Interesting comment, insatty. My own feeling, albeit from the perspective of a Gentile, is that anti-Semitism is generally quite frowned upon in the U.S.—unless it comes from the Loony Left. (Europe is another story, as I'm sure you know.)

Since Bruce Froemming is not one of the Loony Left (just lower-case loony), his remark may well end his umpiring career. His one chance lies in hurriedly joining some Lefty group and claiming that what he said stemmed from being distraught over the plight of the Palestinians. I suspect he'd soon find himself in the loving arms of the Left and then comfortably ensconced in a first-class seat (can't imagine him in coach) to Japan.

He could then hit the Ivy League lecture circuit.
