Yankees Suck
No truer statement was ever made.
And I'm a born Yankee (A.L. team) hater.
Oh please. Get over it (and yourself).
If you honestly believe that, why would you repeat it?
No truer statement was ever made.
“Yankees suck” is both profane AND offensive.
And I’m a born Yankee (A.L. team) hater.
Agreed, we are becoming a nation of trash all the way around.
She went about this all wrong — she should have claimed that she was a NY native and was wearing the shirt to celebrate the alternative lifestyles of some of the Yankee players and fans. Then added that if her celebration and expression of support for that alternative lifestyle was going to get her ejected, she would sue the Rangers and Tom Hicks for discrimination against the oppressed closeted gays on the Yankee’s squad and in their fan base...
During my younger days, the word “sucks” was profane and vulgar as it referred to oral sex. When my daughter was a teenager, I got tired of hearing her use the word, so I told her what it meant to me. She blushed and did not use the word after our talk.
I agree...
Absolutely agree.
Back in the late 70s I was doing work for the Yankees and they owed me a favor. My father, who took me to my first game at the Polo Grounds before my fifth birthday, called me and asked if I could get a pair of tickets for the two of us for the playoff game that was schedule for the following evening. I called a big cheese at the Stadium and asked whether he could get me tickets. He said he only had outfield boxes, but he could give me two lower tier reserved seats behind first base. I told him that the seats behind first would be fine so that's where we sat. BTW, this was a year where there were numerous complaints in the papers about real Yankee fans essentially having been shut out during the ticket buying process for the playoffs. So my guess is that at least half the people in our section probably got their tickets the same way I did. The haze of marijuana smoke and the constant shouts of profanity around us caused me to ask my father if it had been like that when I was a child and I just didn't notice. (It hadn't been.) Others can say, "What's the big deal," but we've clearly gone way down the decency ladder as a society, and tolerating crude behavior at public events like a baseball game was one of the rungs.

Damn Yankees!
You're right. "The American League team from New York sucks" removes the profanity.
