MLB players at the first game of the season all kneeled before the National Anthem played tonight:

The fact that it was before the National Anthem isn’t making much difference to people, who hate seeing politics infest their favorite sport:
I should be watching baseball but, hey @MLB, if you’re gonna make it political, I’m out. All I want to do is watch the great deGrom, but if you’re gonna make lefty political messaging the price tag, I can find other stuff to do. I’ll miss you.

It's time for those who support our brave law enforcement officers and who love the United States to end all support for Major League Baseball.
They are not kneeling in support of #BLM.
They are kneeling before BLM, embracing their Neo-Marxist agenda to destroy this nation. https://t.co/LBpUW0Pupp

The MLB might as well go ahead and officially reverse their letters to BLM.
