“Yankees Shouldn’t Be Enforcing Patriotism at Park”
RE: NYCLU Suit Against NYPD Regarding Yankee Fan Who Needed to Relieve Himself
Tim Dahlberg writes near the end of his piece: “The bottom line is, we all love our country. A lot of us love baseball, too.” I think a better bottom line is from another paragraph in his piece published in the NY Times: “Paying good money to see a ballgame is one thing. Being forced to engage in an act of faux patriotism when you really, really, have to go, is quite another.”
Everybody say amen.
