I don’t usually post at work, but I felt compelled to spend my lunch break writing this because the more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is.
What is it? Gary Matthews, Jr, calling out the fans at Fenway and calling the fans at Yankee Stadium "couth".
Here’s some of his quote about Fenway and Red Sox fans:
"They’re loud, they can be obnoxious. It’s one of the few places you hear racial comments every once in a while. It’s different.
He then goes on to say:
"New York, they are passionate about their team, they really know the game, but sometimes they have a little bit more couth … a little more class than the fans in Boston."
I present you with the ‘couth’ of New York fans. And, keep in mind, up until less than a month ago, what takes place in the video below happened every night at Yankee Stadium. The organization knew about it and allowed it. Way to promote hatred, Yankees. Or, as Gary Matthews said, very ‘couth’ of you all!
(Warning, the audio is not suitable to listen to at work, around children, or if homophobic taunting bothers you in the least.)
