Do you think a ballpark should have the right to throw you out for not "being patriotic enough?"?

Asked by GeorgeGee (4930points) November 15th, 2010

On August 26, 2008, a fan at a Boston Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium, who had attempted to leave for the restroom during the playing of God Bless America was restrained and ejected by NYPD officers. On September 15, 2009, three high school teens filed a lawsuit against New Jersey’s minor league Newark Bears for being ejected from Eagles Riverfront Stadium over their refusal to stand during the playing of “God Bless America” on June 29, 2009. Before being ejected, they were asked to leave the stadium by Bears’ president and co-owner Thomas Cetnar. What do you think of “patriotism by force?”
