Red Sox - Yankees = Someone dead

A female Yankee fan is accused of running down a male Red Sox fan, killing him. According to ESPN they were arguing in a bar and the argument was taken out side. The Yankee fan then decided that she was going to run over the Red Sox fan so she did.

This is some more of the stupid things people do. Why even argue over a ball team? I am a huge sports fan, and I talk my trash to people just as much as anyone else. But I know that I can expect it in return. I have play recreational sports all my life and even then trash is talked. But people do not kill people over it. I knew I had to back up what I talked about on the field because at the end of the game it was time to shake hands and forget about it. But killing someone over a team that you have no control over.

Sports are suppose to be entertainment. We are suppose to watch the others play the game. Yes we can have or favorites. But if our favorite team was the only team out there, then they would have no one to play. I am not a Yankees fan, but I respect them for what they did in the 90's. I am not a Red Sox fan either, but two year ago they made a remarkable comeback against the Yankees. I think Jose Canseco should go to the hall of fame. He seems to be the only honest ball player out there. And I am still amazed at some of the HR's he hit, even though he was on steroids. But I am not going to kill someone because they do not like him.

Now this Yankee fan has killed someone in the Boston area. She is going to most likely spend a few years in prison in the Boston area. She will most likely get to see all the local coverage of the Red Sox for a long long time. Now that was really stupid. Oh never mind, I forgot that we supply our criminals with cable television and computer networks. What a waste of money.

There are a lot of "sick" cruel people in this world. I couldn't agree more with you about the waste of money on cable TV for the prisoners.

Lesson for life is, watch out and beware. You never know what nutty person lurks near!
