Out of the entirety of Yankees and Red Sox "fans", only about a third are actual fans. This eliminates all fairweather fans, all people who wear the logo and don't watch games, and anyone who wears pink, green, or any other non-team-color jerseys.

Let's say, for shits and giggles, that one out of every four Americans is a baseball fan. That's 75 million people. If you divide that by 30 teams evenly (which baseball isn't divided like that, but let's just say this for now), that's 2.5 million fans per team. The Yankess and Red Sox have a lot more fans than the average team, so let's increase it by 50%, making a total of 7.5 million fans for both teams.

Taking into account what I said earlier, let's take a third of that number, leaving us with: 2.5 million true Yanks and Sawks fans.

That's not even 1% of the population. How the fuck can the WWL, Fox Sports, etc. justify giving so much fucking media coverage to these two teams? Joba Chamberlain takes a leave to go say hi to his dad and it rates front fucking page on ESPN.com for two days. Doug Davis makes two major league starts while having CANCER and it's a fucking footnote. What the fuck?!

People not from the North East don't have any money so advertisers don't care about them, so ESPN pushes up Yankee and Sox news to attract people who have money, who then see advertisements and buy shit.

Its simple economics that you would understand if there were schools where you're from.

I am pissed. Where I live there is no Major League team, so for a span of time I pick a team that I want to do well, I buy a hat of theirs and root for 'em. Well in 2003, I was a Red Sox fan. I got fucking sick of the Yankees and I wished them well. I stuck with them until 2005, where everybody on the fucking planed became Sox fans; which is why I am now a Blue Jays fan. yay @_@

just go with the closest one by distance.

but blue jays is a good choice.

They get the most coverage because they're the two highest-paid teams in baseball with the most money to throw around.

Maybe they just misinterpret all the Boston and New York hats they see around as widespread support for the teams as opposed to what they really are, just a hat that may have some sort of sentimental value as a connection to their hometown or whatever.

DD is a badass by the way. I hope he gets through this ok. I saw him in the dugout the other day (Sunday?) and he was looking good. Also, lol @ FSN Arizona having 30+ minutes of audio failure / wonkiness.

hah HAH bullshit. dodgers and angels never got any pub, they've got enormous payrolls in a major media market, and plenty of tradition (dodgers) and/or recent success (angels - hey, who has a more recent world series title, LAA or NYY?).

actually, i take that back. the dodgers get plenty of publicity now. because they hired joe torre.

I'm a Red Sox fan since birth, but I've received green shamrock hats and shirts from my family as gifts. I'm Irish.

I think that's OK, considering I've been a fan since I was 3.

There were like 22 thousand people at the Cleveland game yesterday. You can't even fucking fill a stadium. I watched the game and there were advertisements for pro-rated Indians season tickets.

Fenway park = sold out every single fucking day. I was there when it was pouring rain and we were losing to John Smoltz like 11-0 in the 9th inning. Most of the people were still there. People commit murder for Red Sox season tickets.

This is the reason there's more Yankees redsox coverage you small market fags. We have more / better / passionate fans. Now go back to trying to pro-rate your season tickets.

America = Red Sox Nation. Lol small market fags who can't even sell all their season tickets.

I've been a Red Sox fan since birth, I have gone to over 100 games in the last 23 years, I'm the man.

Being a Red Sox fan makes me better than everyone. Also, pinkhatters can go fuck themselves. Yankees are faggots. Also, cocks.

You are the man. I'd fuck you if I was gay. That'd probably be considered masturbation though...since I'm samefagging it up.

He is supposing Boston and New York Yankees have 2.5 million fans each. That is five million combined. Increase that (5m) by 50% and you have 7.5 million.

Europefags and Amerifags who don't bother to try to understand the other person's point of view and who always think they're right... this is the cancer that is killing /sp/.

There's a reason soccer (football) is the most popular sport in the world. (And it's not because the rest of the world is stupider than America).

There's a reason American football, baseball, and basketball are way more popular in America. (And it's not because America is stupider than the rest of the world.)

Let's all try to see things from the other person's point of view before flaming each other to death. If you can't do that, you should just shutup and post in your own threads / not post in other peoples' threads.
