I saw a dude wearing this T-shirt the other day.  I like the Yankees but I don't get it. He didn't get any rings. (I don't live anywhere near NY so I really and seriously doubt he was ever a player. Besides, he was at a bus stop.) So why get excited over something awesome someone else gets? I understand it's a way of bragging rights and that shirt isn't for me. So why have that kind of foolish pride? |

So should any fan have pride in the team's success, even for years before they were born?
And you realize that in this context, rings is shorthand for championships?

I get it that it's a way to celebrate a team's success. Just seems like an odd way to do it over something one will never have themselves. That shirt makes it seem like as if the wearer has a ring when they don't. Like I am a really big fan of the art of Van Gogh. When I hear of someone who gets one of his paintings at an auction, I don't feel excited for the buyer when I wish I had the money to buy it myself. |

If it were a friend of your that had gotten the VanGogh, would you feel excited for him then? |

You should've walked up to him and said, "No, and neither do the Yankees recently."

OP is a Packers fan, so with every passing year he has to convince himself that rings aren’t all that important.
