Admiring other players is fine....but Jeter is a Yankee. Red Sox fans
have only a way to see them.....
When a Yankee does well you need to deny it.
When they appear to exhibit honorable traits you need to suggest they

When they are successful you need to imply that it was acheived in an
illegal or devious manner.
You know, just think of them as Republicans
