Toronto Blue Jays. As one might expect from one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states in America, the display was not greeted warmly by fans.

Duh! When did Toronto join the USA?

DOH, they are talking about NYC, in New York state, not Toronto. Which becomes more evident when the entire paragraph

The men displayed the sign on the second deck of the stadium, first base side, during the second game of a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. As one might expect from one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states in America, the display was not greeted warmly by fans.

“ the display was not greeted warmly by fans.”

Don’t be so sure. To begin with, the fans displayed the banner. Not everyone in New York votes democrat. Look at the blue red map. And it was not the fans who handcuffed this guy. It was team ownership/security

So...

“Duh! When did Toronto join the USA?”

Read the headline.

Read the first sentence.

Hold it Gramps. It was in Yankee stadium against the Blue Jays. But still a commie state with commie loser teams. Screw MLB!
