The New York Post: "We Make a Mountain out of a Molehill"

Alright, so amidst some terrible happening for the Yankees, some good things happen to my other teams, the Rangers and the Knicks. So I open up today's Post to read what is said about some of the things they did. Unfortunately, some of the space that could have gone to something meaningful, went to this:

The obscene phrase was plainly visible to thousands of fans - including plenty of kids - as she (Cynthia Rodriguez), her 2-year-old daughter, Natasha, and an older woman took their seats in the players' family section of the House that Ruth Built.

"[One] father, was so embarrassed, he got up and left and took his son," who appeared to be about 10 years old, a fan said.

"I mean this kid was right in back of Cynthia - his nose must have been about 4 inches away from the words 'F- - - you.' "

Cynthia's F-word faux pas also may have violated Yankee Stadium policy.

The team's policy prohibits any banners or signs that are not in "good taste" and also warns that security guards will eject any guests "using foul language" or "making obscene gestures."

Still, when some fans let nearby security know about Cynthia's four-letter garment yesterday, nothing was done.


Now, before you start to run out of your home to warn the neighbors of this upcoming Apocalypse, allow me to give my take. This is borderline hysterical in the fact that the New York Post does not consider itself a tabloid. It's a freaking rag of a periodical. Let's just say that I'd rather use it as some low quality toilet paper rather than read some of the bull they crop up in there. This is one of those times. What gets me is how this isn't even Alex Rodriguez: it's his wife. She isn't even famous, what does anything having to do with her newspaper worthy? Let alone something as trite as this. Is wearing that shirt bad taste and maybe she shouldn't have done it? Yes. But to whine and moan and actually make it so big of a deal that it is to be put in the paper is ludicrous. Next time I'll call into the Post next time some 75 year old man with his "FCUK THE SOX" T-Shirt is at Yankee Stadium. If he was A-Rod's grandfather, that same man would be staring right back at me the next day on the front page.

I agree completely. I saw a link to this Post story in Buster Olney's blog, read it, and immediately thought, "Of all the things they could talk about, they choose this?"

It's insane what they write about now.
