Soccer?! Why not a proper sport like baseball?

I coached my sons in tee-ball/coach-pitch a few years ago… never again!

Oh, the good old days of tee-ball! Our younger son would spend his outfield time squatting down to examine interesting things in the dirt. When he wasn’t squatting, he was facing the wrong way, away from the batter.

You are in good company of people who put integrity over partisanship. In 2022, the 92Y also uninvited Alan Dershowitz from an event. He has defended many clients, from OJ Simpson to Jeffrey Epstein, but his biggest sin (besides being staunchly pro-Israel), was defending Donald Trump from impeachment charges.

Like you, his cultural assassination (ahem… I mean cancellation) inspired him to write a book about the experience. Which was quickly banned (along with all of his other books) from public libraries.

As you said, here we are, in 2026, and the 92Y has STILL not learned any lessons from its intolerable past.
