Yesterday was NYU's graduation ceremony at Yankee stadium - a day when young men and woman get together and celebrate together their academic accomplishments. This nitwit character decided to make it all about himself. He took off his pants (but left on his gown), hurled himself onto the field and tried to start running the bases. He was immediately tackled to the ground and removed.
Lot of his fellow grads cheered him on and if you read the message boards, the guy's a hero. My opinion: graduation ceremonies are mind-numbingly dumb so a little spontaneity is most welcome. But this was just stupidly selfish. If a group of NYU grads has swarmed the field and done it together, it would've be great. This was just sad, however.
Full disclosure: I just got a grad degree from NYU and could've been at this ceremony yesterday. If I had known this was gonna happen, I might have gone. Might have.
