The responses by MLB found in the Breitbart article are those of someone who has no knowledge of patriotism, the American flag, or military service. These pampered athletes and their marketers have never served our country, which has paid them excessively well for playing a game.
Eight two years old, a veteran, and a baseball fan for 75 years, I say farewell to America’s game, which no longer represents America.
From a fellow veteran, I agree with you 100%. These spoiled, pompous athletes wouldn’t know the first thing about service to country. I’m about to turn 60. My dad started bringing me to baseball games in 1966. I have loved this game ever since, but it has been ruined.
It’s so sad, but I can definitely find better uses for my time than to watch a bunch of mouthy prima donna millionaires complain about how much injustice they’ve faced, or how oppressed they are.
This obsession with identity politics has ruined so many things. We should remember that the flag and the anthem are important symbols of that which we have in common. We are not hyphenated Americans. We are Americans!
Respect the flag. Respect the anthem. Respect this great country. ALL lives matter!
P.S. Thank you for your service!
