Yes but I too have a right to an opinion. Here's a Yankee fan's take on this guy.......

I think that guy(or whomever) had a right to go weather or not the song was playing..It's everyone's choice here in America to believe what they want..when they want. To be as patriotic as one chooses and to display it in the manner they choose to.

Some people choose to stand and sing, take off their hats etc.. some do not... I don't see them getting thrown out.

It's not like the guy burned a flag for Christ's sake!

i don't have a problem with you disagreeing about the guys behavior. advocating violence however is crossing the line. he didn't harm anyone. but you think he should be harmed. that's just whacky.

Fair enough I'll call it 'giving this douche an American spanking' then. Amazing how my friends, who practice corporal punishment, kid's are so much better behaved than the 'stand in the corner' or even worse 'time out' ones which, unfortunately includes my brother and hence my neices and nephews. This jackass is a child looking for attention.

No he's not...he wanted to leave his seat during a song other than OUR National Anthem. Because someone doesn't have to stand at attention to some song Kate Smith made famous doesn't make him or me un-American. I think it's more un-American to be critical of his freedoms than to do some stupid Freedom Fry thing and whine because he has the stones to stand up to some idiotic policy about a song that means nothing to this country or it's history.

What's next? This drivel after a trip to the mound? DON'T MOVE PEOPLE...IT'S LEE GREENWOOD!!
