Kaepernick cancer has spread to baseball now

Kaepernicking comes to baseball.  I'm thinking this guy is some backup scrub for the A's, the Giants post game show said he was some rookie.

Oakland A's catcher Bruce Maxwell first MLB player to kneel during national anthem

Published 9:18 p.m. ET Sept. 23, 2017

Major League Baseball, the sport of Jackie Robinson and long ago a touchstone of civil rights, saw its first athlete join the movement started by Colin Kaepernick and inflamed this weekend by President Trump.

Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell, who hinted at such an action earlier in the day, knelt during the national anthem before Saturday night's 1-0 win over the Texas Rangers.

I hope some cancer organization calls him a shitty role model for stuffing his face with all that dirt leaf.

Stupid idiot liberal.

Did you even read the article?

If so, I'll play along.

I dont even care about the kneeling anymore thanks to President Trump.

He made that entire movement meaningless because before he said something, most of them kept silent...

Trump > Kaeperdick

I was really hoping Snakeeyes was ready to have a discussion rather than revert to his old ways of posting links he doesn't read.

Did Tebow kneel during the national anthem? I'm asking because I really don't know. If I remember right he kneeled after the game in a thankful manner (cause whitie, obviously.). Not surprised that Snake or The Post missed the fact that there isn't much parallel between the two.

And all of a sudden Snake doesn't mock Christianity because he thinks it helps him make a point or some shit. Maybe he has turned a leaf or something.

I think Trump is sort of trolling them.  "Hey more of you a-holes do this" is how the NFL malcontents are seeing this.  So far they've swallowed Trumps load errrrr bait and are pissing off more fans.  I just heard Jim Gray say about 70% of the NFL fans are against the protests / kneeling.  Way to piss off your fan base.  The NFL will become a shell of it's former self.

look. the problem to be solved is the inability of black (sorry if that's not the right noun) people to be able to gain good jobs and respect in our society. i don't know if keapernick's method is the proper avenue. i sure as hell don't support trump's comments. they were just causing more problems. we need a leader who can address the problems without pissing off everyone. a congressman, a pastor, freaking somebody needs to send a CLEAR message to get all of us together. just my opinion.

I thought Trump did send a good message.  The malcontents should knock their shit off or if they don't the owners should grow a pair and fire their asses (most NFL contracts are not guaranteed).

Tebow did not kneel during the anthem.  He knelt after the game and I think after TD's.

Tebow wasn't bitching about commie shit. 

[testudo]

Snake seems to think this article makes some kind of pwnt point...

Tebow did not kneel during the anthem.

Both of Kaepernik and Tebow are very devout Christains. 

Drops mike.   Hurrr Durrrrrr....

I don't think I'm out of bounds by saying Snake is getting worse.   If that's even possible.  I can't even fathom how he walks around life,  teaching high school,  carrying around this level of stupidity.     

He's Shoe-in for back-to-back tard of the year.

Which says a lot for his efficiency.   He hardly logs in anymore,  but it just goes to show it's all about quality, not quantity here.

damn testes, i thought i won tard of the year last. maybe it was in my dreams, yet irrelevant. your comments are as usual, SHIT. you brought up 0 relevant points pro or con about the problems at hand. the problems: 1) kneeling during the national anthem...and all i will address for now. see my previous post about black people not being able to equal gain status and respectability with all other people.

some can say they are not trying, OR are they not given a REAL chance. wanna change places with them??? just asking...  f
