Ha they've been singing that forever. I got season tickets in the bleachers one year. I attended two games, got in a

Fight with the loser bleacher creatures and needless to say sold my tickets for the rest of the year and sat somewhere else. Sad part is it was alcohol free seating.

Sorry, but you blew it with "I have proudly lived in New York City for over two years". I shut off after that.

This is why I watch soccer... and because it's awesome! - Go Redbulls!

Wow, you haven't been a soccer fan for long have you.

It depends whether he means "this is why I watch soccer [to avoid the homophobic abuse]" or "this is why I watch soccer [because I enjoy the homophobic abuse]".

napalm,

In all your talk of what's natural versus not and sex being a mean's of recreation... you do realize that humans aren't like most other animals in that we have sex merely for pleasure, as well as procreation? In fact, most animals only have sex when in heat and the female is ovulating which sometimes is as little as twice a year; depending on the species. Also, we tend to also not walk around nude and have sex in private. Thus, to say we only have sex for reproduction is asinine. Also, as others have pointed out... homosexuality is totally natural as it's a heritable trait and observed throughout nature, meaning there is evolutionary reason and use for it. For all we know, it may be a means of population control or extra care-giving or who know what else? If it is intended by "nature" as population control, it is a shame both your parents weren't gay and possibly disinterested in reproducing as they've clearly passed down genes for stupidity that will further contaminate the genome of H. sapiens sapiens. But as I said, most gene expression that still is around has a purpose. Perhaps yours is to make us all laugh.

Dont worry napalm will get his u know how many people are gay nurses? Hes the type u see in the nursing home slapping his ass with bed sores the size of a baseball, incapacitated by a stroke sue to his own life stupidity.... Trust me these people get theres alls fun and games when u can walk and talk shit. But another story when your laying in it from your own attitude..

K a r m a is s o real.

I witnessed a similar thing years ago at the old stadium. A fan was wearing the visiting team's hat and was taunted so mercilessly, it verged on physical violence.

Personally I'd rather my tax dollars went toward educating these buffoons, than building them a shiny new stadium.

Wearing opposing team gear is just asking for confrontation. If you want to enjoy the game as an opposing teams fan just wear plain clothes. Im sure alcohol had somethign to do with this case if it involved physcial violence. But if you wear a Red Sox shirt to Yankees stadium you really should be expecting to get heckled and yelled at. Same thing happens when I wear my Yankees stuff to Fenway park or any other stadium for that matter. Its the nature of sports fans. Im not condoning any type of physical violence but heckling is permissable.

Two years ago I went to a Yankees-Red Sox game at the stadium wearing my Manny Ramirez t-shirt and was sexually assaulted by some drunk fans. This doesn't surprise me and the poor Twins fan should feel lucky that somethnig more serious didn't happen. I will never go back there.

That sounds pretty harsh and shouldnt have happened. You could have told a security guard or police officer at the stadium. They assuredly would have removed you or the person harassing you from the situation. There is never a reason a person should touch you. There is no excuse for anyone doing what you explained but, you should never wear a Manny Ramirez jersey to yankees stadium. Wearing anything Red Sox is just like putting a kick me sign on your back. Like I said, there is never any reason for anyone to touch you.

I expected a little harassment for wearing a Red Sox shirt. I would give dirty looks to people in Yankees gear when I lived in Boston. But, supporting the opposing team is never justification for assault, sexism and homophobia.

I got my revenge. I told him about the friends I had in the Bronx DAs office and what he could be charged with and he started to cry and continued crying for the last three innings of the game. Just threatening to prosecute him was enough. His bros were so ashamed and so afraid of getting in trouble they sat in their seats and barely watched the rest of the game.

When did everyone get so touchy feely about a little ribbing. Get over it. Theres a lot worse things that can be done to a person than singing a silly song, jokingly calling someone gay. Or does everyone just want every person, place and thing to be 100% politically correct? Doing stupid stuff like singing this version of YMCA are just a fun part of sitting in the crazy bleachers. Relax and dont let every little thing get under your skin.

If that song had been called "Black Man" instead of "Gay Man", there would have been rioting.

You're right. That's SO cute. Can we revert to making fun of blacks, Jews and Hispanics out in the open with NO consequence? Pretty please? It's just ribbing.

Watch any rap video and you will see they make fun of blacks every other word. Watch Jerry Seinfeld's standup and you will hear him make fun of Jews. Watch Carlos Mencia and you will hear him make fun of hispanics. All of these things are done out in the open with no consequence. Are you offended by all of these things too and think they should all come to an end?

I should have clarified. Can people from OPPOSING races make fun of others without consequence. For example, can I dress up in black face and run around with a watermelon? It's just ribbing. When a person mocks their own race, it's just self-depricating, not racist.

I disagree. Not everything is ment to be hateful. People joke about other peoples races, religions, etc. It should never get to a point of physical violence or serious threats. But a funny song or some jokes is completely harmless. There are plenty of comedians and joke songs that joke about things that arent the race of the person saying them. TV shows frequently use gay humor along with movies and music. If you are that insecure with yourself that a few jokes makes you cry harassment then its really you that has the problem. Why is everyone these days so easily offended? When did NYC just become a bunch of crybabys?

Carlos Mencia isn't hispanic.

1) Why would anyone be 'surprised' by this behavior at Yankee Stadium?

2) I guarantee you a few of those guys are themselves homosexual or bisexual.

3) Making fun of homosexuals is one of the great last bastions of hate our PC world hasn't eradicated.. Can't get away with publicly doing [in semi-polite society] to various racial, ethnic, and religious groups, but you sure can still mock and laugh at homosexuals.

And no,I'm not homosexual or bi, I'm heterosexual, and pretty conservative.
