Nice to see they still play it...Spent many a Saturday at the historic and stll neat Stadium in New Haven ...sitting end zone with friends watching what ever team Yale was playing..Believe it cost for a kid , general admission...a buck and nothing like a hotdog...said to be cooking from 1st game to last in those wooden refreshment sites outside the stadium...harmless fun for a teenager back in the day... I was wondering if those handful of students who stayed and thus arrested,,,seem police gave plenty of time to demonstrate and then leave peacefully..realize it will cost them in $ to face a Judge ...and too, might cost them for those who go on to say law school, government employment...security work...who knows what...better to have a clean record.....keep them from being admitted to bar with conviction...or have to go through hoops to get that conviction off their records..Just wondering ------------------------------------------- www.courant.com/sports/college/hc-sp-yale-harvard-protest-20191123-20191123-66nw5lmh7ffqxp2uigzu6c6744-story.html------------------------------------------- www.nhregister.com/news/article/Yale-Bowl-An-historic-landmark-and-glorious-13110695.php

Good old college sit-ins. We need more sit-ins whether it is at our colleges and universities or the general public.

Saw this link to an article on the side of the Hartford Courant's Harvard-Yale story. Despicable. ‘Muslims need to leave America’: Report details confrontation between Andover woman and Muslim woman wearing hijab at Manchester mallAn Andover woman told a Muslim woman and her daughters that their traditional head scarves were un-American and that they should “go back to your own country" during a confrontation at the Manchester mall this week, a police report released Thursday said. Police cited Kristen Hitchcock, 49, for creating a public disturbance, an infraction, after the incident Monday night at Macy’s department store in the Shoppes at Buckland Hills. Hitchcock, however, denied making any derogatory comments and said she felt victimized, police said. The women told Manchester police they asked Hitchcock why their hijabs bothered her. Hitchcock responded they were “taking over our country” and “Muslims need to leave America,” the report said.

Complete article here: ‘Muslims need to leave America’: Report details confrontation between Andover woman and Muslim woman wearing hijab at Manchester malI read that article...MS Hitchcock has some problems... SHE feels victimized? I bet her TV is tuned 24/7 to Fox...her radio searches out conservative talk like Rush..... I believe she got the courage to go after this mother and daughter in no small part by the feelings he has expressed of certain groups by the Donald. How can theb POTUS be wrong, right? As far as being victimized, how about the mother and daughter she attacked verbally in the Mall...? Hopefully the few thousand a attorney charges her for a defense and the fine and /or community, or both, the court issues will temper her fears, teach her to keep better control of herself in public. {Possible get her to tune to a different channel and look for some easy listening, soft rock, on the radio?}. ....

Nice that an anti-Muslim group has rented space at Mar-A-Lago for an event.
