Besides, although it's frustrating, you only hate what I said because it's all true.

That's a broad statement, isn't it? I suspect there's a lot of grudging respect between the two fan bases, as there seems to be with all great rivalries.
I'm not denying it's true. My point is, that the Yankees are
easy to hate, because their success is largely based on their enormous financial advantage over most other teams. They are able to
buy the players that they need to be dominant at will, and the
attitude that goes with that is unbearable to fans of other teams. I know from what I speak, as my team basically served as their Triple-A club through most of the 70's. It's like rooting for IBM, for God's sake.
Besides, it's my
birthright to hate the Yankees.
