Yankees Fans Irate Over Red Sox Playing ‘New York, New York’ After World Series
There really is nothing quite like triggered New York Yankees fans.
In case you missed it, the Boston Red Sox played “New York, New York” on Sunday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles after winning the World Series. The Red Sox, of course, played the same tune after beating the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series — an obvious shot at Aaron Judge’s antics earlier in that series.
Cut4 tweeted a video of the celebration, which you can watch below:

For the record: Cut4’s tweet originally read “The Red Sox also are the world champions of petty.” Why that tweet was deleted and replaced with a similarly aggressive one is anybody’s guess.
Yankees fans unsurprisingly were ticked off by the Red Sox playing New York’s anthem in clubhouse. Check out some of the reactions:
9 Championships in 117 years of existence. They should play New York New York because they’ll never win as many as anew York.

Not a great look for the Red Sox. Their 4th WS championship in 14 years including this year’s absolutely dominating team, and yet the Yankees are clearly occupying their minds as if they still view the Yankees as the big brother whose shadow they can’t escape

So they finally crossed over from plucky underdogs to smug douchebaggery… They have become that which they claim to hate.

Man, when Yankees fans get upset, they really get upset.
The rivalry is alive and well.
