Forget Cricket and the IPL...This enmity dates back even before the countries of India and Pakistan were ever formed...! And what is even more interesting is the fact that people go crazy run amok, just for sports even in a developed country like the US.
And of course, the rivalry is purely based on sports. And that too, between 2 teams that are from the same country, privately owned and purely based on money!
One thing that never ceases to amaze me how the fans here (in Boston) spend so much time, energy and money on hating the Yankees.
If you want to know more about it, do check out this Wikipedia Article..!
This thought was kindled during a recent visit to Jordan's Furniture next to my place in Reading, MA. The photograph depicts a Monster, wearing Sox Jerseys holding a Yankees Star in one hand and a baseball on the other. The hand was moving towards the monster's mouth as if the star was about to be swallowed!
Go Sox!
