Ditto.
Just put my Mets shirt, in my drawer, earlier, today.
Now, it will go into the trash.
Let’s DON’T meet the Mets.
:-(
Been a Mets fan since 1968. I even had an autographed picture of Tommie Agee when I was a kid. They were my only hope for something to watch this year but they blew it and MLB blew it to and now Im done with professional sports period. Full stop.
My letter to the Atlanta Braves at the start of the season and their response.
As a longtime fan of the Atlanta Braves and Major League Baseball, I have to draw the line and say enough is enough. Sports and baseball, in particular, were meant as an escape from the world around us. Including diversity, gay rights, and now black lives matter, I will no longer tune in, turn on or purchase any Atlanta Braves items. I paid over $400 in tickets to the last game of the season against the St. Louis Cardinals, plus I spent over $300 in dinner, drinks, and sports paraganglia that night. Consider the fact that I also went to over a dozen games last year, subscribed to MLB TV and actively listened to the Braves on the radio. Now multiply that times 10s of thousands of fans who feel the same way as I do. I hope that it hits you and every team in the pocketbook.
I work too hard for my money to get punched in the face by an organization that I supported for so many decades. Getting rid of the Chop cost the Braves a chance to beat the Cardinals and now you are continuing your losing ways by completely removing it altogether. It may not be an important thing for you, but for fans like me, it most definitely is important.
I pray that none of the Atlanta Braves players kneel during our National Anthem.
—Thank you for reaching out and for your support of the Braves. We will share your feedback with our leadership team and sincerely appreciate you sharing. Our organization has not abandoned the tomahawk chop, and feedback from fans, players, and the Native American community are top of mind while evaluating the game day experience.
Again, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts and will pass them on.
