Don't forget NJ. We root for the Yankees too. Although when I do add up
my hours, I spend more time on the NY side of the Hudson. But I do agree
with you. Which is why I think it is a little funny to take too much pride
in a team you root for. I didn't make a decision to root for the
Yankees. It was already decided for me. But what if one grew up in Boston
and hated Boston because all his/her memories were bad. Could one root
for the Yankees because they are in essence rooting against Boston?
PS Has anyone ever meet a person that rooted for the Yankees and Red
Sox? I would argue they don't exist but it is possible. Again if anyone
said that to me I would believe that the person is really neither a Yankee
fan or a Red Sox fan.
