In addition, the New York Yankees said Smith’s iconic 1939 version of the song, which had been a fixture at home games since the September 11, 2001, attacks, was no longer being played at Yankee Stadium.

Shun them.
All of them.
Starve them of business until they no longer HAVE a business.

Political Correctness is a cancer on our society.

The Flyers? We’re talking hockey here not basketball.I don’t think you are going to find the alleged targets of this made up offense either on the ice or in the stands. So under the law of racial physics, the owner must ask himself the question if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one who may be offended by the sound there to hear it, does it make a offensive sound?

Kate Smith is completely mainstream. Nothing racist about her. She is an icon of American popular culture, along with others such as Bert Parks. She appeared on Ed Sullivan and many other popular shows such as the Smothers Brothers. Other than God Bless America her most famous song was probably When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain.

The country is in the midst of a social and cultural breakdown. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

And don't just blame the SJW for this. Weak conservatives deserve blame as well. When we continue acquiescing to their current demands, their next demands become even more outrageous.

OK, let’s remove all references to Robert Byrd, who was once in the KKK.

Let’s remove all JFK memorials, and remove his name from all that it is on (e.g. JFK International Airport), because he was a serial philanderer who cheated on his wife in the White House, and potentially contributed to the death of Marilyn Monroe - at least emotionally.

Let’s remove all references to Teddy Kennedy, for obvious and myriad reasons.

How about rappers that talk, not sing, about killing cops and whites and about bitches and hos?

Ban them?

Sure, if they’re going to remove a statue of limitations this I can totally understand. Remove the statute.

We totally don’t need a sculpture of limitations.

I was present in 1974 at the Spectrum when the Flyers had a key game in that Stanley Cup year. They played their lucky charm, the Kate Smith recording of God Bless America. For me, a historic moment. The Flyers won.

I am done with the Flyers.

Q: Why does Ralph Northam have a job?

Are sports teams going to refuse to play in or compete against any VA teams while Northam is still gov?

If not, WTH not?!

the team had discovered some of her songs contained racist lyrics and sentiments that were "incompatible" with the organization's values.

Kate Smith has been dead going on thirty-three years. One of the allegedly racist songs, "That's Why Darkies Were Born," (also recorded by Paul Robeson who, the last time I checked, was black) was recorded by her in 1931. What took them so long to find this out? You'd think that an organization that manages to make tons of money having a bunch of guys smack a rubber disk back and forth across a sheet of ice would be sharper than that.
