Jimmy Kimmel slammed Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for not supporting the New York Yankees, despite the fact that they are one victory away from bringing a World Series to the Bronx.
“What’s the deal with your mayor, de Blasio? Is there something wrong with this brain?”
The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host then played a clip showing how the mayor “celebrates” the success of his city’s baseball team. A local news anchor reported that de Blasio is “such a die-hard Red Sox fan” that he said it would be “physically impossible” for him to support the Yankees, despite the financial and morale boosts that would come with the Fall Classic being played in the city he is expected to oversee.
