Comedian/TV personality John Oliver’s twist on the locals: “As a sports fan in England I knew it’s just not acceptable to come to America and support the Yankees. It’s not OK. By default I was a Mets fan because I knew being a Yankee fan was the wrong thing to do morally. They are the biggest, elitist a–holes in all of sports.”
Blimey! Oliver, who rakes in $5 million (U.S.) a year for his TV show alone, knows it’s all about “the benjamins” and we will look to make a couple at the Stadium this afternoon. Elitist Yanks have left the Red Sox behind and have built a sizable cushion on Tampa Bay.
