Report: Yankees fans really are evil
By Cynic on Wed, 09/15/2010 - 9:55pm
Fellow suffering Red Sox fans, I bring you schadenfreude:
Gym-locker heists, bank robberies, daylight holdups — these New York City crimes have only one thing in common, and it is not the culprits.
It is the Yankees caps they wore.
A curious phenomenon has emerged at the intersection of fashion, sports and crime: dozens of men and women who have robbed, beaten, stabbed and shot at their fellow New Yorkers have done so while wearing Yankees caps or clothing.
That's right. The New York Times confirms what Hub denizens have long known: Yankees fans actually are evil.

Adam, I love how your Sox-cap-wearing post is about ten times as interesting as the NYT article thinking it's a trend that New York Yankees caps can be found on some New York criminals.
It was a great post then, and
It was a great post then, and remains so today. Obviously, local athletic paraphernalia is popular among gangs and individual criminals everywhere - just as it is among the population at large. I was aiming for humor; I don't think the Times story really comes close to establishing its premise.
Somebody needs to invent Internet eyebrow raising
I got it; I was actually agreeing with you it was a dumb premise for a story.

That Explains It!
When Whitey was around, any Yankees-capped thugs would meet street justice!
Now that he's gone, the dress code has changed.
