I think you are confusing 'fans' of a particular team with jerks who happen to also be fans of a particluar team. Kind of shallow to make an inclusive statement like that about anybody. Unless it's Packers fans obviously.

Nah, I'm not. Ask Dom, he will tell you. Like I said, I have nothing but respect for the man, but that doesn't mean in any way shape or form I have to feel bad for the Yankees or Yankee fans.

Second off, He was booed at Yankee stadium two seasons ago. YOU BOOED MARIANO RIVERA. Are you serious? This man is the reason you won 5 world series since 96. Without him, you would have been just as good as everybody else, he was the difference maker, and he was booed. I still will never fathom that.

I don't know why Chris has so much animosity towards Yankee fans.
Last time I checked he wasn't a Mets fan.

Yes, Yankee fans did Boo Rivera.
Though, you aren't painting a complete picture.

He was Booed in 2005.
The Year after the worst postseason collapse in sports history. (Yes, I said it )
We opened that season against the Sox.
Rivera's first 2 save opportunities, he blew to the Sox.
That's when he was booed.
While I don't agree with that, I am willing to say the fans had a little bit of pent up frustration, and the boos weren't 100% directed at him.
Actually the point is moot!
Real Yankee fans don't go to Yankee games, they cant afford it!
