They have collected all the things that New York fans need to know, a code of conduct to live a civilized sports life. Some of the most vital rules include, among many others, only one team per sport; attend at least one game each season; never do the wave, Macarena, or chicken dance; don’t sell tickets to rival fans; and don’t blame losses on the officials. Rules for New York Sports Fans Original Edition is a hilarious look at a singular sports town that’s sure to inform and amuse. The result is an entertaining, informative, and amusing guidebook for the diehard—no matter what your combination of Jets, Giants, Mets, Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Islanders, Devils, and Rangers.
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Rules for NY Sports Fans by Joe Benigno and Jordan Ranaan have collected all the rules New York fans need to follow so that we can all live a civilized life here. If you’re a sports fan in New York, then you already know about Benigno – he hosts the midday show (Benigno and Roberts) on WFAN every day and he’s been on WFAN since the early 1990s. He knows what’s what and who’s who on both sides of the Hudson. Working at ‘The Fan’ for more than 15 years, Benigno has culled down the list of behaviors that are acceptable (booing an old lady in a Patriots jersey) and those that aren’t (lending a nickel to a Red Sox fan anytime, anywhere, for any reason).
