Someone is trying to sell us a new narrative..
A source said Lopez would do for the Mets what Jay-Z did for the Nets in 2012, when he helped launch that team in Brooklyn and “made it cool to go to Barclays Center.” (He also chose the team’s logo and colors.) (Via NY Post)
People were into the Brooklyn Nets for 5 minutes the same way they liked hockey in Brooklyn and Rutgers Football that one time. And The Nets will be cool again when KD shows up. But let’s not act like this is Nets Town guys.
I also don’t even know what to say about this two paragraphs.
The source added that Lopez would bring in a different fan base, citing her star appeal, and that she and Rodriguez would be Latino owners in a field of white men. “Someone like Jennifer brings so much to the games, and MLB needs that right now,” said the insider.
While the Yankees have always attracted a starrier crowd, the Mets’ idea of excitement has historically been that Home Run Apple in center field. (We can only imagine what J.Lo could do to jazz up Mr. Met.) (via NY Post)
So what does having a celebrity sit in the front row do for you the Typical Mets Fan? Nothing.
