Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for a fake tan

All you need for a fake tan is just a little bit of money. Then you walk around, and everyone tells you a "great" and "natural" it looks, even though it's February and there hasn't been any direct sunlight for four months.

Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Wal-Mart

You are cheering for a coporation that will stop at nothing to make itself more wealthy, yet try to make itself appealing to the masses. You are cheering for a monstrosity that will use whatever unfair advantages it can to plow through its competition. This entity will also try to make it look like it is good for the rest of the country as a whole, when all it does is contribute to and anti-competitive and destructive environment.
