How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding state action and noting that, although the Yankees may not be performing a public function in the strictest sense by operating the stadium, Yankee Stadium as a whole is undisputably devoted to public use
- city’s power to regulate certain aspects of defendant’s use of Yankee Stadium relevant to determining presence of state action in defendant’s decision to bar female reporters from locker room
- law is “well settled that state action may be found where the direct perpetrator of allegedly discriminatory acts is, though a private entity, so ‘entwined’ with an agency of the state that that agency must be deemed responsible for the private entity’s acts”
