You know, Koolzach1, your comments are so ridiculous.....such nonsense.... that they merit no further reply.

Because I said that she was provoked, but what she did was very long and that she does deserve to go to jail. The lady is clearly wrong, and needs to get life for taking a life; I won't dispute that.

Read some more into it, chief.

The media, especially a Boston or New York outlet, is obviously going to spin this to seem like the murder was solely over the difference in rooting interests, when there's probably more to the story than that. Like, oh, I don't know, alcohol? Considering she refused a test...In which case, the alcohol is the culprit, not the fact that they root for different teams.

Yeah, everyone shouldn't make this out like it is a Yankees - Red Sox thing.

It's clear from the more detailed of the stories, if you go beyond reading just the sensationalized headlines, that there was an unrelated confrontation that sparked it that had nothing to do with fan loyalties. From the NY Post:

Hernandez approached one of their pals, a female bartender, who was urinating behind a tree, and punched her in the head.

The friend said they became angry and chased Hernandez into her car, and she ran over Beaudoin's foot as she pulled away.

After that, they yelled "Yankees suck" as she drove away. She circled around and came back and drove at them. Obviously she was already angry, she'd already punched someone, and there's no way to know that she could even hear as she sped away in her car exactly what they might have been saying.

But that headline made it one of the most-clicked stories, where a story about any run of the mill bar fight death in New Hampshire wouldn't even be reported in NYC.

Yep.

As We Suspected...

Exactly. No one would actually murder someone over them being a fan of a rival team. That is, no one except Yankee fans, the most rude, jealous creatures on earth.
So all I have to say is, typical Yankee fan.

You obviously haven't dealt with Cubs fans up close and personal.

Rude-Spill beer on everyone around them, cursing with grandmothers and children sitting in front of them.

Jealous-100 years, I understand this part
