As an MLB team with a lot of history, the New York Yankees have some major celebrity fans. These include pop stars, actors, and even some top-level athletes. However, there is one NFL star who is finding it difficult to support the Yankees. Most recently, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen angered Yankees fans by betraying the team. Furthermore, he did so in order to support the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays and the Yankees are AL East rivals and are competing to qualify for the postseason. Although Allen is a star quarterback, Bronx Bombers supporters did not hold back in their criticism.

In the video, Allen said, “What’s up Blue Jays fans? Josh Allen with the Bills here. With quarterbacks here in Toronto taking some batting practice, Matt Barkley home run champion hit 5 out. Some deep shots, shoutout Matt. Um, excited to be here, ready to go see the Blue Jays win a game.”
Fans have shown negative reactions to Allen’s betrayal. Some fans said that the Bills are not a true New York team.
