“It may be spilling over to college.”
Soon it will spill over to Congress. Watch for black caucasians and white leftists kneel next time the national anthem is played there. Solidarity, you know...
Five years from now Kraperdick will be nominated for sainthood.
And here I thought my refuge from all this political sports crap was baseball. Now, those “sons of bitches” have joined in. The hell with them all!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s times like this I wish I was the owner. I would have called down to Bob Melvin and said, “Have security escort that bum out of the stadium. He is released as of this moment!”
“F- you, Melvin! I got a right to protest!”
“Not in that uniform. Not on this field. You can protest out in the streets but not when you represent the Oakland A’s!”
I can dream. Meanwhile, I was too pissed to watch the game. It’s okay, because the end result was my team limping its way out of the wild card discussion.
For MLB it will be worse. Their contracts are guaranteed.
Bring the players off the field for the Anthem. It’s the best solution because no one will like it.
College basketball plays the Anthem while the players are in the locker room.
That has serious tagline potential.
I'm really surprised that hasn't been done yet.
Hey ! I never knew there were try outs !!
Where's the sign up sheet ?
I know one of the Stanford choristers who performed the anthem at the As game on Friday. I haven’t heard what the young men thought of the disrespectful display, but I can’t imagine they were happy about it.
It’s not cultural suicide, in this age of globalist progressive activism it is cultural murder. Anything and everything to destroy America.
Football, baseball, American exceptionalism in anything is a target.
Treason is the fashion of the day in leftist circles.
Lightman, you and humblegunner remind every man of their ex-wife.
Yeah, but at least you knew it was all phony! Not like these millionaire future prison inmates.
Good point.
I’m starting to think those involved would rather this controversy not go away.
There is only a week left in the regular season and Oakland is not making the playoffs, so they probably won’t do anything about it for the moment. Let’s see what they do in the offseason.
They should release him, or at the very LEAST outright him off the 40-man roster.
MLB better step on this crap right quick, or they’ll end up in the Krapper along with Krappernick and the NFL.
