The left is signaling that when they’re done tearing down statues and monuments that they’re going to piviot to attacking the other icons of American culture.

Baseball will have to go because it’s been called ‘racist’.

Then the baseball stadiums, which will now be monuments to racism, will have to be torn down.

Then they’ll come after the churches.

someone should lower a huge “abortion kills babies” sign. While doing one’s best to maximize publicity

It will upstage the leftists, uses their own methods against them, will make the media realize their agitation and propaganda is a two-way street, and for sports fans who simply want to have politics left out of sports - will force owners to crack down hard on political protests of all kinds.

MLB will help, will be interesting to see how Rob Manfred politicizes World Series Game 1 this year with or without the President.

I doubt very much they were “fans” of anything but BLM.

I actually think this sort of thing is good for our side. It lets the public know these people are nuts.

Perps are probably anti-American liberals, not racist “conservatives.”

That's a big sign - apparently no one checked it at the gate.

If World Series Game 1 is at the Cleveland Indians park, Trump won’t be allowed. The “Indians” are a offensive term to Native Americans and liberals.

If World Series Game 1 is at Dodger Stadium, L.A., he won’t be allowed to visit because the the Left lives in L.A.

If World Series Game 1 is at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., he may get a favorable crowd.

The 2017 World Series will be determined by which postseason team has the best regular-season record to have home field advantage.
