First off I am not a baseball fan, never have been, never will be. But why all the hate for the Angels? Hanging out with my kids (I'm a HS teacher) it is all the same gangbangers that in the Fall are sporting the Silver and Black. In the spring they rock the Dodger blues. I'm just sayin' . . .
My reason for hating the Angels is because before they got really good and won the World Series you NEVER saw Angels fans. Now theyre EVERYWHERE! People are coming out of everywhere claiming Angels love but where were they Pre-2000's? In hiding? Now, I am white so dont get me wrong but watch the game...there seems like there are ONLY white people there. That does not represent the community they are in. Which leads me to another thing....They are in Anaheim for Christ sake, NOT Los Angeles. Which leads me to my next reason for hating them. Lets jut settle on a name and a uniform already! How many lame ass unifrom changes have they gone through the last 10 years or so? Those hideous blueish gray unis with the blue pinstrips and the little angel wing on the "A". Haha, those were a joke. For a 5-6 year period they were constantly changing their uniform. And worst of all....California Angels, Anaheim Angels, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, my God just find an identity already. Do they not value something called TRADITION.
The reasons go on and on including that going to their games is like going to Disneyland and seems more like you're at a theatrical event than a sporting event. I guess its ok if you have kids who have no interest in baseball and no attention span because they will probably find that stuff interesting but when I watch a game I want to kick back with a Dodger Dog and a beer and watch quality baseball; without all the fireworks, T-Shirts and balls being shot in the air by those bazookas, and NO RALLY MONKEY! That is just LAME, a freakin R-A-L-L-Y M-O-N-K-E-Y! Oh yeah, and dont go there to watch and cheer for another team and speak any louder than a conversation voice, you will get kicked out. Ive never been kicked out because I know how they are but EVERY time Im there ( I usually go once or twice a year when they play the Twins with my buddies and cheer for the Twins), someone gets booted near me and they are never too rowdy!
Another reason is because you cant get in a baseball discussion with an Angels fan. At least a Post-2000's fan. All they know is the Angels, and they barely know that. Its like getting into a discussion with a little kid. For example, they try to say they are better than the Dodgers and the Dodgers suck and blah blah blah..."We won the World Series recently, when's the last time you did?" Well congrats Angels, you won your first World Series. We actually have won 6 World Series and 21 NL Pennants.
So there's just a few reason why the hate for the Angels
