That may be true, I don't know, that's not what MAGA was intended for and you, me, and everyone knows that's not what the Trump administration is about. You may pretend like you disagree, but you do agree with me. Neo Nazi groups have also adopted Christianity as part of their representation, and as a Trump voter and a Christian, I find it repulsive.



So why is it ok to say "Make America Great Again" but not "Black Lives Matter"?

Both are good messages that have been hijacked for political gains.

It really is crazy how the term black lives matter has crumpled white men into insecure, fragile beings.



Add Gautemalans to that list. The term doesn't bother me, the organization itself does.

It's not ok for either to be put on a sports field. And saying black lives matter is ok, I just don't support the organization.

And don't try to tell me BLM isn't a DNC controlled organization


Look, just because 100% of the money donated to them goes to a democrat PAC doesn't mean that it is a democrat run organization OK.

So people should've boycotted baseball when MLB allowed Trump to throw out the first pitch with a MAGA hat on, right?

One person wearing a hat is clearly not a league wide endorsement of something.
Big difference

But I thought neither have no place on the field?

Trump throwing out the first pitch is the same as having MAGA drawn on the pitcher's mound? Obama threw first pitch also and I actually hoped he'd throw a good one. Having MAGA or BLM written on the field isn't the same as the President throwing a pitch. BLM isn't here to support any certain ethnic group, or our country. They are here, tearing down the black communities and dividing our country. Our Presidents present and former, aren't here to do that.

I don't think you would see as much push back if it were just someone wearing a BLM hat throwing out a first pitch

Ehh, I'd argue differently.

There is a real financial reason for both parties to make sure that the poor stay poor.

I don't think Obama wanted the poor to stay poor. I don't think he was a very good President and I voted for him the first time. I think most want to do good.

the president of the United States and a questionable and possible hate group are different. It's been a tradition for a president to throw a pitch.

People loved it when bush did it and even when obama tried to do it. But personally, I dont feel any of that cute shite belongs on a field.

I mean, this board would melt the same way other people melted when Tom Brady had a MAGA hat in his locker.

My point is that neither side of the coin is different. People will defend their side and melt in the face of the other side.

I get that, everyone has the right to agree and disagree with stuff.

My problem is everyone being hypocritical in saying "NO POLITICS IN SPORTS .... (but if it's my politics it's ok)"

I misinterpreted your post to mean you thought the POTUS and MAGA hats were loosely associated with a hate group. I see what you're saying now.

Stop using reasonable thinking and logic around here. Only "liberals" melt about things! Everyone who disagrees with Trump is a beta cuck because they get offended too easily! But that never happens with Trump supporters - EVER!
