They insult the people who respect standing for the anthem. Also, they mock those who believe kneeling is for humility before our Creator. And, I suspect, many are dishonoring their own parents that did not teach rebellious disrespect. REPENT!
LOL. I quit baseball after the ‘strike’ in the 80s (?). They can go suck it.
They can do the typical ‘rat support groupie thing.
Players go to other league’s games. Get that big money in circulation.
I have developed an interest in cricket lately...fills the NFL hole when I quit watching 3 years ago (Australian cricket season coincides with US football season), and now perhaps the MLB hole (UK cricket). There are cricket matches played in a local park and we stop and watch once in awhile. Also, college baseball in still an interest of the wife and I....season tickets to the local college team for years.
A couple of sources of Cricket on TV for the USA:

I won’t be watching baseball this year, or ever.
In the last few years MLB picked up ex NFL fans who left it because they were sick of the kneeling and other crap like it. I wonder what morons decided that MLB had fans to burn.
Goodbye major league baseball.
BOYCOTT MLB!!
BOYCOTT MLB!!
Starve the beast.
Major League Baseball came out in defense of players who knelt during the national anthem on Monday evening, taking on critics and tweeting in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
As Breitbart News reported, several members of the San Francisco Giants took a knee during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner during a preseason game hosted by the Oakland Athletics before an empty stadium filled with cardboard cutouts.
The Giants proudly tweeted out the protest:

The league is set to launch a 60-game season later this week, shortened because of the coronavirus pandemic. Games will be played before empty stadiums, and several rule changes have been adopted for players’ safety.
I gave up baseball after the second strike. My decision was cemented when Yankee Stadium was bulldozed for a “new” Yankee Stadium. Sacrilege.
Football was next. One simply does not “kneel” during the playing of our National Anthem. Period.
NASCAR has been on my personal “critical list” for a long time. The racing is boring. The top drivers are whiny little kids who’s personalities negate their skills.
Since the garage door pull incident, NASCAR is dead to me.
I am still interested in our local minor league baseball team, but not to the point where I’d actually attend a game.
In short, political correctness has destroyed sports for me.
I can just as easily read a book as watch a sporting event on TV. Reading is more beneficial, as I learn something in the process.
Good-bye, sports.
I totally agree but the citizens of these cities voted overwhelmingly to do it!!!
Nice way to kill an already virtually dead sport.
Baseball has been officially ruined now. What’s left? Hockey???

Well, Bye!
I disagree.
