    Well he owns the place so more power to him. I have been to many business establishments that say they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. No different here that I can see.

    agree with outerspacehillbilly.

    the guy owns the stadium. he can kick everyone in the stands out and watch the game alone if he wants. however they may be entitled to the money for the tickets back.

    i'm gonna be the 'bad guy' here and go by their names... they probably thought the guy would immediately settle out of court rather than appear racist in the news.

    Totally different. scenario. Just because a song has God in it, now we all have to stand? :biggrin_25513:
    Here's the thing. 'God Bless America' is not the national anthem. You stand for the national anthem. I don't think I noticed anyone standing for 'God Bless America' until after 9/11. I always stand and sing the national anthem proudly when I hear it at a ball game. Not sure I would do the same with God Bless America.

    If those are the rules in that one stadium then he needs to have it printed on signs outside the stadium and put it on flyers that everyone receives upon entry.

    That said, other than a refund of their ticket money I see no reason for a large law suit. Minor league teams are notoriously poor anyway. It's not like they would get anything.

    Well I'm a bad girl cuz I agree that if he owns it he ask them to leave. And I will go as far as to say I wouldn't doubt the kids stretching the truth.
