In case you missed it here is a quick recap of what I mean
by “Boycott the Yankees” and that the movement has started. In my book review
of Mike DeLucia’s book “Boycott the Yankees” I kind of hit the high points of
what the book was about and suggested you pick up a copy for your own browsing.
Today I want to get a little more in depth with this and I want to start the
movement, or better yet continue the movement that Mr. DeLucia has started with
this book. We need to boycott the Yankees and take OUR team and OUR stadium
back.
This is a movement that I am 100% behind. Why? Because it
makes too much sense not to. No longer are the fans dictating where the dollars
are spent, when the dollars are spent and how the dollars are spent. They are
OUR dollars going into the team, the Steinbrenner family’s contribution is ZERO
to the payroll and to the new stadium that we continue to pay for, and we
should at least have something to say about it, right? Instead of the team
sitting on their hands while watching the best free agent class of the last
10-years or so to pass us while not signing anyone we want the Yankees to do
right by us, not do just enough to get the books into the green and preach
“World Series or bust” and “World Series caliber team” while counting your
money in your back room.
I’m angry with this team and this organization. I touched on
it a bit in my previous post, the contract and the money are dictating things
here and not what should be dictating things. On the field performance.
Character. Versatility. WINNING. I could spend hours ranting and raving on the
topic but I don’t think I could say it any better than Mr. DeLucia did. He
really lit a flame in me, a flame that has always been there but lacked the
organization to really do something about it, and I think it would have the
same effect on you if you read it.
Check out his website BoycottTheYankees.com where you can
sign his petition to take the stadium and the team back as well as purchase a
copy of the book and other pretty cool items. Again I want to reiterate that
this is not some sort of paid promotion. I get nothing for promoting the site
or the book and I get nothing if you buy the book. I am promoting it because I
believe in what the book says and the message it brings and I know you will
too. We interact all day, every day on twitter and I know you’re just as
frustrated as myself and Mr. DeLucia as well. Check out the book, sign the
petition and join the movement to take our team and our stadium back because
it’s not only the right thing to do it’s the only option we have left before
falling into eternal mediocrity on the field.
