Mayor! Where my free housing at?

Donning a pinstripe home white jersey and blue Mets cap over dress pants, de Blasio was loudly booed twice by Flushing faithful — once as he was announced and then again as he left the Citi Field diamond....
De Blasio wore No. 6 in honor of late-1960s Boston Red Sox great Rico Petrocelli, the mayor’s aides said.
The infielder, who slugged 210 home runs in his 13-season career, grew up in Brooklyn. So the Boston-loving mayor managed to pay homage to his beloved Red Sox, his adopted home borough and to Italian Americans by donning that shirt.
But that still didn’t get de Blasio off the hook for his war on charter schools....
De Blasio left during the seventh-inning stretch, moments after the Nats had scored twice to tie the score, 4-4.
New York would take the lead in the eighth inning before coughing it up in the ninth and losing it in the 10th.
“It shows he has no heart. It’s upsetting [the mayor leaving so early],” said 33-year-old Whitestone resident Matthew Lipsky, a FedEx operations manager who was among the few fans to tough it out through 10 innings.
“He’s supposed to be a leader. What does that show?”...

But am I reading this right - de Blasio is a Red Sox fan?
In a NYC politician, isn't that grounds for lynching?!
Mayor! Where my free housing at?
I thought the same thing. This guy is the mayor of New York, and he’s professed Boston fan? Are you fricking kidding me? Did they know this during the election.
Hey, New York deserves this @ss hat same as California can have Gov. MoonBeam.
The infielder, who slugged 210 home runs in his 13-season career, grew up in Brooklyn. So the Boston-loving mayor managed to pay homage to his beloved Red Sox, his adopted home borough and to Italian Americans by donning that shirt.
He's an assholes asshole.
De Blasio is his adopted name...
Boo? You voted for him NYC Mets fans. (Yankees fans probably didn’t )
You got that backwards.
Met’s fans are from Queens and Long Island, and they hate the Yankees and big mouth communist scumbags like this guy.
In what The Wall Street Journal called an “Exclusive Poll” conducted in 2010, the newspaper compared the differences between Mets fans and Yankees fans.[52] The poll found:
Mets fans follow their team more closely:
Mets fans are more invested in their team. “Not only do they monitor their team’s progress more often and make more bets, they listen to substantially more sports radio (35% to 25%).”
Mets fans drink more:
Male Mets fans were 48% more likely than Yankees fans to drink beer:
They also drink more in general: the percentage of male Yankees fans who said they don’t drink was almost double that of their Mets counterparts (30% to 16%).
Yankees fans are wealthier:
The poll found Yankees fans had a greater average income than Mets fans.
While Yankees fans were more likely to fall into the upper and lower brackets, Mets fans were more likely to be Middle Class.
Mets fans are more likely to own pets.
Mets fans are more likely to be married.
-Wiki
Mets fans are generally dewy eyed liberals. Yanks and their fans are die hard capitalists. If the boss were alive he would tell you.
Yankees fans are retards from the Bronx and homos
Most NYers didn’t vote because there was nobody to vote for
When a self-admitted communist gets elected with 75% of the vote, it says more about the stupidity of the voters than the mayor.
most of the south Bronx idjits are Mets fans.
die hard Yankee fans moved out of the Bronx a long time ago.
“... So the Boston-loving mayor managed to pay homage to his beloved Red Sox...”
Maybe we can overlook the fact that DeBlasio is a communist-sympathizing Sandanista who loves the Teacher’s Union more than inner city kids in Harlem.
But how in God’s name could New Yorkers elect a Red Sox fan?
