The Usual

I just can't believe that. I can see if you show up wearing a Yankees Suck t-shirt or some other intimidating garment, but to simply go to the game and support your team and have this result?

Is there a rivalry, or not? If we are the ones "so obsessed" with it, why did this poor woman get treated so horribly? And please don't give me the the old "this is an isolated example" garbage, because I've heard countless accounts of this exact thing.
