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.

WALK AWAY from corporate sports!

It is so liberating. Sundays in September and October are beautiful. Take a hike, take a walk, watch little league games.

Every time a career criminal thug gets their ass shot off by the police, they're going to throw a public fit?

Is the end game that blacks are free to engage in criminal behavior with no interference from law enforcement? It seems to me that's what they want.

Good for you! Golf is pretty much the only sport I follow these days, but will stop if the BS starts.

Same here.

The Left have always wanted to destroy sports because it promotes racial harmony and competition.

Quite right; now, they make achieving that result look amazingly easy by scamming a bunch of athletes.

Competition demonstrates we are not all the same, and that with effort one can reach new levels of accomplishment. To the dismay of the Left, competition produces the opposite of "equal outcomes".

Your statement reminds me there was a time not long ago that the California school system attempted to defund intramural sports because "it caused too much stress and interfered with the ability to learn". Yeah, right.

Now announcing "Free Republic Independent Baseball League"

Each state board on FR project manages their portfolio. Each selects cities under RED governance for a charter team. The find potential venues, managers, and schedule a draft for those that went undrafted, or who wish to walk on like the old days of independent baseball.

Out of each state board, a board is chosen, and from therein, a Commissioner.

Concurrently, my good friend Gearbox, who is developing a conservative version of GoFundMe, sets up an account for each team. To pay the bills.

Each state board develops a marketing and acquisition strategy for their team, leaning heavily on patriot groups for talent. All of them.

One of the by-laws in the charter deals with what we are seeing today, and MLB becomes history.

As a former Marine intelligence officer once told me, "The first paper is the point of deviation." Well, there you have your first paper. There is always a capitalist remedy to earthly problems.

They just announced that all the players who walked off the field are volunteering to respond to every 911 call and will do so unarmed. They are so brave.
Yes, this is sarcasm.
