Baseball returns to Washington, DC, on April 14--and it's already controversial, according to the DC Examiner. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) the District's non-voting Congress-person insists on adding a prominent sign in RFK stadium, where the Nationals will play, demanding voting rights for DC residents. I thought Democrats wanted to separate religion and politics. So why are they injecting politics into my religion?--baseball.
Also in today's Examiner, the Nats have been unable to persuade Metro (subway) to run trains after midnight on home night-game evenings. Metro officials claim to have a non-discriminatory policy requiring payment of $18,000 per hour, which the Nats refuse to pay. That could mean thousands of stranded fans, should a game go into extra innings. Defending the policy, Metro CEO Richard White argued baseball was different because unlike a Monday Night Football game, there's no way to know when a baseball game will go late.
Huh? Does Mr. White know which NFL games will go into overtime? If so, can he share his list---so I can bet the "over?"
