A man gets ejected from Yankee Stadium for leaving his seat during "God Bless America"?

Question

Isn't that harsh?, what if He's not even a U.S. Citizen?

Answer 1

yea, they should lighten up, talk about anal retentive...

Answer 2

Whoa.......wait a minute.  Bring this questions to Obama and get that baseball fan a refund!  Obama is not required to honor the flag of the country that he wants to lead, but this fan gets ejected???  

Answer 3

I was pissed when I read that. d**n Fascist pigs had no right to do that. They broke that poor guys constitutional right, because like many of us is not patriotic. America is in danger of becoming a fascist state (much like Germany was during WW2) The signs are plainly evident, and with the economy spiraling deeper into recession, things will only get worse.

Answer 4

I thought they had freedom of expression in the US. It's not like he walked out on the national anthem.

Answer 5

Maybe Rev Wright was there and he was up set when the found out the guy was saying G-d Bless America than G-d d**n America.

Answer 6

That's a bunch of bologna, oops maybe that's what he got up for, you know those stadium hot dogs are super good.

That's not just harsh, it's utterly stupid. That's the best time to go, the lines arent that long.  I tell ya some of these do-gooder religious types, make me want to slap em.

Answer 7

Patriotic Correctness is becoming as much of a tool for bullying as Political Correctness. How about if we all just lighten up?

Answer 8

Even if he is American on what grounds could he legitimately be thrown out? None!!

He should get his full money back plus an apology and free tickets.

The person who threw him out should be sacked!!

And they say America is a free country!!!

Answer 9

Obama and erroneous false pledge claims?  Is Reverend Wright your best possible response?  Those rebuttals and alike are proof positive that there is no shortage of ignorance and stupidity in great country of ours!  Your fear is very unbecoming.

As for this situation, it is outrageous.  Hopefully these were just some rogue cops but it would not surprise me if this was part of some larger, under the radar policy.  Unfortunately, this type of stuff and worse happens every day in many places; it is just not reported.

Those who attempt and succeed in abrogating the rights of individuals (from the Commander in Chief to the normal civilian) personify the term unpatriotic.  Patriotism is not measured by how many flag lapel pins you wear, whether you have your hand on your chest during the Anthem, or how much you proclaim to be patriotic and love your country.  A TRUE PATRIOT is measured by how you treat your fellow American, and how steadfast you are in support and practice of America's ideals; namely The Constitution.
