Yankee lawsuit filer 'originally from New Hampshire'

Today of course is news of alleged political and religious oppression

• involving the Yankees, a former New Hampshire resident attending a game the Red Sox were winning, and the New York Civil Liberties Union.

The NYCLU filed a lawsuit against the Yankees and others for political and religious discrimination that allegedly took place August 26, 2008 at Yankee Stadium.

• A patron, 'originally from New Hampshire' with the Red Sox winning 7-3, decided to leave his seat at the 7th inning stretch (after spewing epithets).

Seeking publicity and financial opportunity, the NYCLU filed suit on behalf of the patron saying the police told him he couldn't leave his seat during the singing of God Bless America. As good an excuse as any to seek fame and fortune while advancing a cultural sickness.
