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.

Yeah, it's a good thing you guys didn't blow it in the '90s.
God damn those teams were good. Manny, Thome, Albert Belle, Lofton in his prime, Vizquel, David Justice in his prime, Sandy Alomar in his prime, Carlos Baerga (when he was good)...etc etc...
How did you not win?
