I understand where you are coming from. Although the "Flag as a Symbol" Per Se is a hollow narrative in the context: Of Having Donald Trump An America-Hating Treasonous Misogynist Racist (who has Immeasurably Disgraced the Office, Tarnished the Flag, and made America a Worldwide Laughingstock) As President. Anyway, back to MLB, I fully support anything that MLB is doing in regards to recognizing Social Justice.
Have you ever posted without bringing up Trump? So you support the ideal that “white silence is violence”? That by simply not saying or doing anything a White person is committing a violent act against blacks?
MLB sleeve patches seem to be gone. Mound still has BLM instead of the correct MLB on it. Looks like MLB, the teams and MLBPA have different views from each other. Kudos for having the courage to not cave into social pressure. People watch to watch the teams and players, not the admin of the league so screw em.
I was wrong. Mound today says “United For Change” vs “BLM” Yesterday One is divisive and one is not. Much better.
Had BLM just started with “Black Lives Matter Too” BLMT is would not only not have been divisive it would have said so much more in regards to the message they say they want to spread.
But then how do you explain that sports are played all over the world? How do you explain that people have played sports long before the anthem was even imagined? I agree with you when you say that a lot of people don’t understand freedom at all.
They are everyday citizens as you are. What's the difference between them and someone who was on a TV show and now that person is POTUS. Is that how Trump got elected President.
If this doesn't prove the BLM is a TOP-DOWN astroturfed movement, nothing does. It is frankly weird to see elites who control the MSM, corporations and social media all colluding to fund a semi-revolution against the country in a blatantly transparent effort to win an election.
In the public perception a few years back, his opinion and advice to NFL owners was a very large factor in how it all played out.
Better idea. Next time Blacks quietly peaceful protest, Shut up and let them. If people like you would not make such a big deal about Kaepernick it would have quietly went away.
Rangers, Jets season ticket holder? You must be close to where I'm originally from, Fort Lee. I gave up on baseball when they went on strike for the playoffs in the 90s and haven't watched an inning since. I gave up on football three years ago when the Giants went 0-3 and all that kneeling started and I haven't watched a play since. There is not a single televised sporting event the ever changed my life and it was easy to walk away after MBL and NFL insulted me and millions of others. I now fill in my Sundays perfecting my Photoshop skills and restoring old photos for friends and family. Instead of sitting on the couch for hours at a time, I'm now productive and can help people with their memories.
No, I gave up my Jets season tickets when they moved to Joisey. NYC born and bred. Never lived anywhere else. When I go to vote all the workers whisper to each other that "He's a Republican". They've never seen one before.
BUT black lives as a group don't matter to what is called BLM. That portion of the group that does have anything to do with black lives mattering is focused on cop on black violence and NOT black on black violence. It's just that Black Lives Matter plays better to those being conned then Black Lives Matter Sometimes (BLMS) does.
Bye! Don't let the turnstyle hit you in the ...Never mind. I forgot that's what it's supposed to do. In that case, enjoy your turnstyle.
