I hope the Yankees win.
Hear me out. I'm not from Boston, I'm actuall from NY, but I don't care at all about baseball.
But sports are kind of like a movie or TV show. If the villians never show up with their game face on, what's the point of watching?
Since we didn't win last year, the Lakers winning, while disgusting and revolting, was good in retrospect. It motivates us even further. Who needs a hero if there is no villain trying to tear down everything you know and love?
