball fans. You have one of the best players ever to play the game and he has a bad season. Instead of supporting him, you tear him down. They say it is a badge of honor that New York is such a tough place to play. I call it a badge of stupidity. I also hate anybody abroad (esp. London) who wears a Yankees hat because they saw it worn in a music video and because they like New York. Word to the wise: New York ain't that great.

New York Mets- The higher class New York fans are still a bastion of hate and disappointment. However, they don't irk me like Yankees fans. I still enjoy seeing the Mets lose, however.

Basketball:

Boston Celtics-Maybe since the Celtics haven't mattered in so long, I don't really have any opinion about their fans. They haven't been shoved down my throat as much as the Red Sox and the Patriots. Does anybody speak with a Boston accent outside of Boston? Transplanted Bostonians that I know speak like normal people. It's all just an act to sound retahded. And "wicked" is one of the worst words in the English language.

New York Knicks- Boy, I love Isiah Thomas. Thank you for destroying the Knicks and turning them into a laughing stock. Nothing pleases me more than seeing Spike Lee disheartened and the hallowed grounds of the MSG sullied by this terrible team.

Football:
New York Jets-The stadium they play in is named after the other football team in the town. So sad. It's like the Cubs playing in White Sox stadium.

New York Giants-No real complaints here either. Compared to Redskins, Eagles, and Cowboy fans, they are the least annoying fans in their own division.

New England Patriots-Every year the Pats make a wise personnel decision. Every year every Patriot fan complains. Every year the Patriots win with a secondary carved off somebody else's practice squad. So every year Pat fans sound stupid.

In conclusion, I think I hate Boston fans more. I just can't stand to be in their presence. They feel like they have suffered more than anyone else and that they deserve to win. It's just sports. Get some perspective. Just because the Red Sox lost shouldn't ruin your day. You think Big Papi cares about your feelings? Manny? Jason Varitek? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Next week: Why I hate Philadelphia fans. Booing Santa Claus is not awesome. It is childish. Your greatest sports hero is a fictional boxer. Pathetic.
