Land that I Love....


NEW YORK – A baseball fan who says he was ejected from Yankee Stadium by police after he left his seat to use the bathroom during the playing of "God Bless America" sued the New York Yankees and the city on Wednesday.
Bradford Campeau-Laurion says in his federal lawsuit his rights were violated at an Aug. 26 game between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox when he tried to pass a police officer.
The lawsuit said the officer did not let him take a step before grabbing his right arm and twisting it behind him. It said two officers marched him down several ramps to the stadium's exit, where he was pushed out as one officer told him to leave the country if he didn't like it.

Where to start.... 
The Redwings play the same song at the start of the seventh inning stretch. Demanding that men remove their hats......
I really don't mind that they play it... lots of people seem to enjoy it.. just wish they would not do the whole " take off your hat" thing.....IT IS NOT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.. I'll keep an eye on this story
