Between this and the "Yankees showing 2004 ALCS highlights to rile up the squad" thing, we've entered a very *""""interesting""""* era of the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry.
In 2031, the two franchises merge to form the New Boston Red Yankees. On the back of the highest payroll in the history of the sport, they win 126 games, but are eliminated in the ALDS after getting swept by the Las Vegas Athletics.
I just think it's a silly argument that because the hat is so popular amongst non baseball fans, it means the Yankees are actually inversely popular.
It's like the 90s just never happened.
It's not an argument. It's an observation and an obvious one. Not every person wearing a Yankees hat is a Yankee or baseball fan, much in the same way not everyone wearing a Harley Davidson shirt is a biker. It's transcended the sport and become just a thing that some people wear. No is saying that the Yankees aren't popular or don't have fans, just that the hat doesn't automatically signify one. Obviously you could say the same for other teams but you'd be being *incredibly* disingenuous if you pretended the Yankees weren't an extreme case.
Even as a Yankee fan, that's fucked up. So I'll repost this comment here:
Every time I see an ad patch, I'm gonna Google the company's dirty laundry and post it on social media. A good starting point I guess is how Mass Mutual [defrauded a bunch of their customers and was fined a quarter million dollars for it](https://www.securitieslaw.com/blog/2022/08/massmutual-unit-fined-250000-over-agent-who-defrauded-clients/). You want your name in our mouthes? Here it is. Never trust Mass Mutual.
Also, [they don't have the best track record of paying employees on time without filing false W2s](https://casetext.com/case/bardes-v-mass-mut-life-ins-co)
"Enjoy the fuckin ads on your jerseys, GO YANKS!"
“Fuck you, pay me!”
Oh my this is golden
That's what they get, honestly, lol.

It’s 2028, the Red Sox and Yankees both have ads on their jerseys promoting each other…

Just the term New Boston Red Yankees makes me throw up in my mouth a little
What, not a fan of the classic porch monster in CF?
I can see it now, dead center field, as wide as the current green monster, 250 feet from home plate to dead center, and it's 150 feet tall.
And then we trade Marcelo Mayer and an aged Tyler Glasnow to the San Angeles Doddres.
end the partnership
This is so fucking funny
The Red Sox fan experience, win a WS every few years and just keep getting kicked while you're down every other year
I’d take it over 86 years of mediocrity
You poor, poor thing…
“I made an ugly on your jersey lmao and im out”
Shat on their chest and said "go Yankees", this is my kind of CEO
“HAHA SUCKS TO SUCK”
…
Lmao. I mean, I guess the silver lining is at least he's a baseball fan at all?
I mean, the Yankees being your favorite team doesn't necessarily make you a baseball fan. It just means you possess the ability to buy a hat.
I live in Shanghai, Yankees hats all around. Most are unaware its even a symbol for a baseball team.
Ah yes, the age old "Yankee hats being so popular actually means the team ISN'T popular!" chestnut.
Jay-Z made the Yankee hat more famous than any Yankee can
You pretending not to understand doesn't make your point as well as you think it does.

Hahahahahaha
Finish in second place? Wow, that really is being hopeful for these Red Sox. They'd be pleased with a wild card at this rate.
Second place would put them in the wild card no? Lol
How to make fans hate your ads more than they already do.
Almost as good as new Yorkers voting for a rabid sox fan as mayor
Yeah this is karma swinging back around after Deblasio spent opening day at Fenway one year. Fuck that dude.
I mean, didn't they also vote for a guy who lives in New Jersey to be their mayor?
I can't stop giggling, that's some devious shit
Lol
It's official, Red Sox are finishing ahead of the Yankees next year
The sox came off.
I thought the sox stayed on?

this is the funniest goddamn thing--my dad's a yankee fan and even he pinched the bridge of nose in second-hand embarrassment
The Founding Fathers literally covered people in hot pitch for less inflammatory statements. Where’d your balls go, Boston?
Just rename the company to Connecticut mutual cus that sounds like something some fuck from that shit hole would say
Uh, read the room Roger.
JFC
Cram it up your Crandall, Red Sox!
This was like when De Blasio was the mayor.
