Lest anyone has forgotten, the cause of the anthem-kneelers is the accusation that America is rampant with racist police officers killing and brutalizing black people without any reason. This is completely false, as all available data shows, but they're not interested in the truth. They're just interested in being woke. And in some cases, they're interested in being victims, which particularly helps when it turns out you're a criminal yourself.
Unlike the NFL, which is overrun with this nonsense, Major League Baseball has been afflicted thus far with only one of these creeps - Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell. Maxwell is not a very good player and most people would never have even heard of him if not for the media's lionization of his knee-taking.
