Is Carlos Delgado Unpatriotic?
In my mind, Carlos Delgado's refusal to stand, or heck, even be present during the singing of God Bless America, isn't an issue of whether or not Delgado is patriotic. Free speech is free speech, and he has the right to his opinion. But we also have the right, like Yankees fans last night, to give him all the all the crap we want. Free speech is free speech, and Yankees fans have the right to their opinion. Just 'cause someone exercises their rights to free speech doesn't make them patriotic, take Noam Chomskey for example.

Say what you will about BobW, he's no quitter, and he's no cynic!

Yeah, but I'll still boo him, and boo the yankees!

yeah, i mean he has the right to do it, but id boo the crap out of him and then id tell him we dont really care what his opinion on the war to iraq is, followed by asking him what he means by leaving during "God Bless America." does he mean "God Don't Bless America"? Then I'd tell him to go to France.
