Baseball legend Hank Aaron said he won't watch any NFL games this season because of how the league treated former quarterback Colin Kaepernick after Kaepernick's national anthem protest last season drew widespread scrutiny.

Retire Babe Ruth’s number. He did as much for baseball as any other player. And none can match his stats as a pitcher/player.

Well Mr Aaron, I stopped watching because Colin is disrespecting our flag on national television.

He’s free to do what he wants on his free time. While he’s on the job, he should follow the rules of the job. The rest of have to as well.

He’s been a whiny race baiter for a while.

Never enable black people.

Tell how dumb their Democrat, communist opinions are nonsense that hurts their children. Why do you want to hurt your children?

They want privilege. The receive idiocy.

Get them into name calling phase so those blacks can begin griefing stupidity. The Anti-Whities must be nudged into their discomfort zone. Speak loudly.

The NAALCP will be wanting to take credit for what started as patriots tuning out the NFL.This year will be a bigger drop in viewership without them

George Herman "Babe" Ruth Jr's #3 was retired by the New York Yankees on June 13, 1948.

You quoted me but you didn't read what I said. I called Aaron the greatest hr hitter in my life time. Not of all time. That would be G.H. (Babe) Ruth. I was born in 1954.

Aaron’s HR/AB ratio doesn’t put him in the top 20.

If Hank Aaron had batted .202 with 3 home runs and 22 RBIs over his previous three years would he expect some team to sign him to a big contract once he walked away from the Braves?

[jetson]

I thought pro ball was about playing well and collecting big bucks.

(”Ya could look it up!”) - interesting, I will...

I was speaking about all of baseball not just one team.

PS: I knew his number with Yankees had been retired. Fan of theirs since the 60's when I was a kid.

Thanks for clarification. I’m a little younger, was a huge NYY fan, especially in the last of their glory years, the late 70’s, but became disillusioned with all MLB after the second strike and the canceled World Series.

yes....a very bitter hitter. :)
