I think that the MLB does a great job of not getting involved with politics because their ratings are falling.
It's become a dying sport among the younger male demographic.
Where as with football, where the players are more vocal, even in a year where "ratings fell" they still outshined any other sport int he country.

That said I ignore it from all ends.
I don't care for the kneeling, but it doesn't bother me to stop watching the game.
They could do whatever the frick they want. The only people that complain about it are the ones that look for it.
Now days it's pretty easy to monitor what you see. If you don't like something on your feed... Block it or dont follow it.
Not like theres only one source for information

maybe so...however there is reason to be concerned....

It’s still the most popular sport in the U.S., but questions of safety make its demise seem inevitable

Forty-eight percent of all Americans and 46 percent of all parents say that they would encourage a child interested in playing football to pursue another sport

What this points to is a future of possibly fewer children entering the game, fewer teens becoming fully fluent in it by high-school graduation, fewer collegiate athletes reaching the same levels of excellence as had been seen in previous generations and thus, in time, a poorer final product at the professional level, one that may not be able to sustain the outsized ratings and profits the league currently maintains.

In the end, football is still America's game, but it's future in America is appears very much in doubt.
