A lot of players are from the Dominican Republic. They are grateful for getting the opportunity to play, and from what I’ve seen, most of them are good people.
I dare say it’s had to find anyone in sports more class these days than the Rangers’ Adrian Beltre.
Proves he’s just a regular guy.
I don’t think he’s very impressed with the title. He just wanted the legal right to get some stuff done.
Screw them.
White man’s sport??? They need to come to a Seattle Mariners’ game. Very few “white” players; mostly hispanics from the Caribbean, Central and South America.
However, there are fewer and fewer American blacks in the bigs. They prefer basket ball. There are tons of blacksT from the Caribbean, but that doesn't count in some minds.
I am sure the left will turn this “disparity” of American blacks into a white privilege issue.
A slight variation of “I wish Trump would stop tweeting”.
Or he makes me clutch my pearls and pass out!
You are an idiot.
Go back to the Huffington Post.
LOL at leftists calling MLB a “White Man’s Sport” the majority of baseball players are Dominican..guess that is considered white to liberal standards..let them try and ruin ANOTHER sport they have ruined everything else..what next, Hockey
Curry wasn’t going to go anywhere..they play for Golden State, a leftist area, if they had gone they would have been bashed by their fan base..I never understood why football players and basketball players get invited to the White House anyway..for what, for winning a championship game..WHO CARES..its a city celebration not a national one
Insults instead of dialog? Huh... that’s what the Left does.
Just for the record, this is what Trump just tweeted:
“If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL,or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect....(2nd tweet) our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem. If not, YOU’RE FIRED. Find something else to do!”
Much better.
Or screamed 'gays are perverts' at the top of their lungs?
Does anyone here think THAT (perfectly legal but offensive 'freedom of speech') would be tolerated by the sports world? NOT FOR A MINUTE...
Seems the sports world is telling traditional Americans something... something ugly and mean - and we need to stand up to them, turn our backs and walk away ... forever. The player or players would be fired on the spot.
It's OK IN the NFL PLAYBOOK TO GIVE THE FINGER' to the country but NOT OK TO GIVE THE FINGER TO MEMBERS OF DEMOCRAT PROTECTED VICTIM GROUPS.
“What would happen if a white NFL player stood up and yelled the “N” word (Nigger) during the national anthem?”
I’ll go one better. What if the player didn’t wear pink shoe laces for breast cancer awareness month?
Reflect on this: What would happen if a white player stood up and yelled the “N” word (Nigger) during the national anthem?
Or screamed 'gays are perverts' at the top of their lungs?

The sports world is telling traditional Americans something... something ugly and mean. And for our part, we need to stand up, turn our backs and walk away from them saying. "No, we will not pay to be insulted by white liberal elites who hate us and hate our country..."
with the series right around the corner? go ahead, i dare them
Who cares what they say? I’ve never seen a Leftist at a Baseball game which explains why they think its a “white” sport..........they’ve never seen the huge degree of diversity on these teams. Their real problem is that baseball isn’t entirely dominated by their Cultural Icon, the African-American.
Look at the big brouhaha that was caused by this incident recently. A few idiot drunken fans and you would think that the world was ending.

Go back to the Huffington Post.
Jeese, sensitive much? While I disagree with the "jumping the shark" comment, I dont think he is an idiot for saying such. Can we keep these minor disagreements civil? Especially for a long time freeper...
One reason may be that they have bought the B.S about baseball being a "white man's game". So, they stay away.
