Now the Red Sox, on the other hand, are a totally different story.
Well, hating a team that wins a lot is a natural way for fans of all the other teams that don't win as much to bond.

If you have fans of two different teams sitting together, talking about hating the Yankees is easier than talking about the teams they like.
