News / Media Fuck the New York Yankees

Posted by Mark Asch on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 1:58 PM

If it hasn't already occurred to you that the Yankees are a city-sized sinkhole of arrogance and entitlement, boosted by a reactionary crowd of exceptionalist douchebags, I can't help you with that, but maybe the cover of today's Post can.

Yeah, that's Shane Victorino (odd choice) photoshopped into a skirt. "Brotherly love" means "gay sex," don't you know.

Ha ha, brays the Yankee trumpet, what a shitty city is America's first capital; and what deluded pathetic fans, of the defending world champions, to think their team has a chance at the world championship.

Phillies in six.
