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.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (22h) : HUMP DAY

beast (22h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (22h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (22h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (23h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (23h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (23h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (23h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (23h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (23h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
