In honor of baseball season, which has just kicked off in the United States, I would like to extend some friendly advice to the Londoners and various Europeans I see roaming the streets wearing New York Yankees baseball caps.
My dear friends, I totally understand why you think wearing Yankees merchandise is cool. The Yankees are probably the American sports team with the most global reach. As such, their logo is mistakenly considered to be a hip symbol of Americana, like Elvis Presley or handguns. But as your friend, I’m here to tell you that by wearing the Yankee logo anywhere on your person, you are sending out the following messages:
I Love Wussy Pretty Boys
Satan, Lord of Darkness, Is Swell
If Given the Chance, I’d Squeeze Derek Jeter’s Ass
These aren’t the kinds of signals you want to send out, are they? I didn’t think so. Now that you know exactly what the Yankees logo stands for, persist in wearing it at your own risk. Whatever you do, don’t wear it if you visit Boston. Otherwise, you might be beaten senseless by a guy with no neck.
