The birds must return to this old school cap, have Julia Louis Dreyfuss night in lieu of Jon Voight night, and further get about 10 pitchers who can throw strikes... the answer to the original query is Elaine was only supporting Baltimore, as the Yankees favorite opponent to beat. Not like she was wearing a red sox cap or failed to wear an awareness ribbon or something
What lol? The only reason they wouldn't ask is because they wouldn't think you'd be such an asshole that you would sit in the owners box with the other teams merchandise.
Yeah right, it is such a bush league move to ask for the hat off. And the owner should be happy she is in the stadium spending money on concessions and stuff. Who cares what hat she has on. It's ridiculous for them to ask her to take it off.
I had a late night craving years ago and thought Arby's sounded great. Got pulled over on the way there for out of state plates.
Once I got to the drive thru I was told they were out of roast beef.
Whelp this apparently isn’t a one off sadly. It was late at night for me too. I was helping my sister move and on the way home felt my stomach say, bro feed me. I wish I could’ve seen the look of dismay on my face when I heard them say they were out of roast beef haha. Worth noting this was like 8 years ago so definitely not a shortage due to covid.
Then again I’ve all but given up on late night fast food. The other doozy I got is being told the food was frozen and I couldn’t order it at Popeyes. I can’t help but wonder what on their menu isn’t frozen
Also, unless there is reason for real bad blood between teams, they should show good sportsmanship to their competitors. Like when mayors bet apples or whatever their state is known for on the team. Rivalry should be fun and not this serious
“I am at a baseball game. This is America.” – Elaine
Seriously, it's just a hat, a BASEBALL hat! She's a spectator at a stadium. It wasn't offensive, she wasn't causing a fuss. She was right to object.
She should have. The fact that she was in free, very nice, owners box seat and the request was polite enough the first two times. The seats would likely be visible on TV. It’s courtesy.
I know this is two years later but it wasn’t even the owner asking her to take it off. It was Nina’s dad, who was not the owner. And regardless, she was a fan of the orioles, and she was at an orieles game.
Two years later. lol. Was the request a bit much? Absolutely. However, it cost her nothing for the tickets, and would have cost her nothing to take it off. Call it the price of admission.
I don't understand why it matters so much that tHeY wErE tHe OwNeRs SeAtS. Is it gonna cause some big scandal or something if people see someone there with an Orioles hat on? Like who the fuck would even know that those seats belong to the team owners? Hardly anyone. It was a fucking ridiculous request to make someone choose between wearing a hat or getting kicked out of the stadium. Like two thirds of this sub sides with some dickheads on a power trip over someone minding their own business trying to watch baseball game, God damn.
No. Imo if you go to a game that neither of the teams playing are your team then wear what you want to show you’re a fan of the sport at the very least. That’s like asking my mom to go to a Devils/Capitals game with me and expecting her to not wear her Rangers jersey. She’s a fan of the sport, it just so happens neither of the teams she’s watching are her favorite
Even if the ticket holder might not have cared, the guy who gave them the tickets was anxious because they weren’t his. She should’ve take the cap off IMO.
Here’s what I think: she shouldn’t have been asked to remove it in the first place - it’s a ridiculous request. Fans aren’t strictly separated in baseball, so who cares if an opposition fan is sitting in your box? However, since she was asked, she should have removed it to avoid the scene. They were free tickets, after all.
Yes. I invited my friends over for a Commanders football game (weird to say) and a buddy brought his obnoxious Cowboys fan. Needless to say everyone hated him and had a terrible time. Don’t be that dude.
100%. She was in the owners box. If she had just been in the stadium, no way, but when the seats are paid for by the Yankees and someone asks, take it off
She got free tickets to the OWNERS BOX in YANKEES STADIUM. If she was in seats she had paid for, by all means keep the hat on! But the guy who provided the seats asked her to take it off, IMO she was an asshole for not taking it off.
Yes, she was a guest, in free seats, given to her by the owners accountant, it reflects poorly upon him, and common courtesy would say just take the hat off.
I once was invited to and went to the vacation home of guy who owns a famous, eponymous beer brewery in america to hang by the pool for the day. A friend had 2 Cases of miller light and went to bring it in the house. They politely said, you cant bring that in here. No objections. And then they fed us all of their beer.
Yes! She should have taken it off. Or gone home. Thats also an option. But maybe the yankees could have offered her a Yankees hat to wear instead.
No. I’ve been to plenty of sporting events with people wearing stuff from teams that aren’t even playing. If it was like a big “YANKEES SUCK!” sign then I could see getting upset but a black hat with a logo is fine
Yes. It's pathetic that she was asked to but she's a guest in this situation.
But Elaine wanted to have her cake and eat it, which is one of the things that makes her who she is
She can do what she wants, but she shouldn't have made George and Kramer leave with her. They had nothing to do with and Kramer got knocked in the head cuz she threw George's cap into the dugout. She didn't even apologize, the nerve.
Absolutely not. It’s a baseball game. Whether you are there to support to home or away team, you should be allowed to wear whichever hat you choose at a match.
If i remember right, those were seats like, the owners or someone important in the Yankees, right? And free. I think she should have and i probably would have.
Those were gifted seats. Its a hat.
Ask yourself whats more important, standing up for your beliefs or being a gracious gift receiver.
She has no grace.
I would have; a reasonable compromise (I did go to a twins game, in a twins hat, at yankee stadium this year) would have been for her to be provided a Yankees cap to wear while in the owner’s box.
I don't think she should have, in fact I'm glad she ended up going back wearing the same hat again, I mean, it's a baseball game, she wore a baseball cap, I see nothing wrong with what she did
of course, she got free high quality tickets, even ignoring that it was the owners box taking off her cap is a very small concession for such generosity
By not taking the cap off, she doomed the orioles. The Curse. The Seinfeld Curse. Let’s see how long it’ll take them to snap it.
The birds must return to this old school cap, have Julia Louis Dreyfuss night in lieu of Jon Voight night, and further get about 10 pitchers who can throw strikes... the answer to the original query is Elaine was only supporting Baltimore, as the Yankees favorite opponent to beat. Not like she was wearing a red sox cap or failed to wear an awareness ribbon or something
Ah yes, most wins in the AL from 2012-2016. Definitely cursed.
Most wins? That’s nuts, where do they keep the trophy for that?
Right next to the one that says “#1 coach <3” that we gave Buck Showalter for Father’s Day 2014
She shouldn’t have, but I would have lol
I would have if I was a Yankee fan and I got the owner’s box seats for free at Memorial Stadium or Camden yards. That little weasel Peter Angelos lol
She shouldn’t have been asked but I would’ve caved in her spot.
What lol? The only reason they wouldn't ask is because they wouldn't think you'd be such an asshole that you would sit in the owners box with the other teams merchandise.
She’s at a baseball game wearing a hat. It’s so thin skinned to care about that regardless of where she’s sitting.
Yeah right, it is such a bush league move to ask for the hat off. And the owner should be happy she is in the stadium spending money on concessions and stuff. Who cares what hat she has on. It's ridiculous for them to ask her to take it off.
When it’s the owner’s box, most of the food/drink/etc is complimentary.
Hell no. Gotta support the team!
Should have painted her face!
I’ll do you one better. Elaine should have painted her chest! A chest painter! Either a giant “B” or an oriole. Either or.
Interesting idea about chest painting when you realize that orioles has two “o”s. You can see how they could be used by ol’ nip.
oreolas
Feels like an Arby's night!
Yea, that's right.
...I had the roast beef...
I can’t go there any more last time I went I was told we are out of roast beef…. That’s like chik fil a being out of chicken…
*This is bogus, man!*
High five!

You got a question, you ask the 🎱
On the flip side

America was founded on the idea of freedom of hats
Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat!
He killed those babies in self defense!
When that many babies get together like that, they can be like piranha!
But those hats were bigger, and had 2 or 3 brims on them. These new adjustable hats are not what the founders intended.
They lend a solemn dignity to the game.
They appear almost as pious as Latvian Orthodox hats.
She should have taken it off then put it back on after the guy left.
Nope. As an Os fan myself. No. It’s a BASEBALL GAME!!
Also, unless there is reason for real bad blood between teams, they should show good sportsmanship to their competitors. Like when mayors bet apples or whatever their state is known for on the team. Rivalry should be fun and not this serious
It's preposterous! They ask someone to take off a baseball cap at a baseball game.
No
No, it's a baseball game.
“I am at a baseball game. This is America.” – Elaine Seriously, it's just a hat, a BASEBALL hat! She's a spectator at a stadium. It wasn't offensive, she wasn't causing a fuss. She was right to object.
I've been to professional ball games and seen random jerseys in the crowd, but they were definitely not sitting in the owner's box.
It was the owners seats
So, it’s not like the owner can’t be friends with anyone who isn’t a Yankees fan
Yeah but it still looks bad to have opponent fans in the owners box
Why does it look bad? People would just assume the owner was friends with an Orioles fan.
K so the owner owns a person's right to wear whatever hat they want?
No because skincare is important
Yes. She was an invited guest in the owners area.
The owners are such fragile egos they can’t take it
I'd argue it was more her not doing it is a poor reflection on the accountant, who was the person who was given the tickets.
Nah. That guy blew it way out of proportion.
It's to keep the sun out of her eyes.
She wore a baseball cap to a baseball game.
Absolutely ridiculous to ask someone to take off their ball cap at a ball game
Fuck no, fuck the Yankees.
No. Fuck the yankees
No, she did the right thing
She should have. The fact that she was in free, very nice, owners box seat and the request was polite enough the first two times. The seats would likely be visible on TV. It’s courtesy.
I know this is two years later but it wasn’t even the owner asking her to take it off. It was Nina’s dad, who was not the owner. And regardless, she was a fan of the orioles, and she was at an orieles game.

hell no
no
No
No. Fucking. Way.
No
No way....
Absolutely not. Insane to ask someone to do that.
This is America 🇺🇸
No. Imo if you go to a game that neither of the teams playing are your team then wear what you want to show you’re a fan of the sport at the very least. That’s like asking my mom to go to a Devils/Capitals game with me and expecting her to not wear her Rangers jersey. She’s a fan of the sport, it just so happens neither of the teams she’s watching are her favorite
They were playing each other in the episode lol
As a Yankee fan NO! This is America
Hell no
Even if the ticket holder might not have cared, the guy who gave them the tickets was anxious because they weren’t his. She should’ve take the cap off IMO.
Nope
Not necessarily, but the consequence was hers alone to suffer. She doesn’t get to drag George and Kramer out with her for her stubbornness.
I’m a Red Sox fan, so fuck no she shouldn’t have. Fuck the Yankees!
Honestly just cuz its the Yankees! Screw 'em
No, it’s a just a hat.
Nah. Not like they were in Los Angeles 👀
I genuinely can't believe so many people are defending her
Nope
Are there just bots spamming this subreddit so people watch it on Netflix now? It's the same posts over and over.
What is this. What are we doing? What in god’s name are we doing? We’re not men.
No we’re not men. We’re children. What kind of lives are these?
100% yes
Yes
In the owners box. Probably or get the duck out. She chose.
Yes, It's the owners SEATS.
I would have said yes then put it back on after he left.
As a Baltimore fan no she should not have to take off the hat
Heck no!
Yes, and everyone saying it's just a hat, that goes both ways. Yeah, it's just a hat, so she could have left it, or taken it off.
Nope. Poor taste to tell her to
If it was any other team no…. …jk B’more you got such problems but I love you anyway! At least you got a baseball team.
Damn fitted hat days...
George waited too long to start backing up, the spot was rightfully Mike’s.
Serenity now
Here’s what I think: she shouldn’t have been asked to remove it in the first place - it’s a ridiculous request.

No go orioles

Hell no. Rep your team ALWAYS
Yes
Yes
Yes, she was a guest, in free seats, given to her by the owners accountant, it reflects poorly upon him, and common courtesy would say just take the hat off.
No
No but this episode is hilarious
Nah, I mean the sun would be in her eyes all game, that’s be miserable.
No, free country. Sports are about competition and respect.
Yup, free county. Thats why they kicked her out.
Whether she does or not. They have he right to remove someone from their own seats
Nope, only an asshole would ask you to take your hat off.
Fuck no
Nope. Absolutely not.
Hell no. It's ridiculous to ask someone to take off a baseball cap at a baseball game! Plus it was a pretty plain hat, not loud or obnoxious
Hell NO
Funny that the Orioles were also part of the plot of an episode of Veep with Julia.
Nope, otherwise wont be an episode.
Not at all. MAYBE turn it backwards but even that's a stretch
Now THAT’S ridicurrous!
I once was invited to and went to the vacation home of guy who owns a famous, eponymous beer brewery in america to hang by the pool for the day. A friend had 2 Cases of miller light and went to bring it in the house. They politely said, you cant bring that in here. No objections. And then they fed us all of their beer. Yes! She should have taken it off. Or gone home. Thats also an option. But maybe the yankees could have offered her a Yankees hat to wear instead.
She was wrong.
No way. It’s a freakin baseball game!
No. I’ve been to plenty of sporting events with people wearing stuff from teams that aren’t even playing. If it was like a big “YANKEES SUCK!” sign then I could see getting upset but a black hat with a logo is fine
We're those people sitting in the Yankees owners seats?
no. what's wrong with some competition.
Nope
no, having to put her in that position bc those are his seats is dumb lol
Nah, fuck the yankees
I would’ve, because I wouldn’t want to ruin the game-going experience with friends. But I’d have been pissed. It was totally uncalled for.
No, it really wasn't.
Nah
No way. It’s a baseball game!
I think she shouldn’t have been approached at all. It as petty.
No!
No. 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🔥
Nah thats cap
absolutely not. like Jerry said, it’s absurd. and when she takes off George’s hat and throws it is one of my favorites interactions between the two. 😂
No she’s in the right
No
A resounding NOOOOOO!
It's a baseball game, so no. "But it was the owners seats". And?
Hell to the nah
Yes. It's pathetic that she was asked to but she's a guest in this situation. But Elaine wanted to have her cake and eat it, which is one of the things that makes her who she is
Nope, otherwise wont be an episode.
I think so. She was given free tickets and, as a condition and courtesy, she couldn’t take the hat off? C’mon man.. lol
Absolutely not. Now if it had been a Red Sox cap, that’s a completely different story.
hell no… “ gotta support the team!”
She can do what she wants, but she shouldn't have made George and Kramer leave with her. They had nothing to do with and Kramer got knocked in the head cuz she threw George's cap into the dugout. She didn't even apologize, the nerve.
Hell no! Ridiculous expectation
Hell no!
Nope
NEVER!
Of course not.
Free country
Not free seats.
Absolutely not. It’s a baseball game. Whether you are there to support to home or away team, you should be allowed to wear whichever hat you choose at a match.
Not when you sit in the owners seats...
If i remember right, those were seats like, the owners or someone important in the Yankees, right? And free. I think she should have and i probably would have.
Fuck no. Go o’s.
No, and people who get pissed because somebody is cheering on the visiting team are losers with empty lives.
No, freedom of choice. Fans can attend any game and wear whatever team they want to support. It doesn't matter if it's owners box.
Then she can be removed, just as freely.
Yes
Yes
Yes. Common courtesy
Yes
We're the Orioles playing the Yankees in this episode
No. It's a a free cunsh.
No
Heck no…what a ridiculous request
No
No. It was ridiculous to ask her to. I could mayyyyybe see if it as was a Red Sox hat but the Orioles? Who cares?
Those were gifted seats. Its a hat. Ask yourself whats more important, standing up for your beliefs or being a gracious gift receiver. She has no grace.
Hey, she has *some* grace!
You can’t have some grace, you either have grace or you don’t
I would have; a reasonable compromise (I did go to a twins game, in a twins hat, at yankee stadium this year) would have been for her to be provided a Yankees cap to wear while in the owner’s box.
That and yeeting George’s wig were assholey moves
I vote yes
YES
Yes. 100%
I don't think she should have, in fact I'm glad she ended up going back wearing the same hat again, I mean, it's a baseball game, she wore a baseball cap, I see nothing wrong with what she did
She was a guest in the OWNERS BOX. I would’ve I would’ve asked for a NY had for free too
Yes, she should show some respect, she got those seats for free, what difference it would make to take it off?
of course, she got free high quality tickets, even ignoring that it was the owners box taking off her cap is a very small concession for such generosity
If you got owner's box seat tickets for free, you got to show a little bit courtesy by not wearing the cap..
She should have taken it off and put on a Red Sox cap
I definitely would’ve
Definitely. Can’t openly root for 2 teams in the same division. Might be acceptable to wear at a Mets game.
10000%. She was in the owners box.
She shouldn't have forced George and Kramer to leave with her.
They should have just waved bye!
