Bigger Villain of New York- Altuve or Young?

 

          As a Knicks and Yankees fan, I along with others have been traumatized by these two players shown here. For one, Jose Altuve cheated the Yankees out of 2 World Series appearances because of the stealing signs scandal. And Trae Young quickly became a villain when he not only knocked the Knicks out of the playoffs, but has taunted them ever since. So I thought, who is a bigger villain to New York between these two?

          Altuve is not only a villain to NY, but also many other major league teams as well. His team, the Astros, and him and his teammates especially cheated many teams such as the Dodgers, Yanks, Red Sox, and many more teams out of a potential championship. So many other sports fans share the same hate for Altuve that we do as Yankee fans as well. 

          For Trae Young, after one game in the playoffs last year he was portrayed as the villain, but not for cheating, just by playing great basketball and the Knicks had no answer for him. He didn’t have to cheat his way through the Knicks or the 76ers in the next round.

          Another difference between Young and Altuve is that Trae Young interacted more with the fans than Altuve ever did. He would showboat and celebrate in front of Knick fans and I along with other Knicks fans did not take that situation very well. 

          All in all in my opinion, the bigger villain of NY is definitely Jose Altuve. Altuve along with his teammates cheated in order to win crucial games that could’ve sent the Yanks to a potential World Series. Personally that is where I draw the line, if you cheat in a professional sport to gain an advantage especially in the playoffs.

          Sure Trae Young certainly still is a huge villain to the state of New York, but when you cheat at a game to gain an advantage, that makes you a bigger villain. Many Yankees were robbed of a potential championship that they will never get an opportunity to play for again because they are not with the team anymore or they are retired.
