In a move that may have some wondering just who has the real “privilege” in America, a white Major League Baseball player has been suspended for the rest of the season after taking a subtle swipe at NFL player Colin Kaepernick and his alleged “protest” of the national anthem while condemning President Barack Obama and the violent Black Lives Matter movement.

IMO This story is a model display of liberals politicizing and ruining everything they get control of. As well as their fascist double standards regarding free speech.
F**k the MLB and the NFL.
So, explain to us here in Rio LInda, how it is okay for a darker pigment to express is angst against the establishment but the litter pigment color looses his job. What logic is used to justify this as rational behaviour.
What logic is used to justify this as rational behaviour.
*************
The same “logic” that overlooks the slaughter of blacks in Chicago.
Everyone knows who has the real privilege in America. It sure ain’t people like me.
It is the hatred of Obama that has led to discriminate against whitey.
Secondly, I'll repeat what some other Freepers pointed out yesterday ... He would never have been suspended if he was better than a .221 hitter this season with one home run. Is it even a "suspension" if the guy has only played 22 games this year anyway?
Jerry Jones went into the locker room before the Cowboys Giants game yesterday. He looked around at all the young men and addressed them as a group.
“Regardless of your personal opinions, this is a sacred day that we recognize the sacrifice and pain that so many have endured. When the National Anthem is played by a lone trumpet player in a few minutes you WILL stand and you WILL put your hand over your hearts.” Jerry waited a second and made eye contact with several players to make sure his words had sunk in. He knew he had there undivided attention and proceeded. “You gentlemen are world class athletes, but you are also actors. You perform on a stage that is 100 yards long. Today, you play the role of a patriotic super hero. You will play this role well because you know that millions of children will be watching and looking at your example.” Then his inner fire started to shine through as he said quietly “but most of all I want you to remember, you are the actors, but this is MY stage and you will play the role I tell you to.”
All of organized sports has been coopted by the left and the PC crowd. Time to give it all up. Just have pick up games or create conservative leagues.
Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed
"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."
"Yet they do."
"Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."
"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."
"Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks."
"We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

Athletic and beauty events in ancient pagan civilizations were intended to brutalize and desensitize, and often involved pederasty, concubinage and such. Take away the Christian values from Western Civilization and what’s left is a return to pagan brutality and immorality. Sports can’t be an exception.
You might have missed the point.
Time for a big, big law suit.
It’s the difference in the NFL and MLB.
If they were both under the auspices of the same organization I would be equally up in the air.
BTW, businesses affected by the BLM BS ought to be sueing them too....they have $100 million dollars to wage war on us. Much of it from Soros.
Ask any black person and they will tell you, "Because that's just the way it is."
That's their logic.
He was suspended WITHOUT PAY so I would say it mattered to him a great deal.
Hoax.
“Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit.”
That’s because they break stuff when they get upset. Muslims break stuff when they get upset, so let’s not get them upset. FEH! Whites get upset and write a nasty letter, or if Christian, will pray for you. Until whites REALLY get upset and put this crap forcibly down (break things) its going to get worse. Then it won’t matter when the leftists call us names.
wow.
Major league sports kind of ruined everything. When the major league took over all of the minor leagues they used their monopoly power to kill off all other minor league or semipro teams, so it suppressed much local action.
