Attendance

On a random note, every game around this time, someone from the Yankees media relations department announces the attendance through an intercom system in the press box. Today, Bernie Williams made the announcement. It was pretty funny.

Why the fuck do they always announce the attendance at games?  Just like asking why I should give a fuck about how much money a movie is making, who gives a fuck?  I can understand if you wanna pat yourself on the back for a sellout, and simply announce "Today's game is a sellout, you fans are great" blah blah.  But they always say "Today's attendance was 43,178" or whatever, which doesn't mean shit to anybody.  And they even do it on tv - "hey, 42,917 people here have a better life than you, asshole."  Mostly, just once I'd like to hear a team announce "Today's attendance is 14.  Christ, you fuckers suck."
