On Saturday night, Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell became the first Major League Baseball player to kneel during the national anthem before his home game versus the Texas Rangers.
Before the game, Maxwell had posted a photo on Instagram with the following caption:

Exactly. The media’s lame attempt to glorify this punk because his old man was in the Army. Pathetic.
Yes they will. It is up to the people to enforce the discipline the coaches and owners won’t. As far as I am concerned the NFL can go to hell. As far as coming together, the “protesters” can come to America’s side.
Really a simple problem to solve: As in just about every business in America, establish a few workplace rules -- a "code of conduct" -- on how to behave while at work. Couldn't be simpler!!
I’m still unclear as to what exactly the burrs are under black players’ saddles.
`White privilege’? These guys make millions. Is is like the black actress who says she will only support other black actors, that there aren’t enough “minorities” in sports?
Can you imagine James Woods tweeting the same thing, that he will support only whites, the reaction from the media idiots?
Empathy for the brothers? Is it that we white worker drones aren’t giving up a big enough slice of the pie we earned to grown men, absent fathers and husbands who emulate these privileged men paid to chase balls by shooting hoops while the rest of us are at work?
Armed black criminals shot by cops? That out of 300 million plus, the cops make an occasional mistake, while the death toll from black-on-black homicide mounts?
In any event, as they tell us several times a day if you are white you are racist. So is that it, that they simply object to our existence? At this point I don’t care. I’m not going anywhere, but if they don’t shut up, stand up and play ball, they may face having to get real jobs.
the whore he rode in on!
She may be a beeach but his Ho is no whore.
In football or baseball, it is the DEMOCRATS, who are showing the world how they own the ball players! This is that collectivism of left....do what you are told by group, and no best friends, only bunches of friends in same political arena! That is attitude that has brought down nations.....being used by Obama/RulesForRadicals/NWO/UN....it’s a follow w no questions asked mentality!
“OK for there to be division of man from rights.”
Is he talking about China, North Korea, Cuba, the old Cambodia, the old Soviet Union, NAZI Germany?
Nope.
He’s talking about the United State of America.
(Nothing but a rude jerk, with no sense of loyalty or propriety.)
One wonders how he would do in North Korea criticizing a murderous dictator, if he would have survived protesting Mao Tze Tung, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot?
Why does he not leave the country in protest and put his money where his mouth is, just like the young soldiers who didn’t come home from all those foreign wars?
He will continue to cash his checks for all that money that has the name of the country he detests.
(Would he be on his knees if his country falls to a murderous despot?
IMHO
If this festers and spreads in MLB,the league will be destroyed. I will turn my back just like the NFL. There's other things to do. I never thought in my lifetime I would say that.
The solution is for the NFL to STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THUGBALL GAMES...
PLAY ‘RAP’ INSTEAD. HERE'S A NICE CHOICE WITH AN EASY ‘SING ALONG’ TUNE:
“Straight Up Nigga,” Ice-T SINGS, “I'm a nigga in America, and that much I flaunt...” Catchy little tune. Open the games with it... really NFL... time to ‘get real’...
“Damn right I'm a nigga
and I don't care what you are
Cause I'm a Capital N-I double-G-E-are
Black people might get mad
Cause they don't see
That they're looked upon
As a nigga just like me”

How far does the black community want to take this? When will they turn on these multimillionaire players and ask them to stop with the drama and support their country?
“In football or baseball, it is the DEMOCRATS, who are showing the world how they own the ball players!”
Try as they might, blacks will never escape some form of “The Plantation”.
I seriously doubt his Dad approves of this ...
Well at least he will be remembered for something when in the future some kid asks ‘Grandpa what was football and baseball’?
Time to gird loins and tell the perpetually aggrieved to FO and go watch football.
People walking out of stadiums at the very sight of this garbage will send the right message.
But you got to be able throw good money away for an ideal, like patriotism.
We will see how dedicated and committed Americans are.
I think professional sports is a joke and do not give them a dime.+
Wait, so you are advocating that dedicated committed Americans should go buy tickets for the purpose of walking out of the game, yet you don’t give them a dime...
??
Why fund the NFL in first place? No tickets sales would send stronger message.
Good teams may not even have tickets available unless 3rd party.
Why are you not girding your loin?
I do think that people already holding tickets walking out would be great, but the rest makes no sense to me.
That should have read NOT watch football. My apologies.
What a racist thing to say, and you did it without even thinking that black patriots (like me) might happen along and see it.
You want to bring back Jim Crow, too? Disgusting.
Media whore grandstanding alert............
I wonder if MLB is willing to lose 10-20 percent of its fans each year. I hope not, but if they make that choice it’s their right to do so.
Baseball wont put up with this shit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all hope not, but if they do they will suffer the same fate as the NFL.
Ummm, actually he really is black. He doesn’t have typical negroid features but according to wikipedia he is indeed a negro. Appearances can be deceiving but the truth is telling.
