Major League Baseball must permanently retire ‘God Bless America,’ a song that offends everyone

It’s time for God to stop blessing America during the seventh-inning stretch.

Welcome to the July 4 holiday weekend — when once again, baseball fans will be assaulted by the saccharine-sweet non-anthem “God Bless America” at stadia all over this great land.

But no matter which home team you root, root, root for, “God Bless America” should be sent permanently to the bench.

Offends NY Daily news = Offends Everyone = new Math

Kuntzman - No comment

[I want the USA back]

If it offends the daily snooze it must be good. Would they rather have them sing some ayrab neck/sawing dirty?

[DarthVader]

The wussy who could not shoot an AR-15 must be ignored on everything.

[longfellow]

Kuntzman- sounds facist to me.

[Lazamataz]

I’m starting to believe he’s a News Troll, just like that Linda Stasi chick.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They should play Rev. Wright on the big screens, “God damn, America!”

Fits better in Obamanation

[Lent]

How about Allah bless America? That would make him happy.

Kate Smith sang God Bless America and helped the Flyers win the Stanley Cup.

a song that offends everyone

Speaking for everyone/hiding behind the collective "we" is the most cowardly form of argument.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Nothing personal, but, with such a name, can’t believe the family didn’t change their name. Just saying.

[EinNYC]

Kuntzman is a disgrace to his ancestors. Libtard moron!

[Dr. Ursus]

How about the Muslim call to prayer with John Sterling doing the call?

[Mears]

I’m appalled that they can actually say “offends everyone”.

Documentation of that statement should be requested.

everyone?

Does he have a mouse in his pocket?

Or a gerbil?

[Disambiguator]

Isn’t this the guy who shot an AR-15 and “smelled destruction?”

I’ve often wondered what destruction smells like.

[BipolarBob]

I've been sawing on the infidel
all the live long day
I've been sawing on the infidel
because I saw him pray
Rise up to hear the adhan
at the minaret bay

Something like that? At baseball games?

[Fiji Hill]

He pulled out “God Bless America” and changed one lame line — “the gold fields up in Nome” — to an even lamer line — “oceans white with foam.”

It was actually "From the green fields of Virginia to the gold fields out in Nome." You can hear it in Kate Smith's original broadcast.

[right way right]

I believe that this twit author does not exist.

[glennaro]

For what this sad little mind produces, I think his last name is entirely appropriate.
