Mlb: So, Yankee Stadium Takes This No Moving During “God Bless America"-Thing Rather Seriously

Don’t get me wrong, I’m very patriotic; I love my country. This action, however, is more than a little over the top.

Remember a little more than a year ago when George Steinbrenner, inflated with patriotic fervor, imposed a laughable rule that instructed security officials to ban anyone from “excessive movement” during the 7th inning rendition of “God Bless America.” Granted, most New Yorkers seemingly abide by it, but sometimes the system must be tested by one man’s agnosticism and patriotic indifference. Oh, and he had to piss.

Meet Bradford Campeau-Laurion, a 29-year-old man from Astoria, Queens, and a director of web production for a “major website” who made the unfortunate decision to blatantly disregard “God Bless America” and hit the head. He was dealt with swiftly and aggressively by Steinbrenner’s Red, White, And Blue Muscle. I left a message with Yankees media relations for their comments on this, but it’s probably safe to assume that they’ll only react to this if Brad here makes a colossal stink over it.
