Man thrown out of Yankee Stadium for lack of patriotism?

[Warren85Ellard]

I'm baffled. This guy was just going to the bathroom during "God Bless America"? I'd imagine hundreds, maybe thousands of others were out of their seats, buying beer, using the bathroom, etc.. during that time as well.... Did the news story leave something out? Was he being rowdy, verbally abusive or doing something that would have gotten anyone thrown out of a stadium or arena, whether the song was playing or not? ... If a large percentage of our citizens don't care or are too afraid to object to a person being thrown out of a stadium, just for using the bathroom during "God Bless America", then this is just another example of how far 9/11 has really set us back.
