All “them” that can’t stand anymore because they don’t have legs and can’t throw a baseball anymore because they don’t have arms and many who can’t do anything anymore because they are dead. They are Americans and Iraqis and Afghans. They are from neighborhoods like the South Bronx and they gave everything. This country gives them nothing. Outdated equipment that isn’t safe to drive on a US highway and hospitals that are rat-infested dumps. Standing for that is a disgrace.Todd Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780724600781551020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750277659132824051.post-82215884000523167122007-05-11T21:11:00.000-04:002007-05-11T21:11:00.000-04:00Hasn't the almighty Met's dollar given cause for D...Hasn't the almighty Met's dollar given cause for Delgado to now stand during the song? I bet that if you were given enough money you would chuck your protest out the window.

Unlike public school students, Yankee fans aren't required by law to attend games. But it's absolutely outrageous that fans might be required to sit or stand in their seats out of respect for someone else's political views. I have no problem with the song, though I share your view of the war. But if anyone ever tried to chain me in my seat, I'd raise hell. I hope others will, too.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754910636929115444noreply@blogger.com
