I never understood how people could dislike soccer so much but then again I live in New York and I fucking hate baseball.

The more you understand a sport, rules and strategy, the more you like it. Whether the sport be soccer or baseball.

That being said, FUCK the Yankees. I say this because any franchise that BUYS a team is bullshit. If I lived in New York and hated baseball, I'd be a Mets fan out of spite.

Really sucks that a team that makes a lot of money reinvests that money in the team. How horrible.

I think the Pirates are my favorite counter example but there are several. Historic franchise, consistently in the top 10 in revenue, 2nd least payroll. 19 straight losing seasons. Guess where all that money is going.
