Exposing The NY Yankee Propaganda Machine

The NY Yankee propaganda machine has brainwashed millions of impressionable people without them even realizing how much they’ve been duped.

Fans from all corners of the globe are told that the Yankees are classy and that the pinstripes have a way of making great players out of good ones, so they believe these glorifications and subsequently pile onto the pinstriped happy bandwagon without actually stopping to form an opinion of their own.

In a world where the dollar reigns supreme, the big advertising companies, mostly located on Madison Avenue in New York, want to put their money into a “winner.” 

They don’t want to pitch their clients’ products between innings of a game between the Kansas City Royals and the Baltimore Orioles.

They want to be associated with winning teams and winning players.

So the FOX Game of the Week perpetually pits the Yankees against whichever patsy New York happens to be playing that Saturday.

Inevitably, the kids who don’t have a hometown team of their own, or who have a perennial non-contender in their own backyard, start to root for the Yankees.

They ask Mom and Dad to buy them Yankee hats and Yankee jackets and eventually they’re old enough to get Yankee credit cards to buy overpriced Derek Jeter bobble-head dolls over the Internet and books like Yankee Century from the Yes Network.

With every purchase they make, the Yankee Empire grows richer and more powerful, leaping and bounding ahead of all other teams in the revenue department.

Here’s one example of just how insidious the Yankee propaganda machine is and how it operates:

Yankee shortstop Phil Rizzuto clearly does NOT belong in the Hall of Fame.

His career statistics are worse than players like Gary Templeton, Tony Fernandez and Dave Concepcion, all of who clearly, by virtually everyone's standards, do not belong in the Hall.

Rizzuto’s induction in the Hall demonstrates exactly how powerful the Yankee propaganda machine is.

It can even affect and influence the writers and members of the Veterans Committee who get to vote on Hall of Fame inductees.

The bottom line is that the NY Yankees take care of the media by providing them plenty of advertising dollars, and the media takes care of the Yankees by building them up to be more prolific then they actually are.

So the myth that the Yankees possess a special mystique is perpetuated and the dollars keep pouring into the Yankees’ pockets.

The Yankees win while receiving preferential treatment from the league and the media.

People are force-fed a diet of Yankee propaganda at a young age to indoctrinate them into worshiping this team that oppresses and deceives the public solely for the interests of their own monetary gains and imperialistic empire-building within the game of baseball and beyond.

If you root for the NY Yankees you have probably been brainwashed into becoming a Yankee fan and, until now, you probably have been completely unaware of it of how badly you've been manipulated.

It’s time to wake up out of your slumber and come to the realization that The NY Yankee organization is composed of horrible, unscrupulous people who have represented the oppressor since before you were born.

These are the same people who are laughing all the way to the bank as you blindly contribute your hard earned money, time and energy into following their "product" for no good reason other then you’ve been sold a bill of false goods.

The NY Yankees exist and thrive for one reason and one reason alone. That is to convert you into being a Yankee fan so they can bilk you out of your money and keep their big business machine rolling along.

They are not a baseball team as much as they are a corporate institution that is designed to rape, pillage and dominate the sports market and weaken competition within that market, and beyond, to further their self-motivated goals of global domination.

So you see, rooting for the Yankees, and supporting them monetarily, is essentially rooting AGAINST yourself and your family's best interests.

Don't be duped by the Yankee propaganda machine. Don't let this organization of econonmic terrorists and snake oil salesmen manipulate and use you. 

Fight back and show the world that you aren't a brainwashed puppet that will fall for something because you don't stand for anything.

Spit in the face of evil and scorn the Yankees.

Mock them, laugh in their faces and proudly say ...."Yankees suck!"
