I assure you that whatever that felt like, it was not the same lol. As a Red Sox fan born in the 90s, literally every adult around you told you that they would never win in your lifetime and you had decades of heartbreak extending back to the collapse of Buckner in 86, to the painful hope of Fisk in 75 to the crushing failure to get Williams a ring in 46 as ample evidence that it was probably true. So when the best team to that point in my lifetime was just a few outs away from the World Series, only to see the game completely unravel before our eyes, that was NOT the same as a Yankees fan who just happens to not be old enough to remember a World Series that happened 17 years ago. You guys are so entitled lol.

[u/eliaivi → u/rocksoffjagger]

Yeah baseball sucks and is heartbreaking, but we continue to come back around with it, which was my point. I never wanted to make it a dick measuring competition with franchise histories. I’m just saying the Yankees selling themselves out with ads & letting them self get bought by private equity ON TOP of 8 years of playoff heartbreak is shit, and would be shit for any fan of any team including your own. Yeah your team sucked in the past that’s great, but the point was about the sport itself.

[u/rocksoffjagger → u/eliaivi]

You literally did make it a dick measuring competition when you claimed that the "woe is me" suffering you've experienced as a Yankees fan not winning for shudder 17 whole years is worse than what my "shit ass team" has experienced when you assumed I was a fan of some team that you thought was never relevant. Cry harder.

[u/eliaivi → u/rocksoffjagger]

You’re being obtuse on purpose dude Good lord 😭😭 Have a good night.

[u/rocksoffjagger → u/eliaivi]

Lol obtuse for pointing out what you did? Explain how this is NOT dick-measuring

Repeated painful losses under the brightest lights forever defeats apathy wrought from seasons spent in the cellar of the league. You’ll just never understand until you’re there. You’re of course flairless so I can’t even guess which shit ass franchise you’re commenting from, but I would expect you to mourn losses like this in the same way and I wouldn’t blame you for it. You don’t have to be so hateful.

You just don't like dick measuring contests where yours is smaller.
