As a Yankee fan who went to college in Massachusetts the non stop Yankee Sucks chants grew a little tiresome. I have no issue with Yankee Sucks chants when the Red Sox are playing the Yankees, in fact I think they should be encouraged. However, 9 times out of 10 the Yankee Sucks chants come in some random moment that makes no sense, like home games versus the Devil Rays or completely random like the Patriots Superbowl parades. What the hell do the Yankees have to do with the Patriots winning the Superbowl, people in Boston are just a bit obsessive over the Yankees. It was annoying, so anytime a Red Sox fan gets tooled on I find it amusing, especially when it's a ten year old.And this is where Shelley Duncan comes in. When asked for an autograph from a little Red Sox Nation misfit he signed it Red Sox Suck, Shelley Duncan. Of course the mother of the kid is going to whine like a little bitch about how Shelley doesn't represent the Yankees well and that he shouldn't be using the word suck. You just brought your kid to a Yankee Red Sox game I'm pretty sure he was surrounded by F*ck the Yankees chants, People 100% inebriated, and some fights between Yankee and Red Sox fans. I think he can handle viewing the word sucks.
Shelley of course has no problem with what he did and that's why he's the man.
“I thought I was back in middle school or high school, where you try to make a joke or say something funny, and you end up saying something that gets you in trouble, I try to be interactive with people, be funny, have a good time and have a laugh. It’s not always Yankees fans that have us sign stuff. I try to rile ’em up and be fun. I don’t expect anybody to make a big deal about it. Nobody ever has before.”
That's what you get kid for asking for the enemies signature. Now go to the other damn dugout and get JD Drew's ink, that's gonna be worth a lot of money someday.
