VIDEO: Yankees Fans Aim NSFW Chant at Astros Star Jose Altuve During ALCS Game 5
By Mark Powell
Yankee fans were in hot water after their Game 4 defeat due to some unseemly chants directed towards Astros pitcher Zack Greinke, in which they allegedly made fun of his anxiety issues. Of course, there's no room for that in the game, and the Yankee fans responsible were removed from the game. Now, we have another example which Houston supporters are sure to frown upon.
Yankees fans with a "Fu** Altuve" chant.

After all that went on with Greinke yesterday, this is such crap. Learn how to be a fan while respecting the players at the same time. Be better.#ALCS pic.twitter.com/3nRPa6I0gP
We wouldn't go as far as to call this classless, as we're sure every fanbase has had some ugly NSFW moments from time to time. Sure, it's not a great look, but this is playoff baseball. Yankee fans repeatedly booed their own player In Giancarlo Stanton for striking out in his first game back from injury. They have no limits.
Are they chanting “Good Luck Altuve”? Yankee fans getting soft

With the series headed back to Houston, Astros fans will get their chance to return the favor should they choose.
