Comment on Yankee fan site exemplifies the problem: weak, malleable Yankee fans

"Obviously, it was the anti-Yankee bias. Listening to ESPN Radio today, Keith Olbermann stated the same thing. Later, Dan Patrick corroborated when mentioning that Derek was 6th on someone's ballot.

• Unfortunately, this is the way it will be until either some baseball team overtakes us in championships or the New York Yankees become the Boston Yankees."

This comment was on waswatching.com tonight, a defeated Yankee fan totally accepting the corrupt system without a fight, saying: "unfortunately,this is the way it will be," DOCUMENTING WHAT I'VE ILLUSTRATED HUNDREDS OF TIMES: THE OBVIOUS BIAS AGAINST YANKEES FOR BBWAA AWARDS WILL CONTINUE, BECAUSE WEAK, MALLEABLE FANS ALLOW IT TO. THEY HAVE NO BACKBONE.

• Printed in a major daily a few years ago, a little-known Minneapolis voter became an international celebrity when it became known he did not vote for a particular Yankee who was up for a league award. It was the greatest moment of his life.

But, for days and decades, greater service and power will be given by weak fans who'll DISCUSS AND ANALYZE THESE RIDICULOUS AWARDS, TRYING TO SEE INTO THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE TERRIBLY INTELLIGENT VOTERS' MINDS.

• YOU PEOPLE WHO GIVE THIS PROCESS CREDENCE ARE A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM. DO YOU EVEN INSIST ON THE NAMES OF THE 28 VOTERS AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS? I HAVE. (I'VE JUST OBTAINED THE LIST OF 28 VOTERS AND THEIR VOTES. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN SUCH A LIST PUBLISHED, AFTER MANY EFFORTS TO DO SO). IF YOU ONLY SPEND A MINUTE OR 2 LOOKING AT MY BLOG, YOU'LL SEE WHY THE MOST DESERVING YANKEES WILL BE ESPECIALLY SINGLED OUT FOR DISHONOR.
• LET'S SEE, JUSTIN MORNEAU IS CANADIAN, AND THE 2 VOTERS FROM TORONTO BOTH PUT HIM #1. BUT, OF COURSE THERE'S NO LOCAL BIAS, LET'S ANALYZE THE THIRD LAYER OF THEIR CEREBRAL CORTEX.
• AND HEY, THERE'S MY GOOD BUDDY MATT HURST OUT IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, HE DIDN'T PUT THE YANKEE FIRST. BUT, NO SURPRISE, MATT HURST IS A VERY BUSY VOTER. AREN'T THERE ANY OTHER VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA? I MEAN, JUST A YEAR AGO HE GOT TO PUT HIS STAMP ON THE AL CY YOUNG AWARD...AND LEFT MARIANO RIVERA OFF THE BALLOT ENTIRELY.

WHAT'S MORE INTERESTING IS HOW WEAK AND ACCEPTING YOU ARE ABOUT THIS CORRUPTION. (AND I'M NOT EVEN GETTING INTO THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS INVOLVED). P.S. WHEN AN EVEN MORE DESERVING YANKEE WAS LEFT OFF A BUNCH OF BALLOTS RECENTLY, THE FOLLOWING WAS THE RESPONSE FROM THE PLAYER'S WEBSITE (A SITE NOT OFFICIALLY AFFILIATED WITH THE PLAYER, BUT USING HIS NAME, CLAIMING TO BE HUGE FANS, AND LISTING A BUNCH OF NEWSY ITEMS ABOUT THE PLAYER):

• "OH, WELL."

That was the Yankee fan site's response. Talk about weak. Some fan.
