a sports analogy for every occasion

[rone]

Israel's like the obnoxious Yankees fan who insisted on moving to Boston because he can trace his ancestry all the way back to Plymouth Rock, then attends every Red Sox game at Fenway Park drunk to the gills, where he loudly taunts the locals about the Babe Ruth trade, Bucky Dent, Bill Buckner, Aaron Boone, and the Yankees' 26 championships.

And, to extend the analogy, Arab infighting is very reminiscent of the way Boston fans and media venemously argue over what the team should be doing next. And in the end, the Yankees and the Red Sox get way more notoriety than they deserve.
