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.

Ignorance. Pure ignorance. BLM is a marxist front. There is nothing pro-American about them.

Jackie Robinson had more dignity and character in his pinkie finger than does the entire BLM movement.

Walk off the field and keep walking, back to the ghetto the strong power of Capitalism rescued you from.

We don’t need or want you. Go back to your poverty and wallow in it.

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

How stupid can you be. Sports are not exactly a necessity of life. And men will do more grouping up...playing cards, golfing, outings, hunting, fishing...

To: The Toll

The left wins by destroying team sports which have been essential in developing many of the strengths and characteristics critical in developing boys into men. Without heroes and role models to admire and aspire to “without a vision the people perish”.

Once they walk off they can keep walking.

And he had to go through a lot. Look at these folks. No where near what he endured and all players at that time had jobs in off season. What would a Satchel Page say about someone like Lebon.
