Oh, I'm well aware of the segment of RSN that is no different. Hell, isn't that what we were talking about, the undesirables?
And, BL, I don't think just wearing the laundry should warrant "lightning rod" treatment, and sometimes it does, unfortunately. In my experience, it wasn't just the laundry sparking any action. There are always others in Yankee gear who go unperturbed, but they aren't being obnoxious, like the chant starters usually are.
Personally, I think the chant is stupid and should never be used. No, I prefer wit. I was sitting near a group of guys all decked out and acting the fool, which started a chant. I didn't join in. Instead I merely quipped, "Hey, everyone thinks you are an ass for what you are wearing. Good job proving them right." Pretty quiet after that.
