“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.”
To back up what you posted, in spite of a good economy, the SF Giant’s have had a miserable team. In a couple of month they went from forever sellout of tickets to a lot vacant seats at a game.
If they allow this bs to start, they will not be able to open their gates to play their expensive game.
Even liberal Oakland, Seattle and Gay Frisco will lose attendance if the anti America bs starts in the MLB.
We stopped watching the Former Niners last year with the Colon kneeling bs. That will happen if the SF Giants allow it.
...because it is amazing what one can do without when they put their mind to it.
Traitor
Ah, makes much more sense now :)
To be pedantic, he is mixed-race:
And while the article does not mention his dad's race, I am willing to bet he is black, and does not approve of what his son is doing.
“The Oakland A’s pride ourselves on being inclusive. We respect and support all of our players’ constitutional rights and freedom of expression.”
So players can argue balls and strikes now?
I know it would not happen, but I would hope for season ticket holders to demand a refund because of the antics on the field.
He’s not black, he may be part black or mulatto or biracial or high yellow or red bone but he is not black. Samuel L Jackson is black.
Just like Obama is not black with a white mother.
Stephen Curry too is not black with a white mother.
Insane times we live in.
I hope his dad was not too old to whoop his azz when he got home.
It's been four hours, and he/she has been too cowardly to apologize yet. Ignoramus. I am shaking my head.
Please don't think he/she represents all FReepers. You worked so hard during the campaign on the FR Caucus threads and in comments on many others. It did not go unnoticed by me, that is for sure.
I know. It's why I'm still here, after all these years ☺
Thanks also for the kind words.
That’s because he KNOWS what real oppression is.
Another misguided professional asshole athlete assuming the Constitutional rights he did crap to obtain.
Obama Administration/Democrats have set civil rights real progress back more than 50 years.... it may never be restored. The amount of divisiveness done by ZERO is unbelievable! NBRA.com is conservative website/blog and gives true history of Dems, and Republicans.
De nada, Windflier!
Mighty white of you.
I, too, have been waiting for someone to speak up about this abhorrent post. I read all of your posts along with a few of my favorite Freepers- LS, Doughty One and Windflier to name a few. I shudder when I see a thread about this disrespect for our flag and anthem, for as much as I agree with the premise, I fear the ignorant few will start coming out of the woodwork. Thankfully, they are in the minority on this great site.
We all dismissed that person as an idiot.
Nobody defended them, and everyone that addressed them put them in their place.
We don’t stand for that sort of thing here.
Take heart...
Don’t agree with your post.
I think players of all stripes (races) need to have clean records. That would be my only take-away on this.

For the record, I thought this was an incident I saw earlier today, where the post had been removed and a number of people came out against it.
I do not see the amount of push-back here that is called for.
I just skimmed the comments first time & must have missed this.
Black players taking a knee is no different than white owners supporting their anti-Americanism. Neither should be tolerated.
