He probably meant Jesus Alou because he played for the Mets!

Taken aback by the fellow at Canal St Rec. Center last night - Sunday April 1st - who was wearing a totally inappropriate t-shirt with the message:

"Jesus hates the Yankees"

Now you know how Oriole fans feels when 20,000 yankee fans show up at Camden Yards. Until Major League Baseball establishes a salary cap like the NFL, all fans outside of New York and Boston will continue to hate those two teams. When San Fran, St. Louis and teams like Tampa Bay can knock the Yanks off, it's like a breath of fresh air. Find something important to complain about or move back to New York.

I think he knew what he was talking about. He was one of the most well-liked professors on campus.

I try to live by his statement and not take everything too seriously in every case.

I wish everyone felt that way.

As a Yankee fan it only bothers me but as a Christian during Holy Week I am outraged. Jesus has many better things on his plate to deal with!!!!

If it was you; "Don't you have mirrors in your house?"

And if you would ask any of my Red Sox fan friends, I don't mind the normal good natured give and take... Its part of being a fan.

But this was a step too far.

Gee...

I agree with you TV-4-2!

Just an observation:

I've heard of "sore losers" but I never seen "sore winners", like when the Red-Sox beat the Yankees after being down 3 games in 2007. The Red-Sox players had nothing good to say about the Yankees.

Life is too short to be too little.

I better duck as I can almost see the tomato's being hurled my way.

BTW - Congrats to the Red-Sox for wiining last years championship. It gave the people of Boston a lift, after enduring that horrible bombing. Things like that are what is important, in the grand scheme of things. IMHO

Everyone knows Jesus is an Oriole Fan!

Wow, how does a thread like this keep coming back up...? It is a year and 7 months OLD! all about somebody wearing a t-shirt. boy we don't have much to talk about do we?

My reaction to the OP's post is, if you were so offended, why in the world did you repeat what the shirt said for everyone else to read? It's one thing to be offended, but it baffles me why someone offended would want to see if when they repeat the offensive message, it offends others too...especially if it offends because the word "Jesus" is sacred.

I feel better.

Why bring up these old threads.................start new ones.

[jblum315]

Jesus is such a common name among Mexican-Americans and others. At least it didn't say "Jesus Christ hates the Yankees"!!
