The Irish tenor Ronan Tynan, a fixture at Yankee Stadium for years with his stirring rendition of “God Bless America,”...was disinvited by the Yankees after he admitted making an anti-Semitic remark at his Manhattan apartment building a day earlier.
...“He acknowledged that he used the slur and the Yankees stepped right in,” Rubenstein said Friday night.
...Rubenstein said the incident occurred when a real estate agent was showing an apartment in Tynan’s building to Gold-Von Simson and jokingly said to Tynan, “Don’t worry, they’re not Red Sox fans.”
Tynan reportedly replied, “I don’t care about that, as long as they are not Jewish.”
Gee, what's so bad about being Jewish?
