stupid t-shirt

I just saw a T-shirt for sale in South Station that incorporates most of the aspects of the Boston character that i dislike: tribalism, parochialism, church-centric metaphors, misogyny, resentment galore. It reads:

JOHNNY DAMON
LOOKS LIKE JESUS...
TALKS LIKE JUDAS...
THROWS LIKE MARY

For those kind readers who don't know who Johnny Damon is, he was a highly paid Red Sox member who defected to the hated New York Yankees. I really couldn't conceivably care less.
I also don't know what the big deal is -- every baseball player is a well-remunerated mercenary; it's not unique to Damon.

Oh trust me stupid it's very unique for Damon. Biggest rivalry in Baseball, and possibly in the sports of the world?? Damon trading over to the yankees was a HUGE deal. Take it from me.
