Boycott all sports!
They could care less if the stadiums get filled or not. The revenue comes from other places like television and sports packages that get put onto cable networks whether people want those channels or not. As in college football, all sports make more money through television contracts than they ever did through stadiums. The in-person crowds just feed their egos when they hear the cheers of the fans.
Those baseball players sure look like a conquered people kneeling with their masks on. What’s with the long black cloth? All are overpaid whores.
“...The players and coaches are using their platforms to peacefully protest.”
Yeah, I think they’re leaving out the part, where kneeling is pretty much *MANDATORY* for players now, unless they want to have their career and personal lives destroyed by the “woke” media.
I’m in. I was really looking forward to baseball as a slight tweak towards normalcy. But I refuse to support anthem kneelers.
Also boycotting over the BLM logos stenciled on the mounds. That is a racist organization that devalues the life of other races.
I make millions a year, and I don’t want to get in trouble with the “woke” crowd, therefore I kneel. Isn’t this what people did in junior high to avoid getting beat up, crowd think.
I think my new favorite sport is Australian Rules Football.
They are back, playing before small socially distanced crowds. Have not seen any protests on the field and nobody in the stadium is wearing masks.
I guess masks are only effective against the coronavirus in the Northern Hemisphere.
All the kneelers are demonstrating that THEY HATE America.
That’s what I see.
These filthy pricks have taken the side of Communist who wish the death of the USA.
You can leave with more than $10K but you are supposed to declare it.
Me too. I still haven't gotten over the 2002 World Series. :)
Maybe #IgnoreMLB is more precise than "BoycottMLB" - as card-carrying virtue-seekers, they need to be deprived of the positive affirmation they want.
I just hope fans stick to it. Seems like whenever some outrage happens, people get angry for a while, then forget all about it.
Thought baseball and golf were televised to prove it was possible to keep grass green. . .
Will it go brown when people get tired of all the politics and social stuff by not watching it on TV anymore?
We cut the cox “extra Innings “ yesterday.
Awesome!
Watch the free agent salaries drop like a rock this winter

Unfortunately, this stupidity will probably spread to the minor leagues. Those used to be fun to go to.
