The name Gersh Kuntzman is probably not familiar to you because he is a very forgettable sports writer for the equally forgettable New York Daily Snooze.  He is the one who claimed that he got PTSD from firing an AR-15 once.  Now, he wants to ban a song from every baseball park in America.

The title of his article is:

Major League Baseball must permanently retire ‘God Bless America,’ a song that offends everyone

It’s time for God to stop blessing America during the seventh-inning stretch.

Welcome to the July 4 holiday weekend — when once again, baseball fans will be assaulted by the saccharine-sweet non-anthem “God Bless America” at stadia all over this great land.

But no matter which home team you root, root, root for, “God Bless America” should be sent permanently to the bench

The song still embodies great things about America, but also our worst things: self-righteousness, forced piety, earnest self-reverence, foam.

I’m certainly not alone. A poll conducted by Sheryl Kaskowitz for her 2013 book, “God Bless America: The Surprising History of an Iconic Song,” says it all:

“God Bless America” is as divisive as American politics: Kaskowitz’s research found that 83.8% of people who described themselves as “very liberal” dislike the song, while only 20.5% of people who called themselves “very conservative” have a problem with it.

And more than 88% of atheists dislike the song, Kaskowitz found. (Quick aside: We atheists also hate having “In God we Trust” on the currency and in the courtrooms of a country whose Constitution bars the “establishment of religion” — but that’s a fight for another day.)

83.8% of liberals say they hate the song and the other 16.2% lied.  And atheists don’t like a song called :God Bless America”?  Really?  I’m shocked.  He also says that foreigners have a problem with the song.

* Foreigners!: I once went to a Brooklyn Cyclones game with a British guy named James Silver, who smiled when “God Bless America” was being played. “It’s exactly what I expect from Americans,” he said. “The self-righteousness, the patriotism. It’s always nice to see my opinions confirmed.”

Now I know half of you are saying “f*^k” him but I know the other half say “Who cares”?  But what do you expect from a jerk who has flashbacks every time “God Bless America” plays and he relapses into PTSD.
