It is hard to find a more intense sports rivalry than between the New York Yankees fans and the Boston Red Sox supporters. But the New York Mets are also in the equation as they share beef with Red Sox fans as well. However, in the latest move, the Mets and the BoSox fans put aside their feud to take on the struggling Yankees.

Currently, the Bronx Bombers have fallen from grace and are in a tight spot. Furthermore, the postseason is seemingly out of reach. Recent results have been disappointing, to say the least, and their rival supporters saw an opportunity to pounce.

The Yankees share an iconic rivalry with the Red Sox. But the Mets are also a part of the New York-Boston feud. In the latest game between the Mets and the BoSox, fans of both teams mocked the Bombers. They yelled “Yankees Suck” during a game against each other at Fenway Park. This was a strategic partnership between the two fan bases to put down a common foe. Jack Warner, a college student covering New York sports, shared a video of the incident on Twitter.

In a tweet, Warner said, “Would it be a matchup between the Red Sox and the Mets without a “Yankees suck!” chant? Of course not. This has slowly become a tradition when these two fanbases cross paths with one another.” As Warner astutely mentions, this has become a new tradition between the two fanbases as they come together to mock the Bombers.
