METS STADIUM

Well, not really.  But Jesus, only the Mets:

As if the Mets didn’t have enough to worry about, they’re getting grief from a pro-Palestinian group because of a fundraiser taking place this weekend at Citi Field for the Hebron Fund, described by the Daily News as “a Brooklyn-based organization that funds radical Jewish settlers in the West Bank city.”

The group, Adalah-NY, says that the money will be used to support some 700 Jews squatting in the overwhelmingly Palestinian city, and they’ve asked the Mets to cancel the event, claiming that it contradicts the team’s commitment “to diversity and opposition to discrimination.” Adalah-NY’s website says that the event — slated to be held above the Jackie Robinson Rotunda — is “an insult to Robinson’s legacy.”

Apparently Adalah-NY isn’t familiar with the Mets’ practices of having designated nights for just about every single ethnicity you can think of.  In addition to Greek and Korean nights, the Mets at one point had Pakastani night.  Because we all know how much Pakastanis love baseball.

Anyway, nobody in New York is going to sympathize with a pro-Palestine group, so this little protest they’re planning is going to fall on deaf ears.  Besides, we all know that Omar Minaya doesn’t discriminate against anybody except the whites.  I’d love to antagonize these idiots who think that anybody is actually going to give a shit about their cause.  Maybe dress up as bearded Mr. Met while wearing a black hat, tallis, and sporting peyos.
