The New York Yankees are down 0-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS. To listen to their fans complaining on social media, though, you'd think that the team was a poverty franchise that hasn't even been relevant for more than three decades.
Oh, wait – that's the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What exactly makes being a Yankees fan so terrible? Making the playoffs every year? Having a massive payroll? Having Aaron Judge on your team? It all sounds like a real struggle.
Pirates fans see Yankees fans as complaining from a position of unimaginable privilege, while they’ve spent decades enduring mismanagement, tanking, and irrelevance.
