MLB better nip this and Bruce Maxwell in the bud before they find themselves in the same position as the NFL.

It may be spilling over to college. UNC is not going to the WH either. Said they couldn’t get a date that worked for everyone.

Somebody needs to be outta the Bigs.
Baseball should be played in the daylight and the World Serious needs to be done by Sept. 30th.

Another brainless genius heard from. What a worthless Jerkoff.
Fire his ass.
Disrespecting the Country, the fans, and the game that provides him a living.
You want to “protest” the National Anthem, do it on your OWN time and DIME.
Fans should stand and sing the National Anthem EVERYTIME that asshole walks onto the field.
Same goes with the assclowns in the NFL.

I never heard of this Maxwell guy and had to go to several websites searching for pictures. I finally found one where he looks to have a good bit of negro in him but still light enough skin tone to indicate maybe a Caucasian momma. I’m sure some people are proud of him. Being a catcher, he sure has enough experience kneeling.

This bullshit is getting out of control. Someone needs to remind these jerks that they're not there for their intellectual prowess but for their athletic skills.
They are employees of an entertainment enterprise and subject to the whim of the owner of their team.
No State Action, no First Amendment issue.

MLB has until midnight to fix this or I am out. (Sorry, Rangers. It’s been fun.)
If I wanted to watch retards on TV, I would watch MSNBC.

I gave up on almost all sports (professional and otherwise) years and years ago - at least in part because you could see this coming as it was becoming more politicized.
Bread and circuses, bread and circuses.

I don’t really care that he comes from a military family; so do many here who were in the military itself. Why should his family meet?
