You'll recall that the city recently agreed to pay $22,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by the NYCLU on behalf of a man who says cops ejected him from Yankee Stadium last summer when he tried to use the bathroom during "God Bless America" in the seventh inning stretch. And the Yankees, as part of the settlement, affirmed that there was no policy restricting fans’ movements. So the Times checked in on Friday night's Yankee game and found that although most fans stayed in their seats during the song, one Rich Popaduke defiantly proceeded to the men's room, declaring, "Freedom is what makes us American!" Why do sports fans with full bladders hate America? A security guard, Nicole Farrell from East New York, opined, "Everybody has free choice. You cannot interfere with that." But at least one fan is here to remind us the freedom to pee freely isn't free; Sue Coster, whose brother is a Gulf war veteran, vowed retribution against anyone exiting during God Bless America: "If they tried to do that in my aisle, I would have stuck out my leg."

you missed the point of this country. you are a shitty american. eat a dick.
word.
"Freedom is never pee"
"peein's just another word for freedom's left to lose"
AND...STFU if I don't take my hat off for God Bless America...it's not a mandate that I do. And if I choose to pee...so as to not have to sit thru Ronan Tinen's 37 minute rendition of GBA...then so pee it.
The fans of Yankee Stadium and their militant patriotism remind me of some patriots 70 years ago.
Whoa, quit blaming it on the fans, ass. If I had my way, GBA would no longer be sung at the Stadium, now that the whole fear and craziness after 9/11 has worn off.
I'll be 100% sure to run to the bathroom during that cloyingly awful song at every game. The national anthem I can get behind, but God Bless America? Blargh.
Sue Coster is a major bitch. If I catch her sticking her leg out, I'll take my newfound right to pee right to her head.
Thankfully I'm a Mets fan, where the crowd is slightly less nationalistic than blind-patriot Yankee fans.
"Thankfully I'm a Mets fan, where the crowd is slightly less nationalistic than blind-patriot Yankee fans."
You seriously believe that there is such a difference between two groups of baseball fans in the same city?
I hate it when Mets fans fall continually into stereotypes, in this case: "delusional."
of course they're delusional, they root for the mets (i kid, i kid - maybe, i dunno, go Phillies!)
I can just imagine our founding fathers arguing over if someone should or should not be allowed to take a piss when a song is being sung at a baseball game. George W. being a total pompous fucking loser with no sense of humor would probably just pass the question on to Martha. She being heavy with Alexander Hamilton's spawn would probably have said, "Oh George, just say NO."
"If they tried to do that in my aisle, I would have stuck out my leg."
Make her sing every verse of "Born in the USA".
If Sue Coster were to stick out her leg in front of me, I'd take a dramatic fall, sue and get a nice settlement out of Steinbrenner and his pals. Now THAT'S American. Either that or I'd stomp on her leg with enough force to give her a compound fracture of the fibula.
Who gives a #@%$? It's not the National Anthem—they should be frowning and causing a stink when people do not remove their hats... Some respect for crying out loud...
If Sue Coster ever tried to trip me walking down the steps to use the bathroom when I need to use the bathroom, I'd piss on her foot & salute.
God Bless America isn't the national anthem.
Anyway, it's not like the guy tried to go for a leak during a Michael Jackson tribute.
I'd rather pee on some idiot with a che guevara t-shirt. I doubt the ACLU would rush to my defense if I did for some odd reason.
Probably because the ACLU doesn't think there is a right to piss on other people.
Tough concept to grasp, I know..
I met a woman whose brother was a veteran of both Gulf Wars, Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, and the Indian wars. She said it's OK to pee anywhere, anytime.
