San Francisco Giants pitcher Sam Coonrod refused to kneel during the national anthem Thursday night against the Dodgers.

According to NBC Sports, members of the Giants took a knee during the national anthem, and Coonrod didn’t join them. Every member of both teams also kneeled before the anthem. The pitcher also didn’t participate in that action. The reason why? His Christian faith.



“I’m a Christian, like I said, and I just can’t get on board with a couple of things that I have read about Black Lives Matter. How they lean toward Marxism and they’ve said some negative things about the nuclear family. I just can’t get on board with that,” Coonrod explained to the media, according to the same NBC Sports report.

He also said that he “can’t kneel before anything besides God.”

Good for him.

Maybe the courage of his convictions will help others to realize they're being misled.

There's going to be some really interesting "social experiments" in sports this year...

So will the Giants make Mr. Goonrod apologize as the Steelers did to Alejandro Villanueva?

Ha. Good question.

Drew Brees just went through this.  Hope these guys are ready for the upcoming SJW slime backlash.
