According to ESPN.com, a Yankees fan ran over a Boston Red Sox fan and bar patron in New Hampshire. The Red Sox fan died of the injuries he sustained, and the incident occurred after an argument started inside the bar when the Yankee fan made her allegiance known deep in “Red Sox Nation.”
I will admit to being a sports fan, but sometimes one needs to draw the line as to how fiercely to defend one’s hometown team. I want to hear nothing of how heated this rivalry is. Some things are just plain stupid.
In my mind, it is yet another reason to heap scorn upon the fans of both teams. Only would fans of either of these teams have such a trivial debate end with such an extreme outcome.
Stay classy, Yankees and Red Sox fans!
That story is just sad. And it’s not even close to representation of either team’s fan bases.

It’s a good thing the Red Socks fan didn’t ask for a cigarette. Oh wait, there probably needs to be an O’d fan somewhere in that scenario.

@Notorious R.O.B.: I have to admit, you’re right. This is one of those instances where an extreme behavior, and it’s really unfortunate what happened. That said, the fans I know of both teams would never do such a thing. This example is, sadly, truly fanaticism.
@the dailey breather: You’re neglecting the simple fact of the event needs to happen in West Baltimore. Of course, given that the Birds have been over 10 years of Bad, I don’t think one would go to such extremes.
