Before the Giants faced the Reds on Friday in Cincinnati, San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler told reporters he didn’t plan on coming onto the field for the national anthem after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting at a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, just three days ago.
Kapler added that will continue to be his plan until he feels “better about the direction of our country.”
Earlier on Friday, Kapler went to his blog and wrote that he “felt like a coward” for standing during the national anthem prior to his team’s game against the Mets on Wednesday in San Francisco, which took place a day after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

The direction will change for sure and soon. It’s an exponential decline.

Maybe he can live in North Korea or Iran or China, after all people there are supposedly happy and disarmed.

In a different time, people would stand in reverence to the flag and anthem as Americans because there had been a tragedy. But not in this ignorant disgusting culture created by the left.

He felt like a coward standing for the anthem.
Now he proved he’s not a coward, he’s a stupid pos.
His ilk runs the country and his ilk committed this mass murder, though he’s too much of an ahole to admit it.
