Went to the local tavern this morning with a good friend to watch the Syracuse/ Minnesota bowl game. Always been a fan of Syracuse football. While watching the game the couple sitting next to us asked the bartender if he could change the channel showing the game. Bartender said that he would not because many patrons were watching it. He responded to the bartender that does he realize that Syracuse is from New York and is represented by Chuck Shumer and Minnesota is represented by the Squad. The bartender was lost for words. Is this how bad things have gotten. So without engaging into the discussion I bought them each a cocktail and told them the tv in the back has Wheel of Fortune on!!! Their look back was worth a million words!!!

I guess I've heard it all now.
You handled it well and maybe could have added that Syracuse is a private school not connected to the state of NY government.
