Great, so don't do that then. Plenty of communities don't play hostage to owners. (Look at Oakland, obviously.)
That still doesn't seem like a reason for your redacted "friend" to try and rile the peasantry's fury against Judge, all "OMG, that bastard has our money!"
I mean, lucky for Aaron he isn't black, I guess, so that the "how dare that pig make all that money for playing a game!!" venom could be true to its racist roots, but I've been watching capital dress attacks on labor up in faux-populism since Dick Young helped the Mets drive Tom Seaver out of town by claiming Nancy was jealous of Ruth Ryan, and I didn't like it then, either.
(The difference was that in 1977, the whole country hadn't been through 43 years of worker-crushing neoliberal hell, so I was only annoyed as a fan back then. Now that I know how this crap is used to kill Americans ["How you gonna pay for it, Bernie?? Huh? Huh?"], I'm even less tolerant than before.
But Yankee fans gotta Yankee, I suppose. [/somewhat triggered and probably over-broad. But still.])
