It’s stupid but I doubt some asinine copy-catting will cause much of a stir, people will recognize the idiocy for what it is.

Deafied major league sports. Now it’s time to pull down the idols.

What an 'effing idiot.
Even players from Japan and Latin America who can't speak a word of English don't pull this sh!t.

Well we now have the “$hit Hole Troika,” The NFL, the NBA and now Major League Baseball. Sure am glad I got away from all of it 30 years ago. I've actually enjoyed my life participating in various sporting activities in stead of living vicariously in front of my TV.

Canha should have pushed him over on his stomach to humiliate him.

I am begging, to all NHL players. DO NOT KNEEL. I’m not watching flicking golf all year. Come ON.

The Lefts ultimate goal is to get the National Anthem banned at all sporting events. They want to do to patriotism what they did to Christianity.

And now on to the MLB - all these franchises are going to go bankrupt when the fans are no longer fans of this outrage.

Ironically, I think the NBA has no issue with players pulling stunts during the national anthem. They went through this same sh!t back in the 1990s with some surly malcontent, and they added some very specific language to the standard player contracts in the next collective bargaining agreement.

There as an new upcoming alternative to the traditional 3 commercial spectator sports: Ultimate Frisbee. The sport is fast and exciting. The players are all decent, intelligent and well-mannered, as well as being superb athletes. I highly recommend Ultimate.

Great point. We dropped two nukes on Japan but their players show respect and know that the game is bigger than they are or their pet projects.

Shame on crowd if they did not walk out!
To: Cheerio
Would the late George Steinbrenner of the Yankees put up with it?
Would Tony La Russa put up with it with his teams?
That’s the question.

The Lefts ultimate goal is to get the National Anthem banned at all sporting events. They want to do to patriotism what they did to Christianity. They're terrified with by the thought that some day the final stanza of the National Anthem might actually be sung, which contains these lines:
"...and this be our motto:
'In God is our trust'."

And, of course the loser leftists are cheering this fool on. Twitter is all a twit over this. More praise than disgust, as far as I can tell. Sickening to see.
