The Story: The Angels have instructed ticket takes to keep working during the national anthem.
The Monkey Says: I can’t tell if this is more of the Angels being tone deaf or people looking for reasons to pile on Angel management or both. Probably both. The Halos issued this mandate out of the desire to keep crowds moving and get people into the park, which is now slower with the installation of metal detectors at the gates, but it does seem a bit disrespectful. Whoever issued this policy clearly didn’t think it all the way through, but I also understand that Angel Stadium isn’t the first venue to have such a mandate.
