Baseball is veddy, veddy dead to me

"All Yankees and Nationals Players and Coaches Take a Knee Before National Anthem Opening Night".

Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani got this (life-long? former?) Angels fan interested in baseball for the first time in more than a decade. First the "abbreviated schedule" (it's like preseason games that count), and now this nonsense. Without cable TV anymore, I guess I won't know what I'm missing.

That stinks, I liked the Nats, look at them on both knees.
Rat bastids.

I missed sports in April, now? They're making sure I couldn't care less if a plane crashed into the stadium while they were playing.

Fauci cracked me up. Wearing a mask on the mound, then not socially distancing in an empty stadium with his mask below his nose.
That guy needs to be promoted to Man In Charge Of Minot's Elk Population's Health.

I lost interest in pro sports in general, many years ago. Except golf, which I'll also lose interest in, if they start to follow the "woke" path, too. So far they haven't, but that could change, I guess.

Now, I can yawn and say, "I don't care any more what they do".

I gotta believe that golf will be the last sport to get woke. I mean, who the hell's going to want to get grass stains on those nice, pastel-colored pants?

Well, I guess they could have their caddy put a towel on the ground to protect the pants. The whole sport may get cancelled, tho, for being too white. Arguably the best golfer in modern times was/is a black man (well, half black anyway), but I doubt his presence would ward off the cancel culture squad if they decide golf exceeds the allowed whiteness quotient.

Hey, how about if the golfers just have their caddies kneel for them?

What have you got against elk and Minot? Btw, you did mean the animal, not the fraternal order, right?
