They Kneeled... [I Am a Ny Yankees Fan]

I'm 63 years old and have been a fan since February 1964. Attended countless games (lucky me) and watched faithfully for decades.

I live in the United States only because someone fought to get here from Eastern Europe, worked hard and again, lucky me, this is my home.

They kneeled...I can't support that behavior from men playing a child's game, making millions of dollars and crying injustice. They are in a uniform, the same uniform that men went to serve the country in war, defending our Nation and it's beliefs and then came home to play that same game.

I want to support the cause. It has value and deserves support but not during my country's anthem. Too many have died defending my flag, my anthem.

Garbage, my caps, my tees, my jacket...I'm done and I'm sad.

I gave up what marginal interest I had in major league baseball years ago when they went on strike. The current virtue signaling and politicizing has nothing to do with the game and shouldn’t. But it has everything to do with the almighty dollar. And that’s all these teams really care about. So they’ll do what their corporate masters tell them to. I have noticed that many players have a lax regard for wearing masks. My bet is they’ll be coming down with the Coronavirus soon and season over. Will this spell the end of major league sports? Oh of course not. I am sure the Chinese will happily buy them out. And real fans like you? I’m sorry to say they don’t care about you and have not for a long time now.
