This article is in the latest MAD Magazine (Super Special #126), and I thought that it was worth sharing, even though it was meant for an American audience (It's funnier with the drawings, but work with me here).
THEIR TEAM......YOUR TEAM..........
"...As a MAD reader, you're going to react to the following article in one of two ways. You'll either think it's a piece of fluff written by someone who doesn't know the first thing about sports, or you'll think that it's a piece of insightful satire written by someone telling it like it its. How you react will probably depend on who'se side you're on. Here's a quick look at..........Their Team....Your Team.
1) THEIR TEAM........bought a Pennant.
YOUR TEAM........made savvy strategic moves in the free-agent market.
2)THEIR TEAM.......threw a Hail Mary pass and got lucky
YOUR TEAM......connected on a well-designed "4th and 30" play.
3) THEIR TEAM.......has out of control animals as fans.
YOUR TEAM........has die-hard enthusiastic supporters.
4)THIER TEAM........has a pitcher with a 1-15 record who "sucks".
YOUR TEAM.......has a pitcher with a 1-15 record who's due.
5) THEIR TEAM.....is a bunch of old geezers past their prime.
YOUR TEAM....is a group of seasoned veterans.
6)THEIR TEAM.....is a bunch of psycho freaks
YOUR TEAM....is comprised of loveable eccentrics and emotionally charged players
7)THEIR TEAM...has a maniac on the mound who's a headhunter.
YOUR TEAM...has a fearless pitcher who controls the inside corner of the plate
8)THIER TEAM..needs cheesy promotions just to get the people to fill some seats
YOUR TEAM...holds fan appreciation nights
9)THEIR TEAM...has a front line comprised of brainless, drooling goons
YOUR TEAM...has a front line that hits hard, like the game's supposed to be played.
10)THEIR TEAM....has an overpaid prima donna.
YOUR TEAM....has a superstar worth every penny.
11)THIER TEAM...is down 3-0 in the World Series (which is mildly ironic because it's only contested by baseball teams based in North America). Stick a fork in them, they're done.
YOUR TEAM...is down 3-0, but hey, it ain't over 'till it's over.
12)THEIR TEAM...choked big time
YOUR TEAM...had an off day/night
THEIR TEAM......YOUR TEAM..........
