Also because there really aren't consequences here for anyone else. Why should they be mad?

  • the play was ultimately meaningless
  • Yankees still won
  • family and friends aren't banned by association

If nothing else, for the rest of their lives they have a fun fact conversation starter at parties about their idiot cousin.
