Allow me to bring you up to date on the subject of my tirade.
A construction worker who was part of a team of workers were commissioned to pour concrete for the new Yankees Stadium. The man being a Sox fan took the opportunity mid-pour to sink a Davis Oritz #34 Boston Red Sox jersey into the wet concrete, supposedly with the intent to "curse" the Yankees.
Now let me confess a few things, although I enjoy the baseball I have no particular bias towards either team, also my job for several years used to be pouring concrete so I consider myself fairly competent when speaking on the subject. I want to say without reservation that sinking a piece of fabric into a pour like that will in no way cause structural damage to the concrete itself unless the concrete is already damaged or the abandoned concrete begins to deteriorate in several hundred years from now.
I can say I have never been to a large pouring where something didn't end up in the pour we couldn't fish out: a screwdriver, a can of skoal, a whopper from Burger king.
