Major League Baseball has announced plans to stencil “Black Lives Matter” on the pitcher’s mound during opening week, beginning with the Washington Nationals and New York Yankees game on Thursday.

“The Nationals, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, stand with the Black Lives Matter movement and will utilize the platform and national stage of Opening Day to express support for the fight against systemic racism and injustice,” the team announced in a statement, according to ESPN.

Tell everyone to not go or purchase ANY pro sport paraphernalia for 1 year... just one year tell everyone to just do something like watch high school or NCAA ball.

All it takes is everyone going ghost for one year. No jerseys, caps, shoes, $15 beer, $300 seats, $100 parking and the cable bulls#t.

Go to twitter and hashtag “#noprosportsnba” , #noprosportsmlb, #noprosportnfl.

let Antifa and BLM buy the seats and encourage the pro athletes that hate you and your country. Realize that any white, hispanic or asian person is held in contempt by the pros unless you bow or kneel to the marxist. I’m not going to..

SPREAD THE WORD

In many cities baseball is a decent draw for locals and tourists alike. Politics and fascism will destroy the sport, as it has destroyed the cities. At least, I have the memory of a place long gone. Oh well, on to something else, not yet effed up.

Now you have me going back a few more days. How about the Gashouse Gang - Dizzy Dean, Leo Durocher, Branch Rickey, Pepper Martin. Jack Buck, Bob Gibson, and Lou Brock.

Did you know that Lou Brock bought the patent rights to the umbrella hat? It was called the Brockabrella.

Nah, Brooklyn Dodgers ‘Da Bums’, ‘Lords of Flatbush’ ‘Boys of Summer’

Pee Wee, Duke, Billy Cox, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson, Skoonj Furrilo, Don Newcombe, Carl Erskine, Johnny Podres, Sandy Koufax etc etc etc

BUT Montreal was the AAA Farm Team...

I agree, do not click on their websites. Deprive them of all revenue sources.

Aubrey Huff and President Trump explain, why I will not be watching any pro sports this season.

Aubrey Huff reacts to San Francisco Giants players kneeling during anthem: ‘I’m Pro America’!

‘I’m proud to not be invited to the San Francisco Giants 10 year World Series reunion’

Huff also responded to a tweet sent out by the Giants.

“#All Lives Matter,” Huff wrote.

TRUMP READY FOR LIVE SPORTS BUT SAYS HE WON’T TUNE IN IF PLAYERS KNEEL DURING NATIONAL ANTHEM: ‘GAME IS OVER FOR ME’!

PS: Kneeling is a particularly inappropriate way to protest the death of George Floyd.

it will be a more accurate metaphor after the game is over and its all shredded and cleated up.

black lives don’t matter at all to black people

why should they matter to anyone else?

I’d rather watch PEEWEE/Pop Warner Games. They have not gotten to corrupt the Kids. Yet...

Anything above that is Corrupted be it Stick and Ball plus noosecar.

I’m sticking with F1 and INDYCAR for now at least.

Black lives only matter when they are snuffed out at the hands of a police officer, and then all that matters is the color of their skin, not the content of their character.

Black infants caught in the crossfire of a driveby, or summarily executed because of a traffic dispute between their dad and a BLM or Antifa soldier, or one of their spoiled brat rich camp followers, their lives don’t matter, not to BLM. Only to parents and grandparents of all colors, who want these “activists” to descend into Hell and burn there, like Korach, another “activist” did.

Just another reason I have hardly watched any major league sports. I used to enjoy auto racing a bit and even certain golf events.

Oh well, don’t need any of it.

I retired my Cardinal hat tonight.

I was thinking about where to get a hat to replace it since I can’t wear a mask and WM can go to hell.

Then I remembered my B-i-L got a Trump 2020 KAG hat earlier this year and left it here. I found it, rinsed the spider webs off it and it is dry now and I will put it where my Cards hat was.
