Tampa Bay's Luke Scott Thinks Red Sox Fans are "Vulgar"

"“Just their arrogance,” Scott said. “The fans come in and they take over the city. They’re ruthless. They’re vulgar. They cause trouble. They talk about your family. Swear at you. Who likes that? When people do that, it just gives you more incentive to beat them. Then when things like [the last game of last season] happen, you celebrate even more. You go to St. Louis — classiest fans in the game. You do well, there’s no vulgarity. You know what? You don’t wish them bad.” “I got to see a priceless thing driving back to my apartment,” Scott said. “I see all the Boston fans walking around, and I mean they were crying crocodile tears. People were like this, walking side by side.” “It was like someone shot their dog. I rolled down the window and I’m like, ‘Ah, hah, sucks doesn’t it, when someone laughs or makes fun of you when things aren’t going your way.'”"

We should probably condemn him, but this is fantastic. It’s legitimate animosity, a controversy Sportscenter need not blast through a megaphone. It’s a legitimate rivalry in a sport that deadens them through overexposure. Thank you, Luke Scott, for sparing us another inane Bobby Valentine nontroversy, if only for a day.
