Sorry, Dan , I was taught not to boo EVER as it is unsportsmanlike, and
to boo a nation's anthem is just worse than normal.

Maybe it does, but I don't think by condoning the incident you've helped
the perception of a N.Y. fan.  In fact you probably have strengthened the 
feeling you're trying to argue against.

Funny, you talk of "bigotted interpretations" and then turn right around and
make a bigotted remark.  If you are certain that *some* N.Y. fans can do
no wrong, then I would say you're the most prejudiced of all.

I sure wish I were "cultured". -:)
