That's the most direct endorsement from a sports league we've seen, I think

Who watches baseball? It is a boring sport.

At least with NBA or NFL, there is constant progression of the game (increasing points or advancing towards goal). With baseball, they literally throw the ball to them and it takes several tries to hit it.

A kind gesture by MLB and it's nice of them to support their athletes in this cause.

What are your thoughts?

Supporting anti American activities is "A kind gesture"?

I think they have the money and the time that if there was something they wanted to do to help the black or any other color community they could. Kneeing in front of the flag during the anthem is nothing more than a way to show how much hatred they have for this country.

Who would have thought that BLM and other myrmidons of the left would be engaging in a love affair with 1%ers, and CEOs of corporate America? 
Now isn't that special.

I agree with the bold. And it's something that I hope every institution making these symbolic gestures is doing. Taking actual action to effect change.

I know that many companies have pledged money/time/resources to causes that help Black Americans and other minorities in the wake of George Floyd's death.

There's a thread on here because some posters want to boycott those companies.

Hopefully MLB does something to get on the list. Besides just allow their players to silently protest.

Unfortunately, this taking a knee crap has been going on for several year and no good has come of it other than grandstanding. Tell me, what has BLM done to help anybody.

Taking the knee was an awareness campaign. One that has worked incredibly well, I'd say.

and lest we forget...the knee wasn't even his idea.

Let me fix that for you.

We just want to consume products and services from companies. We don't want those companies to lecture us on their "values", especially if they are in conflict with ours. We just want to watch motorsports. Shut up and drive.

If the  MLB is  ok with a  player taking a knee for all the unborn being  killed then that would be fair

No knee. Sports set the precedent by complaining about kneeling. Member the football player kneeling for God? I want them to shut up and play.

Do you think their "kind" gestures will ever apply to the children in china? For caring so much, they sure are a bunch of greedy bastards aren't they?
