Because players are refusing to play because of the Jacob Blake shooting.
If this goes on more than a day or two I'm going to shut it down, I've had enough.
If baseball wants to politicize this to this degree, they can taking a flying ****.
Twice as many white people get shot by cops every year than black people, nothing ever gets said about that.
I don't want to bring politics into the baseball forum again, but if baseball is going to do this they can kiss my ass.
And no I'm not racist, I've had far more black friends than white friends during my life.
I've just had enough of the lies and BS.

We can talk about how this directly affects the game, and how we will react to it.
I will just ask that no one talks about Dems vs Republicans or whether or not what happened was justified or not.
It's easy to talk about not wanting to see politics brought into baseball
without talking about the politics themselves.
Thanking you in advance,
The management.

I feel bad about bringing it up, I’ve just had enough. It’s funny because there’s so much positive going on in my life, I just don’t need negative political nonsense. I watch sports to get away from it. But if sports are going to insist on being this political, I’m going to move on and focus on what’s going on with me.

Well if it's just one game or something I am not going to get too waffled. There's all sorts of games being played right now, and I don't think it will be like the NBA. |

I haven't watched the NBA in years, but I absolutely refuse to watch it now. I probably can't ever stop watching the Braves, but that's it. I watch the Braves and only the Braves. Screw this political BS and sports. I know it's a tired thing to say at this point, but I watch sports to get away from that crap. Watching a game makes me feel like a kid again. I think we all deserve that.

Politics is cancer. Especially today.

It's 3 hours of the day I don't worry as much. |

This forum is a centralized place for me to come see all the boomers piss and moan.

I think we all feel that sports is an escape and when it ceases to
be an escape we will all pull away from it.

Given the overall circumstances that are going on, I am okay with the teams who did what they felt they had to do.
I will not be upset at all for one night of protests.
I will take a deep breath and look forward to the games being played in the near future. Especially with the yr us Braves fans are having.
This has been a difficult year to get by for citizens all over the world. Some of our fellow world citizens have it much worse than others.
Let us all stay safe, be peaceful & wish for the best for our brothers and sisters who have suffered in Hurricane Laura.

This forum is a centralized place for me to come see all the boomers piss and moan. Seems to be a boomer generation group that are the regulars on this board. I am guessing you are in that group too. I am not sure we have many ladies on this forum at this time. I do feel fortunate my overall health is good for someone my age |

This day in time I do think there is more on today's players to speak up more about the issues of the day. I really do not fault the players for having to say something in front of the mic. So I will be somewhat forgiving even if the athletes get into the issues given there is so much more media, etc in this generation. And these are young people who are still in the process of learning their way through life. Some of them might say something off the wall |

I agree, but my concern is now the NHL cancelled both of their games tonight because they were being criticized for not speaking out enough. It's this constant caving into whiny butthurt vajeens. It needs to stop, and sooner than later, this is ridiculous. LeBron James and one other player voted to cancel the rest of the NBA season. How the hell is this going to solve any problems? It's not, it makes zero sense, it's just to appease some snowflake bitches for a day or two. If baseball shuts down for more than about one more day then I'll spend my time and energy elsewhere. It won't be difficult, I have so much going on. |

I understand that sentiment.
It's insanely stupid, and I personally believe it's mostly empty
vessels attempting to try and convince everyone they have
depth of character by virtue signaling.
When they show up and play ball I will watch them play ball...
other than that I don't care what they have to say.
