When the Mercury astronauts received a ticker-tape parade in 1962, were they a NY team or a team with NY in their title? What about Sammy Sosa, who received one in 1998? Or Gulf War and Korean War veterans in 1991?

Actually, on Broadway, the terms "actor" or "thespian" are now used to describe all genders.

This is nothing new.

"Policeman" and "patrolman" became "police officer". "Fireman" is now "firefighter". "Motorman" was replaced by "train operator". "Stewardess" changed to "flight attendant". Even the world's oldest profession now uses "sex worker" instead of "prostitute" or "gigolo".

Obviously other people than athletes have tickertape parades for them, those are real heroes.

I still call them actor if it's a male, actress if it's a female.

I say policeman, patrolman, fireman, garbageman, women, stewardess, prostitute.

We had another tax squandering dumbocrat as mayor in 1984, didn't we?

Koch appeared on both the Democratic and Republican Party lines for the 1981 election. He received 75% of the vote. His closest competitor was independent Frank Barbaro who ran to the left of Koch and received 13% of the vote. The Conservative Party candidate received 5% of the vote.

he still wasted taxpayer money on a NY parade for non-NT athletes.

Republican Giuliani held a ticker tape parade for Sammy Sosa in 1998.

Republican Bloomberg held ticker tape parades for the NY Football Giants (a NJ team that left NYC) in 2008 and 2012.

The bigger waste of taxpayer money is for building stadiums for sports teams. Bloomberg used taxpayer monies for building new stadiums for the Yankees and Mets. Cuomo is building a new venue for the NY Islander hockey team near Belmont Park. He also wants to spend $300M to build a new LIRR station that's further away from the new location than the existing Belmont Park station.

I don't recall a parade for Sammy Sosa nor do I understand why we'd have one. Like it or not, Jets and Giants are NY teams that have no NY venues to play in.

As for sport venues, now you ate being ridiculous. When was the last time you were at Yankee stadium? The economy of the entire neighborhood is supported by Yankee fans. That is in addition to the cash that flows directly from the Yankees to the city hall vaults.

Flying back from Kansas City last month, my friend, Al, called the flight attendant, "stewardess". When I corrected him, she told me, either is fine. She didn't spill a drink on Al and she didn't order him off the plane.

Mr. Bauman, July 9, 2015, CBS news did an article which cited 10 examples of NY ticker tape parades for non-NY sports figures. I was not aware that there were so many. That said, I am now also not persuaded to change my opinion. I still think that it's a waste of taxpayer money by a cash-strapped municipality for a political motive. If DiLousio were not crawling for president, he'd never have suggested it. Just another way big turd gets himself in front of news cameras.

He did refuse to give the NY Giants a parade after they won Super Bowl XXI. As I recall, he said that the Giants played in NJ so let NJ give them a parade, which they did. By the time the Giants won Super Bowl XXV, Dinkins was in office and he did give them a parade.

I remember attending the parade for the Gulf War veterans back in 1991.

New York ticker tape parades have historically honored national heroes as well as New York heroes. I think the Mercury astronauts got a parade as well as the Apollo 11 astronauts.

If DiLousio were not crawling for president, he'd never have suggested it.

The last ticker tape parade was 4 years ago, to celebrate the US national team winning the WWC. DeBlasio was the mayor 4 years ago and wasn't a candidate for president.

The economy of the entire neighborhood is supported by Yankee fans.

The Bronx courthouse is a larger economic driver for that area.

Agreed. But in this day and age of MeToo and women's empowerment, it makes a lot of political sense to hold a parade for the women's soccer team. Plus, winning the World Cup is a pretty big deal.
