Nothing peaceful about supporting a hate group that burns and kills. How many of the overpaid ballplayers probably have contributed money thats paid to send pro rioters to different cities? Americas pasttime is now a disgrace. A rational person can seperate support for a concept that Black lives do matter, from a hate group that is capitolizing on that concept. For example I believe animals should be treated humanely (including hunting, trapping and responsible pet ownership) but that does not mean I support the Humane Society.

Well the MLB demonstration of support that Black Lives Matter did not turn into a riot with burning buildings, looting and calling for defunding police. This was an example of true peaceful demonstration. You don't have to agree with everything BLM stands for but should be able to tolerate freedom of speach by peacefull demonstration, and respect for the flag by standing for the anthem. Play ball! Blm means the same to the white man as the kkk means to the black man.

I'm confused. Everyone is upset, and rightfully so, that the media is calling the rioting, looting, tearing down monuments and assults on police officers "peaceful protesting". I think most of us support the first ammendment right to free speech which includes peaceful protesting, up to the point when things turn violent. But now when we have an actual peaceful protest are we all supposed to be upset about that to? I think most people who are upset are mad at the MLB organization for providing a platform for the protest.

If they were protesting a law that was restricting them while providing others an advantage, I’d be right their with them however, they protest because their poor decisions have placed them in a box that requires hard work and commitment to get out of. They want a do over without consequences and they want someone else to pick up the tab.

That is exactly how I feel K Snow. They don't make much bigger baseball fans than me, but I turned the TV off after the first 5 minutes and refused to watch. I turned it on to watch ball and listen to player stats and stories, not that horsecrap. Same goes for the covid stuff. If I wanted to see that garbage, I'd just watch the news. Oh well, I stopped watching football after the kneeling during the anthem and all the hoopla during the games, and it looks like baseball is next. I'm hoping they get back to baseball after these first few days cuz last night was strike one for me. Took the words right out of my keyboard. I don't like the Dodgers but I was going to watch last night just because I like watching baseball but I too changed the channel after just a minute of that.

They have a right to a peaceful protest, but they are promoting a terrorist organization in the process. Viewers have the right to turn them off too.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

They made it easy for me to spend my spare time doing something useful and productive rather than glued to the tv.
