Will this affect the NY Yankees?

THAT is a SUPERB question! One has to assume that the answer is yes.

“The change in law applies to anyone in New York City but is aimed at remedying the disparate treatment of black people;”

I’m calling BS. Where does that even happen? Certainly not in any white owned establishments. Whites have been hounded into submission by the color police. Could this possibly be related to Asian or Hispanic minority run businesses who will not tolerate the negro nonsense?

Of course, they mean the long dreadlocks that look like hair that hasn’t been washed in decades...poor employers!

So, somebody looking for a job on Wall Street can walk into an interview with a mohawk with green tips and they can’t discriminate against them? LOL

No change in law, just more regulation.

*************

Liberals love regulations. Its like an addiction to them. The more they get the more they want.

Sorry, if you have a man bun, you deserve whatever abuse is foisted upon you by the masses.

the targeting of people based on their hair or hairstyle,

or the God-given natural right of private property (and right of ownership) could be respected and let business owners decide who to hire and fire for their own businesses

Repunza (sp) is safe then. She can let down her hair for her BF to climb up and save her.
Of course the real story when she let down her hair it was so greasy and flea infected he lit the hair on fire. The fire dept showed up and used their ladder to get her down.

She now wears a wig over her fire scared head.

My son will never forget his first baseball game. My father took him to see the Yankees and being a young kid at the time, my son was not so much into the game but concentrated on how much food he could eat during it. The only player he knew was Don Mattingly, who was at the time the face of the Yankees and one of the best players in baseball.

He remembers this game for three things: first, it was his first game ; second, they had to come home early because he got sick from all the food my father kept buying him; third, Mattingly was benched that game because his hair was too long and The Boss had ordered him benched until he got a haircut!

Man, if this applies to them, Oscar Gamble w/b proud!

The law no doubt will bring a flood of new investment and economic activity into NYC.

Suppose you’re at a play or the opera, where being able to see the action is important, and someone with an enormous Afro takes a seat right in front of you, completely blocking your view. (I’ve seen it happen, although not to me personally.)

If you voiced some objection to the management and asked them to do something to alleviate the situation, would you be subject to charges of inciting hair discrimination and thereby breaking the law?

Freedom of Conscience and Freedom of Expression.

That applies to not only what you think and believe but how you act on what you think and believe. That applies not just to your personal life but your associations. That applies not just to who your friends are but the businesses you own and operate and how you choose to run them - which no one is obligated by law to be a part of.

Yet now New York City law is going to say YOU do not have freedom of conscience and freedom of expression unless you are a selected class of people the city says has more right to their beliefs than you do yours. The city says in that case it, the law, can discriminate against you.

The gradual death of western civilization grows every day.

I go to plays and operas on a regular basis. I can assure you that I’ve never seen an afro in either venue - including black theater! Movies, yes.
