Ya gotta feel for the New York sports fan. He/she is overcharged, under appreciated, served mediocre fare and upon returning home thru traffic is prone to kick the dog. Both pro football teams have had losing records for several years, the Brooklyn Nets are for sale, Derek Jeter has retired and the hapless Knickerbockers lost fifteen games in a row. They then flew to London for a change in venue and proceeded to lose number sixteen. A six-thousand mile round trip - it must have been a long ride home.
But the English fans were more compassionate - very little booing - and no one wearing brown paper bags on their heads as can be seen at Madison Square Garden. The only solace may be found at the ice rink. As we used to say "I went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out."
