Hollywood Celebrates Major League Baseball Taking a Knee: ‘I Started Tearing Up!’
Breitbart ^ | July 24 2020 | DAVID NG

Hollywood celebrities cheered their approval when major league baseball players took a knee during Thursday’s season opening games on both sides of the country. The players, who were sometimes joined by their coaches, knelt during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner.

The kneeling was their way of paying tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement as well as to former NFL star Colin Kaepernick, who started the trend when he began kneeling during the national anthem at football games. President Donald Trump has expressed his disapproval of kneeling during the national anthem, saying that he will stop watching sporting events in which athletes show disrespect for the American flag.

Celebrities were elated on Thursday when baseball players defied the president and knelt on the field before their matches began. Rob Reiner payed tribute to players who knelt during the match between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants.

Oh come on, Rob Reiner loves Nike. you know the multinational company that has Colin Kaepernick as its spokesman. Nike manufactures LeBron James sneakers made in China using slave and child labor. Rob Reiner loves China and approves of child and slave labor. He only hates America, and approves of fellow millionaires who take a knee.

Starting very soon, Sports are going to take a knee to the groin.
Americans are starting to realize we don’t need Newspapers, News, Sports, Hollywood or Politicians.
