Why is it that less/no MLB players protest the national anthem?

Would the MLB handle it differently than the NFL?

Because MLB players aren't trash. They are white boys who have grown up with racist treatment their entire life for being white, and not being "disadvantaged" or players from real areas of poverty such as the D.R. or Puerto Rico that actually value what they have been given here in America. That comes from REAL struggle, and strife. Not made up bullshite.

Not too many players affected by police brutality. Plus, the immigrant mentality is much more grateful.

Most NFL players probably have not been subject to police brutality themselves.

Why would immigrants be grateful?
I thought the us was a haven for racism, sexism, misogyny, and xenophobia?
Why would any immigrants want to come here?

Because there's a large number of Latin players who aren't from here, who grew up in countries where they faced actual adversity. They're grateful for the opportunities that they've gotten in the US and recognize it's the greatest country on earth.

The MLB is essentially putting the NFL to shame, in every aspect.

Actually, they're from the Dominican Republic. I don't know if the DR has a national anthem so they don't care.

There's really no thug culture in MLB.

I'll let you know the next time they win some gold at the Olympics, in case you're on the links when it happens.

Truth hurt? Hardly ever hear of MLB players getting in trouble, but they are mostly "white boys"...who appreciate their multi-million dollar salaries and not looking for something to protest for whatever stupid reasons the black multi-millionaires seek. Please spare me a stupid example of an MLB player getting in trouble. You are a douchetard and GFY.

MLB players do seem more upstanding.

Yeah...pretty revealing how the blacks and some posters on here just assumed that Trumps comments were directed at the black athletes.

Almost half of MLB players are foreigners...mostly from Central or South America or the Caribbean with a few sprinkled in from Asia.

SB Nation : " MLB's record on domestic violence worse than the NFLs"
Chuck Knoblauch- 2 former wives had to be put in their place
Bobby Cox - a continuing pattern of domestic violence according to the police.
Brett Myers- beat his wife in front of witnesses
Kirby Puckett- strangled ex wife with phone cord
Josh Lueke( false imprisonment,) Daryl Strawberry, Dante Bichette( pregnant girl) , many more
Lenny Dykstra & Steve Howe all types of sick shite
Denny McLain.
I think most just don't care about baseball as much anymore plus they're just good old boys who made mistakes.
Incomplete list.

There's no crying in baseball.
