In Defense of Domination:
The author is Joel Stein, he is professional Comedy writer.
His intentions is to be funny towards Yankees haters and to defend his case by the Yankees being a better team.
No not really, because he uses bullying to show how good the Yankees are instead of just pulling off stats. He does this because being at the top creates many haters and he tries to crush lower teams hope.
Hes responding to the event that had A-Rod go to the Yankees and to the fact that people are very upset that a team that is always winning picks up a very good player.
The intended readers are the losers, any team that doesn’t usually win or to the fans oF A-Rods previous team.
Both readers and writer believe that the Yankees are a better team, and both agree that anyone on top usually gets hate from the bottom side.
Yes he does, he compares the event to America being on top and how it diminishes foreign countries leaders. Also speaks on how Americas history is just as successful as the Yankees.
Yes he does, his argument isn’t wrong, it’s just the way he expressed his argument, also being posted on Time magazine a news magazine. He starts with his opinion then uses examples and evidence to prove his point.
Yes he does, but he tries to reason the people that the Yankees are good but it doesn’t mean that they have to like them.
YES, he bullies through to piss of the readers and expresses his emotions vastly.
