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.

Why shouldn't they kneel? They have a right to free speech, they have the right to protest. America isn't a dictatorship yet. They are protesting the murder of African Americans by police brutality.

What you're saying is you won't watch a game because some people who play it care about black people.
