He may be a Yankee fan, but he's a Yankee fan that doesn't even know how to spell A-Rod's last name. It's Rodriguez.

Sorry, I just think as a sports fan you are obligated to know how to correctly spell the name of the highest paid player on your favorite sports teams. If that somehow makes me an English professor, I apologize. My intent was not to teach but rather to question your fanhood.

If that somehow makes me an English professor, I apologize. My intent was not to teach but rather to question your fanhood. I got one word for you; "TYPO". Just because someone doesnt spell a name correctly doesnt make them a bad fan. Just think of the poor fans of Manu Tsuiososopo. Or even Ben Roethlisberger. Anyone can spell Roger Clements. S-T-E-R-O-I-D-S. See, That was easy. |

to a point anyway... but spelling matters in some cases, as does grammar. If you doctor said, "Now there, is your head hurtin' or is you spinning around?" you would leave. But if my wrestling coach said that, I would be fine with it. Just depends I guess

I fI were taking my MSAT's, LSAT's or an English exam I would be concerned with spelling and grammar. This is a message board where people use ttyl, imo, lol and stfu. It annoys me when people decide to use grammar and spelling as an indictment on a person knowledge of sports or commitment as a fan. That is usually done by posters who have lost their argument to facts and statistics and decide to defame a persons character and intellect. Its cheap and a cop out. Again, lighten up Francis.  PS - you didnt bother to bash TheHero when he spelled Mitchel(l) wrong thus losing consistancy points |

My mistake, I assumed you thought that was how it is spelled. I would have said the same thing to a Patriots fan who typed Tom Braidie. I honestly couldn't care less about people's grammar or spelling on here or on any message board. And yes TurfBurn, I was losing the argument so I instead chose to defame the character and intellect of MM1?
