I like the NY teams. And of course other teams supporters are against the pats and Brady. Other fans are against the NYY and Arod as well but that in and of itself has nothing to do with guilt or innocence . Perennial winners like the NYY and Pats will always be despised by certain fans of the game because of jealousy. Of course they won’t say that so they come up with other reasons for their dislike for these opponents such as higher payrolls for the Yankees allowing them to buy the championship and favoritism by the officials and an easier schedule for the Pats.
When this sort of thing happens the detractors have something REAL they can latch on to which proves they were right all along.
Ha! Down South, true Southerners hate the Yankees, mostly because of their name—like some SJWs hate the Washington Redskins.
Change the team’s name, and you’ll pick up some Southern fans!
J/K, in case anyone thinks I’m serious....
However, seriously, sports fans are sometimes SO illogical and cannot divest themselves of their hate for the other side/love of their side. It is VERY tribal. It always need to be acknowledged on any argument about sports.
