Really, New York? You’re Really Gonna Pull The Gay Card? Really? Really.
In case you haven’t seen it yet, this is the lead story in today’s New York Post.
Mmmhmm. And you know, homophobia is rampant in professional sports and all, and it’s one of those lame parts of our shared culture that just is, but real talk: Is there a team in all of Major League Baseball that’s gayer than the Yankees? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course, but allow us to consider these Yankees’ take on modern masculinity. There’s this:
Which is fine. But even if the MLB was co-ed, this kind of display of affection would probably be frowned upon. As would the rape-y atmosphere created when this sort of thing is going on:
But even off the field, something in the Yankees’ sexual psyche often leads to the age-old locker room question, If you could blow yourself, would you do it?
We think we know A-Rod‘s answer. And again, while we stress that there is nothing wrong with being a legitimate assclown…
… having all three NJ gubernatorial candidates on your side just wouldn’t seem to help. Then again, what do we know? Here in Philly, the Fightin’s inhabit the sexual imaginations of almost everyone. We think it’s a lot healthier this way. Like that famous bisexual Ben Franklin once said: Beware the man who photoshops a skirt onto you. He has wishes he’s too afraid to fulfill in real life.

When the Phillies take it in five, there will be no pie celebrations for the Yankees… just pie in the face.

Go to the NY Daily News and vote in their stupid poll (following the “Phantom Menace” article about how not-scared NY is of us). I voted Phillies in 4-5.

C’mon everyone; that’s some pretty good Photoshopping for a 1st grader.
…wait, you don’t think a grown-up did that do you?
Aww-now that is unfortunate.

i for one am grateful that Philadelphia sports fans are a tolerant politically correct bunch.

If I were Shane Vic, that photochop of me with the cheerleader skirt would be my Christmas card photo from now until eternity.

Ahh, the hallmark of the insecure: tell everyone how totally not scared you are and then talk a ton of shit. After reading this I am inclined to travel to NYC, and punch the first turd I see wearing anything yankees in the neck… but I think I will just wait for Black Taco, Choochacabra, and the rest of our guys to deliver the beat-down for me. I wonder if our victory parade could be arranged to travel down Broadway rather than Broad Street. Now THAT would be fucking awesome!! Humiliation on the scale of Alaric riding ahead of the Goths to sac Rome!!

just a bunch of phucking phags.

I guess on that lady Statue they have up there, the one that reads:”Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me…,” they meant everyone but gays. That’s fine. We have room for those people, in Philly, the birthplace of liberty. Philly, also home to WORLD FUCKING CHAMPION baseball players. Beat it, haters.

Speaking of Black Taco and Choochacabra, when are we going to get the next installment of Philebrity Phillies Photoshop Theater?

Have I ever mentioned? I FUCKING HATE MY BIRTH STATE OF NEW YORK!!!
Well I still have a piece of my heart in the land north of Westchester county. The Rest? Fuck it, suck it, demo it. The smug, arrogant atitude is why the rest of the world hates you New York.

“Their stadium had a jail cell for rowdy fans because they like throwing stuff at people”
- I can’t wait to throw stuff at them as they leave the game in the 8th inning.

I don’t know about anyone else, but seeing Shane Victorino’s upper half on the lower half of a sexy lady is leaving me extremely conflicted about my sexuality.

@ boggle: what, that you might be straight?

Where’s our NY Post mocking our foes?! Let’s see some Daily News heds like “Here come the Spankees” (perfect to go w/one of those butt-grabbing pics) Or on Mon, after they put LAA away, could’ve run: “Yankers pull it off” or maybe, “$208M and it takes you SIX GAMES?!” All in NYPost-like 50-point font, of course.
Defend our honor, DN…
