As ridiculous as the press release sounds... the yankees now put up a chain rope to prevent people from leaving their seats during god bless america. All sorts of crazy.

@mattyhop: um no. There were no "chains" in the old Stadium and there aren't any in the new Stadium. Idiot.

@Grandma Death: @Mymoustache: have any of you actually BEEN to a game, or do you get all yr information on what actually happens at local events from the times? because she's right -- they might have these chains but i've never seen this enforced.

I farted during the Star Spangled Banner once. I feel safe in admitting it now because the statute of limitations has expired.

I'm not saying the cops aren't guilty but the press release makes this Bradford guy sound like he was spending the afternoon at a polo match.

"Campeau-Laurion quietly watched the game, ate a bag of peanuts and drank two beers."

Here's the NYPD's version of the event:

"The officers observed a male standing on his seat, cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol, and decided to eject him rather than subject others to his offensive behavior."

@mouthjob with hand: In the history of the world, anyone who gets into trouble while drinking claims to be doing "nothing" and just drank "two beers."

Two beers is the universal code for "I was fucking drunk out of my mind."

Sports try to appropriate patriotic fervor for profit, and the military tries to appropriate sports enthusiasm for the same. Fuck them both.

Opening Day at the Stadium usually includes a fly-over by jets, for some stupid tax-money wasting reason. Personally, I stay seated during God Bless America, specifically because they say they are playing it 'for our men and women serving around the globe,' i.e., the forces of Empire.

@formerly it takes a lot to laugh: everyone in your 8th grade class must think you are super cool.
