Recently, a baseball fan sued the New York Yankees after alleging that he was ejected from the stadium by police after he left his seat during the seventh-inning-stretch.

Bradford Campeau-Laurion says his rights were violated when he tried to pass a police officer to use the restroom during the singing of "God Bless America," a seventh-inning-stretch tradition at Yankee Stadium since September 11, 2001. Campeau-Laurion said he is proud to be an American but objects to being required to participate in displays of patriotism.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages against the Yankees and the city, whose police officers were paid by the Yankees to work the game. Police spokesman Paul J. Browne said the officers ejected Campeau-Laurion after they "observed a male cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol."

The Yankees had no comment.
