Yankees fans threaten boycott after ban of Kate Smith’s ‘God Bless America’

Kate Smith’s rendition of “God Bless America” has been scrapped at Yankee Stadium, but Bronx Bomber fans are going to bat for her over allegations of racism.

Smith’s niece, Suzy Andron, told The Post she is “honored” by the groundswell of support for the late singer among fans and media.

“Most are solidly behind the positive notion that this is a misunderstanding by a few people who took two or three of her songs [out of 3,000 that she recorded] out of context and inflated a story that my Aunt Kathryn must have been a racist,” Andron said.
