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.

Every time a career criminal thug gets their ass shot off by the police, they're going to throw a public fit? Not a good strategy for the long term health of their organization.

I hope the day comes that every corporation who donated to BtLMm are fined 6x the contribution amount to pay for riot damage.

I blame the owners. They are wimps or corrupt, maybe both.

On a baseball thread:

"Fools, all of them, fools! I spit a giant lugy on them."

I’m not woke enough to understand the significance of 42 seconds.

I think it's a reference to Jackie Robinson's uniform number.

Did they also donate their pay to some charitable cause or did they keep it in their deep pockets? They are both hypocritical and dumb.

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

Vote with your wallet.

We must. For those of us who are Caucasian, they are declaring overt war on us. Not one more dime - ever.

I hope a lot of these players have career-ending injuries. F em all.

If you have to put a color in front of Lives Matter, then YOU are the racist!
