Giants players kneel

Oh well it was wishful thinking. Glad I found other hobbies to fill the time.

and the official MLB account tweeted this

@MLB

It has never been about the military or the flag. The players and coaches are using their platforms to peacefully protest.

I’ve tuned out and will focus on something else. No politics in sports please.

Letting a bunch of strangers know your disdain while stressing you'll be fine and fishing for up votes.

Not saying it's what you're doing, but...

You came to the board to tell us that you will be doing other hobbies instead of watching MLB due to players kneeling.


That is textbook virtue signalling.

Kneelers didn't wear masks.

Didn't see that coming.

This isn’t that difficult

All sports should stop playing the anthem before games.

Or if they are determine to play it, then play the anthem before the teams take the field.

Problem solved

One would think, yet here we are.

I liked Cuban's take - why don't you get upset at your boss that they don't play the anthem before you start your work everyday too...

...then Cuban got bodybagged by Cruz.

This is like showing up to a funeral in a banana hammock and saying “it isn’t about the person who died”
