Yankees, Nationals take a knee, then stand for national anthem at baseball season opener
By Zack Budryk - 07/23/20 08:37 PM EDT



Every player and coach took a knee before the national anthem on Thursday’s Opening Day game between the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals in support of the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

Each of the teams knelt beside one another with the appropriate social distance between each player while holding a long black cloth. When they knelt, a clip of actor Morgan Freeman speaking about social injustice played over the loud speakers.

The players and coaches then stood for the anthem itself at the Washington, D.C., game Thursday, played in an empty Nationals Park due to the coronavirus pandemic.

And just what part of he "Black Lives Matter" movement would they be supporting?? Never in this country should one color matter more than another.  Do these people honestly believe they are the only ones who have been treated unjustly?? Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. I am sick and tired of this BS.

Fauci threw the first pitch (if you can call it that - it was headed about 15 feet down the first base line), and then sat in the stands violating the mask rules.

The sense of awareness, of propriety, of example, is totally absent from the proselytizing doctor is amazing.
