You know how Yankee Stadium sings “God Bless America” during the 7th inning of every game? Did you know that as a fan, you are not allowed any stadium movement of any kind? Apparently a 29-year-old man from Queens did not.

Bradford Campeau-Laurion decided that during the patriotic song he needed to go to the bathroom. He was quickly stopped by an NYPD police officer, and told he had to go back to his seat. “I then said to him, ‘I don’t care about God Bless America. I just need to use the bathroom. As soon as I said that, he immediately pinned my arm behind my back.”

Laurion was ejected from the stadium and told to “leave the country” if he didn’t like it. The NYPD have since issued the following statement about what happened…

“The officers observed a male standing on his seat, cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol, and decided to eject him rather than subject others to his offensive behavior.

A fellow Yankee Stadium season ticket holder who witnessed the event called the allegation “ridiculous. Completely false.”

Lorion is considering taking legal action.
