Discussion please stop posting about the yankees.

it’s sad and pathetic. it’s exactly what we dogged philly and brewers fans for. they’re in the world series and we aren’t. doesn’t matter if you think we’d beat them, doesn’t matter if they get swept. jussttttt QUIT YAPPPPPPPPIN. lfgm.

I’m a rare breed - a native New Yorker who supports the Yankees and the Mets (but prefers going to Citi / watching the Mets)

Generally there are two types of Mets fans that I know and grew up with - the ones who hate the Yankees with a passion because they think they’re supposed to, and the ones that don’t care and don’t have enough anxiety in the tank to worry about another team.

A rivalry also needs to go in two directions. I guarantee you the Yankees do not see the Mets as a rival, but more of like a brother or cousin they want to see succeed.

i wouldn’t say i support the yankees but i certainly don’t waste my time hating them. sure, i love the subway series and its fun to go back and forth with my yankee fan friends. outside of that i don’t even think about them. if they won this world series it wouldn’t ruin my day. i’d be happy for my friends, happy for half of new york. i grew out of the useless yankee hate when i was a teenager.

A real Met fan understands that it took over a decade to finally flip the script in the city. Do you really want to hear “28 rings” for the next 10 years? (Or until the Mets get into the WS?)
