The Libertarians

Ummmm…it is just a really boring game

This from The Boston Globe:

A woman accused of running down a man in her car after a Red Sox-Yankees argument in a bar never hit her brakes as she accelerated toward the small group he was in, a prosecutor said Monday.

Leaving aside the tragic aspect of this event, I wonder if government needs to step in and regulate baseball rivalries. Given its intense nature, subject to unpredictable market forces and uninformed participants, the Red Sox-Yankees hate-fest might need the calming hand of a state bureaucrat to avoid future run-downs, bar fights and general emotional distress among fans.

I suggest imposing a tax on all other fan bases to subsidize anger management courses for Boston and New York baseball supporters (Mets not invited).
