Gothamist: NYU Graduation + Yankee Stadium = Crazy Antics

Right back at you. I think i have been more than polite to you. I have asked you multiple times to further explain yourself and yet continue to resort to vulgar language. Sad really. But if you do feel like having a civil discussion I am more than willing to read what you have to say. Have a great day!

Nice mouth JP Lynch. Looks like someone has some anger issues. You did post an opinion and I disagreed with it and then you went completely off the deep end. And you have utterly failed to counter my argument that I don't need a daily reminder about the war in Iraq. You have let loose a string of expletives and keep calling me a coward. None of these niceties though is an argument for why I can't spend two minutes out of my day reading a story about the NYU graduation without you getting a lecture from you. Of course, there is the irony that you seem to spend an awful lot of time reading Gothamist. Shouldn't you be at a war protest? How dare you waste your time here! This place is only for cowards like me!

So because you used an acronym that's ok? No - it makes you more of a pussy. The only thing I've misenterpreted is how, yet again, all I want to do is post an opinion and a fuck-face like you tells me to lighten up and shut the fuck up.

Judging from your attitude in post #22 I could tell you had no interest in being civil. But note that I used an acronym whereas you tossed off two vulgarities in your reply. Bravery indeed. And you have entirely misinterpreted my comment and completely failed to make a comprehensible point here. Feel free to try again though.

And there it is - some asshole tellin' me via comment section to 'shut the fuck up'. Such bravery...

EastRiver - Ever been in combat? Have anyone close to you wounded in Iraq? Yes for me on both accounts. And, yeah, you and many others DO need a daily reminder about the war. There is nothing about war that one should 'lighten up' about. Are you actually implying that if I don't have you telling me there is a war going on that I will somehow forget about it? STFU.

Yikes, JP. Don't take a lighthearted story so personally. Life is still happening, despite the war.

I'm sure that the spokesman from NYU was just saying what he was told to but if anyone had done something like that at my graduation, it would have added a lot to a boring ass ceremony.

weak sauce... much better during rain delays when the drunkards run to center field and then attempt to slide on their stomachs all the way to home plate on the tarp all while avoiding the pitchers mound.. like a giant slip and slide!

NY media does it again. We're still at war (Gothamist itself never made any mention of the 5 year anniversatry of the start of it) and we have this bratty jackass on the front page. Great. Some of us can follow multiple stories at the same time. I don't need a daily reminder in print that there is a war going on. I am quite aware of it already. Lighten up.

His old man is pretty funny. They're probably one of them rich upper middle class hispanics.

@Tim Yeah. pretty déclassé, isn't it? We used to get Carnegie Hall, now we get an indoor track. School's seriously messed up, brah. I'm expecting my two degrees to come out on rolling papers.

Manhattan does it in their gym? Yeesh, even St. Peter's did it at the NJPAC.

10 guys should have stepped up to the plates and play a game. This stunt could be better. It is NOT illegal.

"My wife asked, 'Could that be William?' I said, 'No. That kid's an athlete." He added, "I've never been so proud of my boy."

I see a future in the entertainment business for this kid. Stunts like these don't only happen at NYU though. The front page coverage of this is lame.

isn't the stadium referred to as "the house that ruth built"?

I was told by an attendee that he was tackled really roughly. What's he going to do, sabotage the field and make the Yanks suck a little bit more?

So the Daily News couldn't find anything that was more newsworthy for their cover?

"My wife asked, 'Could that be William?' I said, 'No. That kid's an athlete." That's awesome. Lighten up people, un clinch a little.

Blah blah blah what a jackass etc., but that looks like fun for the participant, and probably gave what could have been a stiflingly boring commencement a little life. Too bad I can't have the same experience sunday--Manhattan College is only classy enough to have their commencement in the gymnasium :/
