I don’t know anything about him, but would bet that he was a marginal player, and that’s why he’s not in a big league spring training camp. Not because of him kneeling.
If he spit on the flag (by kneeling during the anthem)then he should be banned from baseball forever.
I have no sympathy for this anti-American butt wipe at all
His life is not as difficult as those of the families of soldiers who died fighting under that flag. Why should I feel sorry for him?
Bottom Line: If you intend to do something STOOOOPID like this you had better have gone to at least two All-Star Games and have batted over .300 for the past couple of seasons. They have no use for journeyman back-up catchers who are going to cause PR problems.
Unlike the NFL, MLB does not put up with this nonsense.
Maybe he can play in Canada.
But I think it was the criminal charges stemming from pulling a gun on a female food delivery driver that is causing teams to take a pass.
Baseball fans won’t put up with flag haters.
Did you read the part of the article that explains that he initially refused to get on his knees for the cops?
Ironic to say the least.
He was another hoaxer too. He claimed the waiter was “racist” to him because of his kneeling even the waiter had never heard of him before.

All I knew is if I were a Major League pitcher and I am pitching against a kneeler, they are going to hear some serious chin music.
Not out because he knelt... out because he got stinking drunk and pulled a gun on a food delivery girl and then got snotty with the cops. The kneeling was a contributing factor, but the alcohol abuse which led to a weapons violation was the root cause.
Sorry, Bruce but when you’re batting .182 last season, you could drape yourself in the flag and salute it but you better be looking for a day job because no one’s gonna hire you to play at night. Sucks to be you, kneeling dude.
From the article:
“I apologized to her, told her to hold on. I went and put [the gun] away. I came back and told her I’m sorry; I’m going through some things right now and I didn’t know who was at my door. She was like, no, it’s fine. “
From another article reporting on police records:
The woman identified herself as a delivery driver, and Maxwell lowered the gun, keeping it near the door and against the wall, documents state. Fearing for her safety, she dropped the food off at his doorstep, and called police after returning to her vehicle, police records said.
So if had already put the gun away and apologized and she was “like no it’s fine” why didn’t she just hand him the food? Why drop the food on his doorstep and run?
IN my experience, when a delivery person drops your food on your doorstep and runs away to their car and dials 911, no, they are not “like” “it’s fine”.
A lot of the degree havers of today are still burger flippers.
Too many degrees from too many schools these days train kids for nothing more than threesomes and binge drinking.
Do stupid things, win stupid prizes. Pissing Americans off does have its consequences.
Can’
t he just get a job at Starbucks or PayPal, both companies HATE America just like he does???
When you spit on the country that gave you such great oppurtunity you should expect it to turn on you.
Trump curse.
Learn to code, Bruce.
National Pastime,
not,
Globalist Pastime.
