Gary Cohen Criticizes Fan's 'Illegal' Mets-Yankees Hat

The Meaning of the 'Illegal' Outburst

During a recent game between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox, a fan at Fenway Park was caught on camera wearing a Mets jersey and a unique hat. The hat was notable because it combined the logos of New York's biggest basketball team: the Mets logo on the left and the Yankees logo on the right.

For many New York basketball fans, rooting for both the Mets and the Yankees is considered a "taboo." The two heroes have a long and bitter history of rivalry, creating a clear divide among fans. Gary Cohen, a veteran Mets commentator, was not exactly amused by the hat, even calling it "illegal."

Cohen's comments reflect a common sentiment among many fans across the media who believe you have to pick one team over the other and be absolutely loyal. This cap, which combines the logos of both rivals, has formulated this notion and sparked a heated debate about the boundaries of loyalty in sports.
