L.A. Dodgers win the World Series: Thus Begins the Curse of the Jabronis

Jabroni Jeffrey Maier* (Austin Capobianco) 
grew up to be a jerk 
and brought his
Jabroni jerk-ass friend (
John Peter) 
to the 2024 World Series too*

Unsurprisingly the families of these two asses
blamed Mookie Betts
for calling out their
inappropriate, hazardous, and borderline
criminal antics.

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Evil Empire State Yankees in 5 games to win the 2024 World Series Championship.  Hopefully, after the two jerk-ass jabroni Yankees fans conducted themselves like all Yankees fans everywhere in Game 4 we can see the Yankees be afflicted with the Curse of the Jabronis.

I suppose this was the best outcome of a bad situation.  I hate both franchises because they represent everything wrong with the modern game.  Money is Everything.  

And don't let anyone tell you differently.  Both the Dodgers and Yankees sign away baseball's best players to massive contracts, thus undercutting the whole concept of the sporting ensuring other teams don't really have a chance to win.

No small market team or teams which draft, develop, mold, and build a stable of great players slowly has a chance to win anymore.  Those players get purloined by the big market teams which then amass a stable of other teams players and thus continue to win the Titles.

Baseball doesn't want to address this of course, because it's way better if the Yankees and Dodgers are in the Playoffs and way better to have the big fan base teams drawing viewership to various platforms so that MLB can continue to extract Billions (Yes that's Billions) from TV, streaming, and other media platforms.
ESPN, Fox and TNT are paying a combined $12 billion over seven years, ending in 2028. Apple has a separate seven-year deal, running through 2029 and worth a total of $595 million. Roku’s newly inaugurated Sunday afternoon games are worth $10 million per season to MLB.

Fox has the World Series rights until the end of this deal, and has seen 3 of the lowest viewership numbers in Baseball history since the Covid 2020 season.  So, having Shohei Ohtani in LA and thus making having the Japanese audience highly interested is unsurprising.
King of the Jabronis
Better than Willie McCovey

But, as the Dodgers celebrate their championship, the first without the presence of legendary broadcaster Vin Scully, let us remember the last time the Dodgers won the Series in 2020, treasonous King of the Weirdos and peerless Jabroni Trump was defeated in the Presidential Election.  

While, history doesn't repeat it does rhyme and Two-Time Loser Trump works in 2024.

*- Jeffrey Maier interfered in Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS, and his actions won the game for the Yankees, who went on to defeat the Baltimore Orioles and then the Atlanta Braves in the World Series.
