The Marlins and Mets took the field around 7:10, with Dominic Smith and Billy Hamilton leading the way for New York.

All of the players took their positions, then removed their caps for 42 seconds of silence.

This is very sad. The Left have always wanted to destroy sports because it promotes racial harmony and competition. These players have become pawns.

Liberals destroy everything. These idiots have injected politics into the sport, and have ruined it forever.

There is no going back. They have killed the golden goose.

Who wants to watch sports, just to be lectured at, and brow beaten by liberal woke dreck.

Fools, all of them, fools! I spit a giant lugy on them.
