Unfortunately, he doesn’t know the difference between patriotism and politics.

Baseball writers seem to be some of the most egotistical,narcissistic douchenozzles around. Cannot think of a decent one I have heard/read off the top of my head.

The flag and national anthem has been a part of the sport for a long long time.

The flag and the anthem have each been around much longer than baseball.

LOL. That wasn’t the point.

The point is the National Anthem has been sung at ball games for upwards of 100 years now.

It’s hardly something new for petunia to get upset about.

Baseball fans: NBC Sports at baseball games too un-American.

There isn’t a front office in MLB that wouldn’t love to have the first openly gay player in their system. I think it will be harder than in NBA or NFL for it to happen, due to the rules of baseball. He is going to really have to cut the mustard, it’s got too many individual metrics to tell how a player is really doing. MLB already has an ‘inclusion ambassador’ to bring inclusion to MLB or the fans or some crap.

I meant “queer” as a verb. As in to damage.

Give him some red jammies and a cup of cocoa and he’ll feel better.

If these sorry ba—ards cannot stand the American flags at sport events maybe it is time for them to leave the USA and NEVER come back.

The flag is a time-honored uniquely American cultural symbol. A flag has no politics.

Calceterra reminds me of that ding-a-ling in Fresno who used his academic standing (and his free speech ticket) to blithely call for the public hanging of President Trump.

LESSON OF THE DAY: You give these fruitcakes an inch, and they take a yard.

The nit-picking Calceterra is using his standing as a journo and the freedoms he gets nowhere else to trash the flag.

God knows what Calceterra plans to trash next. Maybe putting extra cream cheese on a bagel might offend him as being un-Kosher?
