FEDIT POLITICS Thread

The Dodgers and now MLB as a whole are supporting the violent marxist group that is bLack lIves mAtter.
Stop consuming the product

 

i hadn't seen anything the last couple of games...i almost don't want to
maybe the American people could sign a protest letter asking them not to play the anthem at games anymore
they aren't worthy

 

The Dodgers players did a video about how the system is rigged against blacks. No evidence of course. Just take them at their word.
The Giants kneeled for the anthem and the league went full SJW on Twitter defending it. "hUman riGhts isN't PoLitICaL"
Also, the LA times had an opinion piece stating we should get rid of the national anthem and replace it with "Lean on Me" or "This land is your land"

This league and culture are not mine.

Let's also not forget that David Price called his teammates "White Sox" for visiting the White House. Imagine if a white player called their teammates "Black Sox" for visiting Obama.

Roberts has run his mouth a few times too.

LGBT night was probably the first sign.
A night celebrating any form of sexuality (hetero included) at a baseball game?

Caving into the culture for social currency.

I am very anti-boycott. But the appetite is simply gone.

 

i watched part of the game last night w mom and it made us both happy for a minute
told her i'd be back to watch tonight and opening night but now i'm not sure
pretty sure she's going to say fuck them and if she does i guess i will too
was really hoping they would avoid this false narrative but i guess its just impossible now w all the major corps caving
it just so outrageous to see people taking this next level and not even a whisper of the honest truth
blacks are killing each other, babies and all in massive numbers
abortion clinics thrive in the inner city and the system encourages fatherless homes
but the police are the issue
idk if watching on tv after the anthem is good enough but we could all just use something else to pay attention to
going to have to have that conversation today

 

They’re just pandering. Sign that big contract and stay in blue homie!

 

Perfectly said.

It made me sad when Roberts and Hill popped off a couple of years ago.
Same when Price was traded here after his racist comments (not saying he is personally a racist but that was John Rocker level in my opinion).

The Dodgers were false idols of my childhood and early adulthood.
Being slightly older, married, focused, and wiser, that idolatry was already fading away.
But this pandemic and unnecessary racial chaos finished the job....
It gave me a taste of life without baseball (and how it goes on)...it helped me hear loud and clear that the Dodgers are just another vessel for radical leftism.
So the sadness I once felt when my team got political didn't really bother me anymore.
I just took some memorabilia off the desk and kept working.
I'm done. And that's okay.

I will always cherish the memories and they may be strong enough to bring me back someday.
But for now, I cannot consume the product if its publicly siding with evil and not one opinion has veered from the one established by BLM and the left. I'd prefer no opinions at all, honestly, but this is where we are.

The only sadness I feel is that the Dodgers were something my dad and I loved to do together.
Same with you and your mom.
There's always something else, I suppose.

I don't expect anyone else to just ditch the blue. But this is just me.

 

Have fun

 

Yeah they do like everyone else's. Too bad cucks kneel for a false narrative. Anyone who really thought they matter would look for the truth and not sjw bullshit

 

Sometimes, admittedly, very rarely, I'm glad I have reached this age, this point might be more to the...uh...point, that I simply don't give a fuck about if they kneel or grab their cocks or each others during the anthem. I can truly say it is irrelevant to me, and the fury of tainted politics and the team's cultural/political posture during the deluge is an insignificant memory.
I will just root for the team, concerned more about the dilution of the most perfect game than give a flying fuck about what Dave Robots believes or says as front man for the team. He should not let his mind wander so...it is very small, and like children, it is dangerous out there for little ones.
I guess it's perception at any given age. What is important at any given stage in one's life. IDK.
I watch the news with my gf...who is very intelligent, very opinionated, very vocal about current events, still very much in the corporate world. There's little she does not comment on, passionately. And I know it's genuine, from the bleeding heart, one might say. And that's good for her. Bravo.
I respond politely, because that's what old men do who were brought up by an English mom...
But, speaking straight and true...I have an attention span like a lightning bolt about it all.
And the best thing about all of it: I honestly have no need to be right.
Finally...I realize the absolute brilliance of the expression "whatEVER".

 

At the end of the day, both of us "don't care".
You don't care what the players think but do care about the outcome of the games. That's cool. I don't care what the players think anymore either. I also don't care if the Dodgers go 0-60 this season.

If anything I care less than you. So I see your whatEVER and raise you a whoFuckingCares!?

 

You're probably right.

 

i hear what you're saying loud and clear
the issue is this
blm doesn't give a fuck about all the black kids dying in the inner cities or slaughtered in abortion clinics
i care about all lives and when i see random gunfire picking off babies and children it fucking pisses me off
that isn't about cops that's about wayward impoverished youth that don't have a father figure in 70% of their homes
that's about families of 10 pumped out for more welfare money that no one gives a fuck about
there's a real sickness and a real disease but instead of addressing that we're funneling millions to a marxist group
have you seen what's actually being condoned on the streets in the name of this fake cause?
people are being beaten, stores looted and neighborhoods held hostage
the poorest of the poor are going to be the ones that pay the biggest price in life and limb when cops won't go to those neighborhoods
blm doesn't even begin to address and of this core problem
blame the police and whitey needs to take a knee and send reparations
you can say whatever and maybe that suits you at this point in your life
i say never cause its a straight up lie
i support black lives like every other life that wants to make it home for a meal
but black people are going to need to change this on their own
i imagine large numbers of them are sick to death and see this for what it is
the radical left using them and marching them to slaughter
tell me again what all this rioting has to do w black lives?
as far as baseball goes i made a deal w mom and if the game starts at 7:10 we'll tune in at 7:15 and i'll never spend another dime on this product
cause they drank the kool aid like the rest of y'all
