So the Yankee's have dropped Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America". The reason was that in the early 1930's she sang some songs that are considered racist. Can't put up with that.
I wonder if they will now drop reference to all Yankee history up to the point Jackie Robinson entered MLB.
Unless they do that, they are Hippocrates of the first order.

They're Greek physicians?

The Yankees are cowards and this shit is pathetic.

And then of course the Flyers had to follow suit.

They snuck up behind Kate's statue and threw a black bag over her head. Raped her thoroughly.

Another reason to hate the Yankees.

Sorry, wrote it quickly and happened to spell the incorrect word correctly.

Oh come on, we know a bad autocorrect when we see it and we won't hold it against anyone :wink:

Kate Smith was a product of her time when that sort of racism was accepted. It is time to move on and stop apologizing for it or justifying it. It's a form of hate. We get what we deserve in life and Kate Smith saw that as legitimate. She also wasn't that great a singer.
