I thought the Yankees did well in your childhood. Wats rough about that? Who doesn’t like the Yankees? If you’re Lubavitcher, the rebbe was a fan. If you’re not, reb moshe was as well. Trust me.
#FakeNews. The Rebbe was clearly a (Brooklyn) Dodgers fan.

You don't understand why people enjoy that their team wins, yet you're trying to understand why a Mets fan would hate on the Yankees?
At least that I can see why someone would care even though it is really irrational.

And after they were no longer, Yankees fan. Check if up. He clearly wasn’t an Indians fan

All of sports fanaticism is irrational. It's a diversion. If it existed in old Europe/Russia to the extent it does today, perhaps there would have been fewer pogroms...

Just like the diversion works to cheer on uniforms of teams you like, it also works to root against teams you don't. Especially teams that aim for a "villainous" rep like the Red Sox, Warriors, Yankees, etc.

I'm kidding around, but Ebbets Field was a few blocks from 770. You could hear the crowd from there!

I know you are kidding. Worry not.

If memory serves correctly, the Rebbe once asked Leibel Groner, "why do you look so down, the Dodgers won?" To which he replied, "the Groners are Yankee fans."

I believe on another occasion, the Rebbe asked Leibel, "nu, vos machen dein Yankees?"

Which is telling, because I'm pretty sure Rabbi Groner didn't follow any sport team, but Rabbi Krinsky was a admitted Red Sox fan. The Rebbe clearly didn't want to bring them up.

But the Rebbe must have been a Yankee fan, as the Yankees are truth. At the core of Chabad chassidus is the idea:

"איך וויל וויל זע גאָרניסט, איך וויל ניט דיין גן-עדן, איך וויל ניט דיין עולם-הבא, איך וויל מער ניט אַז דיך אַליין"

As portrayed in 8th Day's "Tatenyu", Yaakov Halevi's quest for #truth finds him "still a big fan of the Yankees".

I have a nephew that trashes his TV last year when the Cubs won. He is a Sox fan. Can be explained very simply as childish behavior.

Wow, sorry for starting all the hatred.
The Yankees are a great team, they'll be back, and Aaron Judge lead them in chasing their hopes and dreams...
As long as their hopes and dreams are low and outside  ;D ;D ;D

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Saying the best Astros reliever is like saying the best of the yellow laffy taffies.
