Lol, yeah I was joking of course. I wish I had $4 mil! Middle aged, middle class, garden-variety democrat here... better known to many Trump supporters as an unhinged leftist and radical socialist
What they did here is not even close to the same thing. The NFL has become a proactively anti-American organization that enables and promotes aggressively offensive anti-American activities at the start of their games. The do this by intentionally disrespecting our flag and our national anthem, live on worldwide television. For this, they should have their citizenships to this country revoked, at a minimum, and if all was right in the world, much worse.
MLB baseball has allowed a brief ceremony before both the game and the national anthem that honors Black Lives Matter. I am not a supporter of that movement in what it has become, although I do believe that black lives matter, and in fact all lives matter.
However, it has been the case for my entire life that MLB has trotted out different groups before the game to recognize and to welcome, many of which I am and many others scratched our heads and wondered: 'Who are these people and what does this have to do with baseball?" The thing is, this practice has just been a long running and never ending series of P.R. stunts by MLB. The range of groups and individuals that have been included in this practice is so long and so diverse it would be hard to exaggerate. No, everyone does not agree with every group. But MLB has not disrespected our nation, our flag or our national anthem, at least not yet.
We need to pay attention to how MLB has handled this. This is the difference that we should be looking for. MLB has actually handled this remarkably well.
"What they did here is not even close to the same thing" Your OPINION, NOT mine!
Scroo this. There should be no politics in entertainment. It just doesn't belong there.
I want to have a good time and forget about life while watching sports or a movie/TV.
Instead now I get aggravated and it ruins the experience because at this point I have personally boycotted just about everything I previously enjoyed.
