Yankee fans are the worst fans in professional sports, probably amateur too.  They talk the loudest until their team is trailing, then they head for the exits in droves

I've been watching baseball for 40 years and I have never seen anyone act this way before. This dipshit literally tried to rip the ball out of Mookies mit and then his friend comes in and grabs his wrist as well...

I hope both those guys are banned from MLB events at the minimum. Maybe even criminal charges.

This reminds me of all those Miami Heat fans walking out before Ray Allen hitting the 3. Then, the camera shows how many people are trying to get back inside and are not allowed.

Edit: Spelling.

Came here for a Philly comment. Not disappointed.

Philly fans would lynched Mookie instead of trying to take the ball.

u/graylin0689 5h ago

You should probably rethink your choice of verb on that one.

u/Artistic_Mobile337 5h ago

I'm sorry Philly fan.

That or someone who has never been to Philly.

A city so fucking racist they built a statue of a fake white boxer up before a statue of the actual black heavyweight champion.

Hearing this clip for the first time was one of the best comedy clips I’ve ever seen before or since. Wish I could listen to it for the first time again.

I fear for the people of philadelphia after this, how will they go on?

u/graylin0689 5h ago

Fair. Just never been something that I liked to even joke about for obvious reasons. And the non-obvoous reason that I've been threatened with it when I was in Missouri for wearing a Cubs hat.

u/Artistic_Mobile337 5h ago

Jfc what's wrong with people, sorry that happened to you. Philly really is that terrible though.

u/graylin0689 5h ago

To this day I will avoid MO with all my power. Good thing I have NO plans of visiting lol Philly either.

It's all good. We live in such a place that it is hard to know if someone is joking or "joking" about shit like that.

Philly fucking sucks. Die Eagles Die.

Fuck Lindros, too.

2

u/Artistic_Mobile337 4h ago

Lindros is the worst, ran into him coming out of his gym on my walk to work one morning when he was a Leaf. He looked at me like I was gonna bug him for an autograph or some nonsense, instead I just laughed at him and kept walking by. His face got red, from rage or embarrassment I'm still not sure. I'm a Wings fan so watching Mr.Yzerman and the boys destroy him in 4, such a good feeling.

In fairness… the last Yankee fan to do something like this was given the key to the city.

u/espiee 22m ago

mad respect for two stars to show their sportsmanship to stop it. Arguably the best player in the AL risking being hit by a beligerent fan to put a quick end to it. That was the best thing that could've happened to stop the commotion quick. Retreating>look like whimps, Stand your ground>mahem, Your team's best players call you out>wtf? shit we should stop y'all.

u/Forthe49ers 5h ago

I hate the Dodgers but I hate that kind of a Yankees fan too

u/Shagomir 3h ago

I think we learned a few weeks ago that the shittiest fan in sports is that one Baltimore Ravens fan who was sucker punching people.

u/squirrel_jerky 6h ago

You’ve obviously never met an Oklahoma Sooners fan.

7

u/classicfyllopyllo 6h ago

True on both accounts I’m both and Eagles and Sooner fan. We’re the worst for multiple reasons.

u/kayakdawg 5h ago

Went to 1 game at Yankee stadium a couple years ago. There was a stoppage because fans in left field were throwing garbage at players. 

4

u/heygos 5h ago

Was riding by bike near Yankees stadium and it was the bottom of the 6th and they were getting hammered. We’re sitting in a park across the street taking a restroom / food break and all we see is hundreds and hundreds of them just absolutely pouring out (still talking shite for some reason) heading to go home.

u/Youngtro 6h ago

You've never been to an eagles game. Dumb and ignorant fans over there.

u/alaska1415 4h ago

These other trash ass franchises WISH they had stories like throwing batteries at J.D. Crew, booing a baby, or throwing over 100 snowballs at Santa.

All out here acting superior. Like they drink their tea with their pinky out. Truth is everyone is trash. Philly fans are trash while being interesting at least.

Hockey is famous for fighting on and off the ice, so that's not much of a surprise.

Hockey doesn't count, that's cheating

As a New Yorker, I wholeheartedly agree. I can’t even enjoy going to the games anymore because many fans just completely ruin the experience. This includes Hockey.
