I was at the Subway Series game today at Shea, thanks to the kind auspices of Peter, Kathleen, and Caroline, who took ill and had to stay at home. Hence, Brandy and I got the tickets for Kathleen and Caroline.
In the stands, however, the crowds showed the true meaning and best case scenario of free speech.
First, some misguided souls would shout, “Let’s Go, Yan-kees!” Others would reply, “Yan-kees SUCK!” And on it would go, back and forth, each side shouting loud and clear and giving the other point of view equal time to rebut. No overlapping, all perfectly fair.
If only our political debates were so civilized.
UPDATE: Contrary to reports, Ariel and Peter were yelling “Yankees Suck!” to Keith, not me. I try not to be excessively rude to people that I owe stories to and that have proposals of mine in hand.
