The pregame kneel with black fabric from 1st to 3rd was enough for me to tune out. The BLM T-shirts in batting practice & mound logo were bad enough. I'm surprised they haven't just filed the stands full of black people cutouts so they could bow to the crowd after every pitch.
Baseball? No thanks...haven't paid for a subscription in years and I'm just fine watching Aussie Football off the DVR.

Having MLB put Black Lives Matter on every mound on opening day is the final straw. If I continue to watch, then I am complicit.
Guess I’m complicit. Will be watching as much as possible.

Most people are right there with you. Sports aren't important.

Seriously. I’m enjoying the shite out of this game even though it’s pretty uneventful so far. I’m not going to cancel a sport I love to watch because of something so minor. Literally has been a minuscule distraction so far during the game.

People find political shite because they want to. I barely ever notice because I don’t let shoot like that bother me.
Also I understand there is a difference between what 95% of people mean when they say black lives matter and not the few who use it as communist movement.

I feel like this point will never get the credit it deserves on this board, but it's a hell of a point. Kudos.

Dodgers started Dustin May? I need to renew my MLB subscription.

It's funny how much this board claims to hate cancel culture, while also contributing to cancel culture.
I must have missed where people from this board were rushing to Twitter or bum rushing the commisioner to get baseball players fired from their jobs.
I've seen this stupid "gotcha" being tried a few times on this board.
I'm not saying that I agree or disagree but people changing the channel =/= cancel culture. They're choosing not to partake. If you can't see the difference I'm not sure what to tell you.

It's corporate virtue singing, how the hell is it not a PR stunt? No different than every company changing to a rainbow logo in June.
Except they’re acknowledging a violent terrorist organization in BLM. On e that has caused millions of $$$ in damages. Buildings burned down, cities held hostage. A lot different than the rainbow and pink in October.
Shows how biased you are that you can’t tell the difference.
dawgfan24348 says BLM is the same as gay pride.. WAKE UP people.

It's sad to see how both the right and left are embracing cancel culture. I feel like the only level headed people in this country are moderates. People see everything as being so polarizing today. Honestly, I hardly ever watch the anthem on tv. Usually, I'm grabbing food and beer to get ready to watch the actual game.

They are truly snowflakes if they stop doing something they love because the MLB/etc has different political opinions than them. I didn't agree with CFA stance on gay marriage but I love their food. Idc for a lot of stances a lot of companies have,but if I enjoy their product I will buy it.

I don’t watch the anthem or any other pregame bullshite in football, baseball, auto racing or other sport.
DVR the game and FF through pregame. They could be blowing each other on the sidelines or hailing Satan or praising Putin, but I’d never know.
Play ball!

When they come for you, don’t ask for my help.

Great job. They won't care until enough people take your stance and they start bringing in less money.
I didn't think the bs would infect MLB.

You can give thanks to the news media for a lot of this providing a lot of fuel to both sides of the fire

BLM cannot deny the looting, rioting and murder that they have done. Proof is there. Supporting BLM makes you no better than the murderers. I will not be a part of it. If college sports starts this crap, then I am done with it too.
