People in Boston take being a Red Sox fan very seriously. The Yankees are the Evil Empire!
Example 1 overheard in the elevator this morning:
Guy 1: sucks about the game last night
Guy 2: what do you mean? It was awesome!
Guy 3: oh yeah, you're one of those*
* obviously referring to the creature from outer space: a Yankee fan (living in Boston, no less). Obviously someone with mental deficiencies.-----
