Had a golden opportunity to be welcomed back by fans with open arms everywhere, but you allowed liberals to screw that up as well.

They can do it. We can walk away from MLB. Works both ways.

They have every right to kneel, just as others have every right to not attend MLB games or watch them on TV.

I just want to watch a gotdamned baseball game - not watch some overpaid idiots disrespect me (as a veteran) and the most visible symbol of our country.

Won't stop me from watching it

In fact, I may upgrade to hulu live so I can watch as many games as possible

I have missed my favorite sport so much


I would care if they made noise. That can and will disturb others from being able to hear it.

This is I don't care. Think it is pointless, but I don't have to do it

1A has nothing to do with it. You thought you were so clever, as did the humps that starred your post.

You missed the part about cancel culture too.

It would have been just as wrong as your 1A statement.

You sound as if you were caught offguard...

Just so F16 users are prepared, there WILL be mass kneelings at NFL games this fall and NBA games this winter.

This is not going away any time soon, so you might as well be ready for it.

These players are dumb in all the professional leagues. Keep on pissing off over half your audience. Michael Jordan was right....don't be stupid.

The first amendment means the government can't punish you because of what you say.

At this point in 2020, I'm honestly shocked that mindless leftists still trot this trope out.

Oh I'm ready for it. We are going camping several weekends in the fall. No sports watching for us. "Not Another Dime" funds were converted into a brand new camping trailer.

They blew this opportunity months ago. They had the chance to be the first sport back by two months, a shot at owning the sports world for eight weeks. And instead they got in a huge fight over money. In the middle of the pandemic.

All of them can suck on wheels. Baseball is run by jackasses

Serious question: why are they even playing the National Anthem? And why televise it? Its not like there are fans to join along and most people just want to watch them play.

I think free speech rights need to be expanded. If there are protected classes in private employment based on your gender, race, or sexuality, it is a natural bridge to say your political views should likewise be protected.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the A&M players kneel at some point. I think they are only on the field during The Spirit of Aggieland.

Are they kneeling to protest blacks killing themselves in epidemic numbers? If so, I support it.

Exactly, as lefties love to proclaim...

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

But if you think they will, then boycott

I used to be really skeptical of this one, but in the age of "at least pretend to be woke or get fired" I might be able to be convinced.

I think may get more frustrated at kneeling during the the Spirit, or even Texas Our Texas, than the National Anthem. Does that make me a doubly bad American?

How do you figure? July 4 was the earliest they were ever going to be back.

In what world did you imagine they'd be back 2 months before any other sport? (That would be May if you are only talking team sports)

The MLB has the most to lose with this stuff. The anti-American losers who like it when players kneel don't watch baseball anyway.

I absolutely agree they have the right to do that, but they should not then complain if the fans decide to bleed them dry.

Did the the mlb get woke and play the black national anthem ? If not then why not ? Are they gonna play a Latin national anthem since there are more Latin players than black in the league ?

Come on mlb here is your chance to set the bar.....

In baseball?

I haven;t been to a game at Olsen in 7 years.

They don't come out for the anthem anymore? Especially with the little kids on the field with them?

Or do you mean football and basketball?

Best thing to do is not react to the kneeling. They lose their forum and then will probably stop doing it. I really don't GAS if the SF Giants Manager is not happy with X, Y , or Z.

Agree it's disrespectful and disgraceful but that's just the way some people are . I don't like it and I understand why some folks would walk away from the sport/league because of it but to me it's throwing the baby out with the bathwater if it's not a widespread thing.
