America's game, America's pastime... every player (black, white, or other) stood proudly for the anthem until now... but what's new? There is no more racism or brutality today than in ANY time in the past- actually there was a lot more in the past but it wasn't all over facebook. The actual difference [although not acknowledged] is that now we have trials for and prosecute rogue cops! (and many good ones if sjw's cry aloud for it on facebook)

The Marxists those baseball players (aka useful idiots) are kneeling for will be seizing every car, home, and bank account of every baseball player on the field the first chance they get. The players are kneeling their life savings away...for "the people" comrades.

MLB season opens without me caring what they do

MLB season opens without me caring what they do

Im done with any sport that gets political. Its funny to me that you never see these knuckle draggers protesting in the streets during the off-season with the general public. They only care if it gets them attention.

This pisses me off beyond words. I have already stopped watching the children of the NFL once I realized Goodell wasn't going to have the spine to put a stop to it. So I just got off the phone with the office of the commissioner of the MLB and let them know exactly how I feel about this. As a veteran and patriot I won't put up with over paid players behaving badly, when their only reason for playing is to entertain the fans!

Feel free to call them yourself and protest this behavior before it gets out of hand. The number is 412-714-0999. Press 0 to get right to a live person.

The sports team owners know that they are making their paying fans mad. However, they understand that the sheeple are addicted to their professional entertainment and will start buying tickets and team gear again once the “new normal” of pro sports social justice posturing has been accepted.
Same mentality of people who flocked to the coliseums to watch gladiators go at each other, regardless of how poorly the ruling class treated them.

So very proud of my wife! She just cc'd me on the email she sent to the MLB.

To the Commissioner of the MLB:

Baseball is a sport, not a political platform.

Your Twitter post claims that the players’ kneeling has nothing to do with the flag or the military, and yet you allow and even encourage your organization to disrespect the NATIONAL ANTHEM of the United States. Men and women fought and DIED to keep our country free, and the U.S. flag and anthem represents our collective national pride and gratitude for their sacrifices. As the granddaughter of a World War II veteran and as the wife of a Navy veteran, I am angry that you are allowing politics to invade the MLB and that you are intentionally kowtowing to a particular group’s agenda and to the almighty dollar instead of taking pride in your country.

Baseball has long been named “America’s National Pastime”, and it’s PAST TIME that you remember that U.S. veterans, their families, and millions of other American citizens will refuse to support your organization if you continue to pander to a single group of individuals. Baseball is a sport. If I want politics, I’ll watch the news.

Bread & Circuses... our Republic deserves the fate of Rome if we can’t see the forest for the trees.

Looks like I may be looking for a new sport to watch. How is hockey these days??

Wonder why they don't take a knee for the thousands of babies murdered everyday?

Babies lives matter street mural.

It was painted over immediately, without calls of vandalism or anyone being arrested.

I guess everyone but one player knelt at a New York game before the National Anthem. I think they all got up for the anthem.
