Sports Fan

I hate when people think that just because I am girl, it means I can't comprehend sports or I can't be a sports fan.  News flash, I can comprehend and I am a sports fan.  I have always been a sports fan, and I have always played sports.  I enjoyed some more than others and spent a majority of my life playing soccer.  I have also spend a majority of my life watching the Yankees with my father.  It was the only thing on our television from April until October.  I am not a front runner, I am not a bandwagon fan, I am a true fan.  I can't help that I was brought up a team that others criticize whenever they get a chance.  I am tired of defending myself to the "boys club" when it comes to talking sports.

For the record, as a baseball fan, I would have been quite happy had the Orioles won the ALCS.  It has been 15 years since they have been in such a position and it would be exciting had they kept on going.  Am I happy that the Yankees won?  Obviously, but I would have also liked to have seen what the Orioles could have done.  It was a good series and I am hoping we can do it again next year.  It has been fun having a friendly competition with the O's fans in my life!

On to the ALDS!  Go Yankees!
