Rangers owner Chuck Greenberg: Yankees fans are violent, apathetic embarrassments

Take it from me, Chuck Greenberg, you don’t want to call Yankees fans names! Here was the Rangers owner on ESPN radio this morning:

“I thought Yankee fans, frankly, were awful. They were either violent or apathetic, neither of which is good. So I thought Yankee fans were by far the worst of any I’ve seen in the postseason. I thought they were an embarrassment.”

Know what? I think the Rangers have gotten a ton of great juju out of putting Nolan Ryan out in front of all of the postseason festivities and by making him the face of the franchise. It’s probably best that they keep things that way and slap a gag order on Greenberg.

In other news, how freaking sweet will it be if after (a) Kristen Lee criticized Yankees fans; and (b) Chuck Greenberg tore them a new one, Cliff Lee still goes to New York?
