I agree with him, especially since the Houston Astros were allowed to wear special hat honoring the Moon landing.

Well, MLB is evolving toward political correctness. Perhaps MLB would have allowed the tribute hats if they had “Somebody did something” embroidered on the hats.

It makes you wonder how decisions are made in sports.

They allow pink bats for breast cancer awareness, I believe?

They have rainbow nights to honor homosexuality.

But we can’t honor 9/11 first responders?

And the NFL declined the Dallas Cowboys request to put decals on helmets, to honor the five Dallas police officers killed in a mass shooting a few years ago.

They don’t want to offend the former Resident and Muslims everywhere.

Alonso had shoes made up for each player, didn’t bother to ask permission. We like Alonso.

It is easier to seek forgiveness than ask permission.

The Mets should have just worn the hats.

[Jane Long]

Agree, completely.

And, I’m an Astros fan.

[Robert DeLong]

This [MLB] decision was a real slap in the face to all the first responders who stepped up during the worst terrorist attack in the history of our nation

Not to mention every American who loves this country.

I don't like it when they change their uniform for any special purpose. I am very aware of breast cancer, gay pride, prostate cancer, Jackie Robinson, etc. I watch baseball to be LESS aware of these things for a couple of hours. But since they do promote these topics it sets them up for requests to "raise awareness" for all sorts of other things and whenever they say no, then of course some folks are going to be upset.

If: Professional sports
Then: Corrupt

Period.

Not the players, or not most of them, but most certainly the “leadership” of semi-sentient morons.

Pete Alonso did wi the cleats, you just don't tell them...

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Time for a new commissioner who actually understand the significance of “9/11” and not as “somebody did something to somebody”.

[ifinnegan]

“the league did observe 9/11 last Wednesday with ballparks holding a moment of silence and pregame ceremonies. Players and coaches wore team caps – but they included a special side patch featuring a red, white, and blue ribbon, a modified version of the MLB logo with a US flag, and a caption reading “September 11, 2001 WE SHALL NEVER FORGET.””

This is a grandstanding Democrat politician.
