>>>> ... but we also respect the flag and the national anthem as a team
Whatever. Eventually no sports will be able to escape making political statements anywhere/every where. Fouling up sports, society every chance they get.
Really a shame that people don't know the concept of boundary.

Wait. So, now STANDING for The National Anthem is an expression of honor?

Did anyone, by chance, scratch their ball sack. Sheeeeesh.

People watch sports as a diversion from the “noise” of everyday life. They don’t want to be lectured to by a bunch of self-righteous virtue signalling players and team management.
The people in these organizations live in a bubble that’s about to pop.

Standing for the flag and anthem is an imperative. Whatever else these “compassionate/caring/nuturing/sensitive men” want to do to show how compassionate/caring/nurturing/sensitive baseball players they are is of little interest to me.

the team figures out a way to show support for social justice following the death of George Floyd ....
We are busy figuring out a way to show our opposition to anti-white racism in our institutions, including MLB...

Waaaaiiiit a minute. How do we know some of those guys aren’t honoring David Dorn?

Unless I missed something, is it not sad that it is news a pro sports team stands for the national Anthem?

There's bound to be repercussions for this shameful display!
I mean look at that - white, brown, and black team members, standing in harmony and solidarity, showing respect for flag and country!
Dox them! Take their team's name away from them! Call up the bimbos and lawyers to accuse them, out them! Who do they think they are, anyway?
Americans?

They stood for the anthem with their hands over their hearts, which is more than a lot of fans do. That's good enough for me to keep watching the Tribe.
But if the Browns all kneel as it seems they will, I'm done with them.

Putting hand on your heart and standing shows support for the National Anthem.

What about all the victims of riots, looting, knockout, etc.? Many are dead because of it. That’s why the political slogan of BLM is an oxy moron.

Yeah, but did all of the black athletes sit in the back of the third bus behind the “colored” sign?

they can destroy baseball as easily as the other sports have done to themselves.
