Will the left now attack Major League Baseball players for not kneeling during the American national anthem? They already say that baseball is a "white sport". It's a "white man's game". What will happen now?
How do they feel about “O Canada” at Blue Jays games?
NBA has a rule about standing for the Anthem.
I would like to see what happens when some basketball players take a knee.
Anyone know if baseball has a similar rule.
More people playing, more who want to and can play, less "job" security, so, let 'em try.
It’s possible... Trump may very well have ‘jumped the shark’ in tweeting about Curry this morning.
Will there be any white MLB players in the kneeling?
Will storied franchises like the Yankees, Dodgers, Cardinals, Royals ALLOW IT?
They are systematically destroying all the cultural icons of this country, so Baseball can’t be far behind. Besides, the world’s ending later today and I won’t get to see the world series, so I don’t care.
Why? What’s wrong with withdrawing an invitation when that person is out in public badmouthing the invitation andvyou?
Of course, that might not prevent a few black players from protesting. But, Rob Manfred, the MLB commissioner, should do what Roger Goodell failed to and forbid any protests.
¿Que?
If you’re a ‘regular guy’ - nothing. If you’re the President, it’s a whole ‘nother matter.
Curry wasn’t coming anyway, but the reactions I’m seeing on twitter to this have escalated to a new height... Trump should really let a lot of this go: criticism clearly comes with the territory.
Are you kidding? We've heard that literally thousands of times going back to when Trump first started running. And, the predictions have been wrong every time.
Yeah, but they are “White” Hispanics.
A slight variation of “I wish Trump would stop tweeting”.
Individual teams have rules, some very strict. The league does not have a rule, AFAIK.
MLB is 25% foreign-born than with very few from Mexico, and is less than 10% American black. Players generally spend minimum time in college. America-hate is not normal among MLB players.
Disrespecting the anthem has happened in MLB, but not for overtly political reasons. Players and teams call out offenders.
“Baseball, by far, is the most racially diverse sport. No sport league has more Hispanic and Asian players in it.”

Of course it is,but diversity today means blacks,period.
It’s all about them.

True. I think he should. I brings a lot of this on himself. It doesn’t exactly help him govern.
It’s too “white, traditional”. According to some.
Tweet him. I'm sure he'll take your comments under advisement.
How many times have you personally claimed Trump has jumped the shark over the past two-plus years?
Zero. Feel free to fact-check me on that.
