Will the left now attack Major League Baseball players for not kneeling during the American national anthem? They already say that baseball is a "white sport". It's a "white man's game". What will happen now?

I’ll go one better. What if the player didn’t wear pink shoe laces for breast cancer awareness month?

Or, didn't want a pink mouth guard. Those things makes it look like the guy is sucking on a pacifier. I really hate the Breast Cancer Awareness month, forcing every player in every sport to wear something pink. I'm a woman, and I don't wear pink. Some 300 lb. black man with a pink mouth guard is not going to make me think about breast cancer any more than I do. It only makes me feel sorry for these men who are forced (I am sure) to wear this crap. Why couldn't they just stop with a pink ribbon on the jersey and leave it at that?

Minor leagues.

A player drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers (for example) could expect to spend four seasons at places like Helena, Montana, Appleton, Wisconsin, suburban Raleigh, NC, Biloxi, MS and Colorado Springs.

Compare to up to five years treated as a god on a college campus before the NFL or NBA.

Trump may very well have ‘jumped the shark’ in tweeting about Curry this morning.

Wrong! It's President Trump who entices the usual suspects to take the jump!

You will never see a hockey player take a knee. If one did the refs would turn their backs and let a player “take care of it”.

My guess is that if the leftist go after the National Anthem at MLB games, the fans will temporarily go leftist and pick up the practice of tossing human sacrifices off the upper deck.

It’s 162 games per season. There will be a spot sometime that doesn’t hurt the team’s record for a pitcher to express his opinion of kneeling during the anthem. No other sport has this dynamic. It is why we don’t have celebration dances down to first base after drawing an important walk or elaborate chest slapping displays after making a routine play to get an out at first, where you have this garbage in NFL and NBA. No one likes getting stuck with 90+ mph in the ribs.

Look around at the state of popular culture. There is a reason the NFL is the most popular sport by far, it shouldn’t shock anyone. It only became so vastly huge after this fruity celebration garbage became the norm. It is a complete garbage sport and has been for a while.
