Why does everyone hate the Yankees?

Jealousy is a bit of it, more of it is anger, imo.

The sense that even if you develop a good, young player, Steinbrenner and co. will come along and steal him from underneath you.

Interestingly, our friend Andrew Brandt spent some time yesterday comparing baseball and football in this economy.

Read the part at the end of the story about one of the Packers directors...fella by the name of Bud Selig.

No.....not jealousy.
If i wanted to, i could be a Yankees fan. But i don't want to. Why?
Because of Steinbrenner.
He has deep pockets, so it's NOT a level fair playing field for everyone. He steals away the best players, because he can afford to.
There SHOULD be a salary cap in baseball.
A couple of guys can "buy" the best players, and the small market teams (like Milwaukee) get screwed.
It would be like Nascar taking away the rules, and letting a couple cars go over 200MPH and the rest only 180MPH.
Who has a better chance at winning?
It's not fair.......plain and simple.
To me, it's cheating.

Cheesey said it all... Isn't the NFL going to be uncapped soon? Dallas is going to be one of the teams to really hate again if not already hated.

I don't think it will come to that. Both the teams AND the players know that would be the beginning of the end of the NFL. They would be killing "The golden goose".
If they DO let the cap end, then the owners and players are alot more stupid then i thought.

I've talked about this before, but I'm a HUGE Yankees fan, but I can not stand the Steinbrenners. What's bad is Hank is worse than George. I can't stand how the Yankees are run. The Yankees won in the 90s on the backs of guys that were brought up through the minor league systems, not by big names with big contracts. When they get back to that they'll get back on track. Cano, Gardner, Chamberlain, those are the guys I'm excited about. The one free agent that we picked up that I was excited about is AJ Burnett. If they had only picked him up and not CC or Teix, I would have been completely happy. The thing is that if there was a salary cap, people would still hate the Yankees, so I don't think the fact that they spend money has everything to do with why people dislike them.

What's funny though, is the Yankees' payroll is $10 million less than it was last year. We drop two guys and we end up having enough to sign four quality guys and have money left over.

I agree....there are MANY more reasons to hate the Yankees. But for me, it's only the "rich" trying to buy every championship. And even if they don't get that championship themselves, they have stolen away players from other teams that might have been the piece for THAT particular team to win a WS.
Other then that, i don't "hate" the Yankees, any more then any other baseball team.

The Dallas Cowboys are going to be the Yankees type team once it all goes non-capped in the NFL.
