I like it but they should’ve had a better plan for dealing with security.

Would you stop people from displaying a Biden banner in the property that you own?

“I do not believe the Yankees crowd was booing Trump. Nope”

They weren’t. It sounds like the two yahoo’s holding the camera were the only ones booing.

Doing something like this is about the only reason to go to a game these days

Should be done at every single game all season

Perhaps I would. But I wouldn’t have them assaulted and handcuffed and dragged out in that fashion.

The fact remains it is indistinguishable from what is seen in tyrannical regimes.

Lord knows baseball hasn’t been watchable for decades

They are probably going to be charged for violating Covid rules, including not wearing a mask and having a fair excelsior pass. Meanwhile BIPOC and Democrats who violate those rules are given a pass.

That’s coming.

However, you do have the right to control signs and banners that are placed on your property and to have people that violate your property rights arrested.

I would rather be right than consistent.

The application of rights and laws has become a one way street, and not in the favor of conservatives.

Who owns Yankee Stadium?

“Taxpayer funding for the new Yankees stadium consists of city and state government subsidies between $200 million and $450 million, $941 million in tax-exempt bonds from the New York City Industrial Development Agency, and, if the Yankees get their way, an additional $350 million in tax-exempt bonds.”

Private events get more complicated when there is corporate fascism involved.

It’s not a private setting. It is owned by the New York City Economic Development Corporation. A Non-Profit owned by the City of New York. It is run by a board appointed by the Mayor. This is an event in a public access area that is partially paid for with tax dollars.

It is no different than a public park that charges admission. Your right to free peach doesn’t end when you enter a public access environment.

“Lindsey Adler, reporter with The Athletic tweeted “Lots of booing here after some jabronis unfurled a ‘TRUMP WON’ banner off the second deck. (He didn’t).”

Almost every reference to the possibility the election was stolen from Trump includes that kind of disclaimer (“he didn’t”, “unfounded”, “baseless”, etc.) as if they’re desperately trying to convince themselves and others in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Being that everyone has equal access to Yankee Stadium, can an uninvited rugby team take the field at Yankee Stadium in the middle of a baseball game and start playing rugby with the Yankees and MLB having no right to remove them?
