Why does everyone hate the New York Yankees?
Question:I understand that they have the largest payroll and I also understand that they always win. Here is the problem these are stupid reasons to hate the team. There are a lot of owners in baseball with lots more money than george steinbrenner. George just wants to win, and he will spend whatever is necessary to make that happen. Is it that bad of a thing to have a passion for the team that you own? The yankees have History and a passion for the game. I remember in the 80's and 90's the yankees were terrible and people still hated them. What is it about them that makes people hate the team? I am a huge Yankees fan but I ould like opinions from both sides.. best answer get points.

Just as the last time this question was asked, your stupid reasons to hate the team are actually legit reasons to hate the team. When one team can outspend another by 5 times, it stands to reason the team spending more is going to be hated.(I really do not fault Steinbrenner for that - he is playing within the rules. I fault those who set the rules.)
You mention the 80s and 90s when the Yankees were bad, but you forgot the late 60s and 70s when they were worse.
But since you mentioned the history of the Yankees go back and study the complete history of the team and you will discover that hating the Yankees is just something passed down from generation to generation (my mother, from whom I got my love of baseball, also passed down her hatred of the Yankees to me).
It was said at one point that rooting for the Yankees was like "Rooting for US Steel".
Did you know that for a brief while in the 50's there was a rule against dealing with the pennant winning team from the previous year during the current season because the Yankees kept picking up players in trades to help them?
Why do so many people hate the Yankees? Because they are the Yankees.
(Now I know you will end up picking for the best post something along the lines of, "because other fans are jealous.")
What is this fascination with Nolan Ryan? Mere numbers?
Because we can. LOLWhat is the seating capacity at Miller Park?
The main reason is, as you stated (their winners), 26 World Series Titles, enough said.The players do not play for the sport of it. They play for the money. And only the money. George wants to win no matter what, and paying some of these players as much as he does just so he can win, that is what baseball fans hate. It takes away from the sport of it all. The players are pompous, just as George is. Anybody can buy a team and build the team with money. But it takes a good owner and franchise to build a team. The Yankees don't do that. They buy their players. How sad.
think about it..everyone hates the yanks because ya'll are and we arent! sure they have won coutless titles BUT throw in steinbrenners huge wallet and ability to out-spend almost everyone else, and when push comes to shove, well, you guys are going to take some abuse. i'm a contrarian, so i knd of admire the yanks, albeit secretly, (shhhhhh dont tell anyone). just enjoy following your team and dont worry about the hateuhs a the world!
What is the W-L series history of Dodgers vs. Giants?
Because they are a bunch of P.ussies!I agree 100%. They aren't playing for the sport, they are playing for the money. 90% of them are rude arrogant "fishpoops."
I love baseball for the entertainment, the skill... the will to play your heart out... I'm a fan win or lose.
I like teams that work at getting better... not teams that buy players to get better.
I'm a Seattle Mariners fan. win or lose!

The reasons why people hate on Yankees and their fans are because of their extreme nagging of their "winnings." There wouldn't be as much hatred if they just played the game and stopped making troubleI do because I am a BRAVES fan, and why do you say everybody hates them. There are more ugly NY caps being worn than any other!
so you want to argue about how he doesnt buy his players...granted all those guys came up through the system...but after they become bonafide superstars it takes money to keep them there. and what about all the talent that they have that didnt come up through their farm system. ok? they had to buy players...enough said...
I am and Indians fan, born and raised in Cleveland. I don't just hate the Yankees, I hate every team that isn't my Indians. That is what a true blue die hard fan does. I even hate the San Diego Padres. (sorry padres fans, just picked a team.) Why?? Because they are not my Tribe. Thanks for the 2 points.
Because it's easy to be a Yankees fan. Real baseball fans are there through thick and thin, not when the team wins all of the time.
What worst thing about espn and fox baseball telecasts?
Because they spend money so recklessly! Their payroll is WAY over every other team (except Boston). And no, they are NOT a lot of owners with more money than Steinbrenner (they ones that do, don't spend it like he does). Baseball shouldn't all about money!! And, they don't win anymore! They flop each time they get to the playoffs, recently! No one likes the overpaid...The money arguement is definitely valid. The Yankees have 200 million dollar payroll!! The Red Sox and Mets come second at about 135 million dollarss. Over 65 million dollars. That could 3 STAR players. The rest of the league averages 75 million. With that money you should win the World Series every other year (at least).
Those players might have come through their farm system, but the money spend while they are in the MLB. They pay like crazy to KEEP them there! And then there is/was A-Rod, Sheffield, Randy Johnson, Jason Giambi, Bobby Abreu, Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Mike Mussina, etc. These players are all payed more than 10 million!
Are there minimum dimensions for a major league baseball park?
Not EVERYONE does. They do have some misguided fans in New York who continue to live on Yankee PAST glory and think their club is always the best. Well, this year they certainly are not. Watch!! They will blame their collapse all on the hamstring of Mussina. Then they will boo him for getting hurt. That's why the Yankees are hated by those who do hate them.Chow!!

Many people don't care for Steinbrenner because he comes off as a jerk most of the time. Others don't care for the superiority complex the team seems to project. Still others don't like the dynastic teams and pull for the underdog. Personally, I grew up in the 50's and 60's when they played in the WS 9 times from 1955-1964, winning the WS in 4 of those appearances. These were, of course, great baseball teams. I found myself cheering for the underdogs in most of these series. I have a great deal of respect for the greatness of this team over time. This year will likely be another outstanding year for the Yankees.What does "rubber" mean in a "rubber game?"?
I have to hate them because I am a dodgers fan. Just look at how many times the Dodgers have lost to the Yankees in the World Series. But I can see other reasons why people hate the Yankees. I think partly it has to do with the fans. Even teh ones that don't really like baseball and almost never watch it claim to be Yankees fans. I mean come on, just say you don't like baseball. Also, if they don't win it all it is like an insult to them, the fans, that another team is good enough to win the World Series. They look down at every other team, even the ones that are consistantly good. That affects more of why people hate them than the team themselves.Do you think the Astros should get rid of Brad Lidge?
