Be Nice

It actually is amazing how many fans think they can do better than the professional GMs, coaches, players, and announcers.

I'm not particularly a fan of Kay, and I certainly habitually criticize all of the above compared to their peers and also compared to expectations. That's what fans do.

But think about Kay's job.

How is he going to become a play by play announcer for the Yankees if he isn't polite to the Yankee players and personnel?

If you work for the YES Network, you work for the Yankees. Cashman is a GM and SVP of Yankees, Inc. Cashman is one of the senior executives of a corporation whose net worth is over $7 billion.

He is going to expect a certain level of deference and decorum from his own employees.

Go ahead and publicly criticize your boss, Twitter Hero.

I'm quite sure Cashman's skin is thick enough to endure a lot of criticism. On occasion, Kay will mention a trade that "didn't work out." 

But do these lunatic fans really expect professional announcers to behave like Vic Dibitetto?
