“Yankee management is free to promote its brand of musical patriotism,” Arthur Eisenberg, the legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said in a written statement. “But we need to be wary of enforced cultural conformity and the use of a ballgame to impose political correctness on a captive audience.”

I am sorry, I just find this really amusing...

A spokesman for Yankee Stadium is referring inquiries to the NYPD and calling it "a police matter." A statement from the NYPD reads, "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."

Campeau-Laurion says that he only had two beers during the game, which he attended with a Yankees season ticket holder who says the police are – make sure you're sitting down – lying! He tells CBS 2: "That's ridiculous. That's completely false." But until some videotape surfaces, it's their word against the NYPD.

Wouldn't the fans sitting around him beat the crap out of him if he started cursing during the G.B.A. while standing on his seat? Hell I am a Red Sox fan and I wouldn't tolerate that. The NYPD is digging themselves into a pretty big hole here. I wouldn't be surprised if no tape shows up from the Yankees.

I am not sure if this happens at other places but apparently there is a bag policy too, got this from an IM from a coworker (cubs fan, not that it matters):

worst of all though is the bag policy. women can walk in with any size handbag they want, but if you're a guy and try to bring in a briefcase, you're turned away, forced to pay $10 to check it across the street. I actually tried going in with a small canvas messenger bag and was told no, i can't enter. I said, "please feel free to search it. I'll empty all the contents out into one of those clear plastic bags. "

"no, sorry, doesn't matter."

"but if i were a woman with a purse this size, i could bring it in"

"yes"

"and if i were to just hand this bag to a woman and she were to try to bring it in, you would allow that, correct?"

"yes"

"how is that fair?"

"I don't know , that's just the rules".
