Spike Lee explained why he has ‘respect for the Red Sox’ despite being constantly trolled by fans

Spike Lee and Red Sox Nation: Filmmaker Spike Lee is well known for being one of the more passionate sports fans who also happens to be a celebrity, famously cheering (and heckling) from his courtside seat at Madison Square Garden.

And while Lee has become more noted for his Knicks fandom, he’s also an enthusiastic Yankees supporter. This comes despite the fact that Lee owns a home on Martha’s Vineyard, a fact which he recently mentioned in an interview on “The Rich Eisen Show.”

Speaking to help promote the release of his new movie, “Highest 2 Lowest” on Apple TV+, Lee discussed the Yankees’ current status and playoff hopes.
