It’s not suprising that one of those damn disrespectful Yankee fans was tossed by cops from Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night for trying to take a leak during “God Bless America”.

Brad Campeau-Lampion, 29, of Queens claims he was booted from Yankee Stadium for heading to the bathroom while “God Bless America” was playing on the public address system. Had he been a 79 year old man with overactive bladder syndrome it might have been considered more urgent and less disrespectful but a police spokesman said Campeau-Lampion was actually “standing on his seat cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disrespectful manner while reeking of alcohol.”

Could it be a Yankee fan using profanity, reeking of alcohol (before the game even had begun) and being generally belligerent in the stands? Evidently, Mr. Campeau-Lampion (possibly a French Canadian), claims the police story doesn’t hold water.

“The officer informed me that I had to wait until the song was over,” Campeau-Lampion, an information technology director from Astoria who roots for the Red Sox, told the Daily News Wednesday. “I said, ‘I don’t care about ‘God Bless America,’” he said. “Next thing I know he was pinning my arm behind my back.”

Campeau-Lampion said two officers then proceeded to escort him from the upper deck out of Yankee Stadium.

“I’ve never seen anyone handled like that unless they’ve thrown a punch,” Campeau-Lampion said. “It was a complete overreaction.”

During the melee withthe police, an unidentified bystander claims that Campeau-Lampion managed to hold his piece until he got out into the stadium parking lot where he finally relieved himself. Of course, the Yankees lost the game so it probably didn’t piss Campeau-Lampion off too much.
