Like so much else about Trumpism and Trump himself, that talking point turned out to be as substantive as a bag of fart.
Until the umpire says âPlay ballâ

Close (to seeing your point), but they make announcements over the PA regarding behavior in the stadium, including asking people to stand for the anthem, all before the umpire says âplay ballâ.
So wrong.
But you can still have your opinion. Iâll have mine.
People should get up off their knees. They look ridiculous.

Guidelines, not rules. âAsking.â
If you donât like kneelers, close your eyes. No one is holding those eyelids open.

No one is making me watch or support anything.
Why does it matter to you??
PurpnGold: ohknow35:I hope the players are consistent and show the same amount of respect to the canadian flag and national anthem when the blue jays are allowed to play in our country.
canada also has a legacy of slavery, and is one of the worst countries in the modern world regarding human trafficking, and they also stole more land from indigenous people than any other country in the world.
The Orioles could kneel for the entire game and the result would be no different than if they had played.
BTW, in this game, they knelt BEFORE the anthem
but well after everyone purchased the tickets and are seated in the stadium
How many people purchased tickets and were seated at the stadium exactly?
it doesnât. Iâm simply laying out a few more options beyond whining about it.
i tune in or attend to watch sports. not pathetic politics
Do you turn off the TV when there is a military fly by?
Not using that time to projecte your idiot pet causes
Not surprised that civil rights issues are considered âidiot pet causesâ by some conservatives.
Pretty sad though.

Who is whining??
I missed the first 100 scheduled games.
No whining then either.
I did miss it though.

I said âcausesâ.
Are we subject to the whims of every idiot thought a player has running through their head, or just ones you think they should be promoting??
Who makes that call??
Now that professional sports has become a propaganda tool for politics, Iâll need to find something more productive to do.
Is tying sports to the military a form of propaganda?
Sounds more like the free market and at-will employment doing what they do best.
yeah i know AOC leading boycotts because she hates the president is the âfree marketâ
thinkingman:i tune in or attend to watch sports. not pathetic politics
Do you turn off the TV when there is a military fly by?
no. but i dont watch much sports on tv
how is a military flyby related to players going on little missions from god to make hackneyed political statements?
Why does it bother you that people want to bring attention to police brutality in this country?
Who is whining??
Whining about kneeling? You tell me-who is whining about that, and apparently being forced to watch it as part of the ticket price?
I donât find their kneeling to be disrespectful to our flag or nation like in the previous cases.
Now itâs just the cause they are supporting thatâs disrespectful to our nation. Which is still within their rights to support if they wish. Just like others are free to not be happy with their choice.
I understand the need to try to deflect away to AOC instead of capitalist free-enterprise businesses acting in what they see as their best interest. You called that fascism, when itâs actually just a consequence of at-will, free market employment.
yeah i know AOC leading boycottsâŚ
Do those boycotts look anything like a sitting president sending his VP to a NFL game and ordering him to leave if someone kneels?

They have a voice. Players get interviewed all the time.
