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.

Then both teams walked off the field, leaving only a Black Lives Matter t-shirt covering home plate.

This comes one day after three MLB games and all NBA playoff games were postponed as players across sports came together to call for racial justice.

Price of bread is supposed to skyrocket and the circuses have been Corona-cancelled.

This won’t end well for many a Governor Nero.

If a baseball team walks off the field and only cardboard cutouts are there to see it, does it make any noise?

Disgusting. Just another American institution the leftists have destroyed. A pox on them and any idiot who follows them.

I hope all these stupid jocks end up cleaning toilets somewhere for the rest of their days and occasionally wonder why they destroyed their own profession.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I’ll never forget the day i told an employer i had built an idiot proof weld fixture, he looked up at me and said, don’t get excited they build a better idiot every day and history did indeed prove him correct.

I agree, and baseball is about as “America” as it gets.


It was but that train left the station long ago. It’s now 30% Hispanic and has relatively few American black players. It’s solidly the 3rd sport in the US after the NFL and NBA. We really have a big two of pro sports now. All the other sports are secondary. Only baseballs long season keeps their revenue up.
