Passion for the Pastime: Stand for what is Right

Its ironic that during these times, some say, stand for what is right. What is i told you, by kneeling, it is standing up. Is it a hard concept to grasp. Do people just not want to listen. Bruce Maxwell tried it a few years ago in 2017, and not all but some booed him for it. Now fast forward to 2020, on that very same field, players along with Gabe Kapler, manager of the San Francisco Giants, took a knee to stand up for social inequality and police brutality. Again we have these conversations, because this isn't an overnight fix. In this showing, there are sides for and against. Not all players took a knee, but those who didn't did speak out on why and also stating that doesn't mean there aren't for the cause. It did show unity, it showed that players and managers alike have respect for one another. MLB backed its players, with so much backlash all over social media. To show a strong united front is what the country needs right now. This not the first showing, and it definitely will not be the last. Today I tell you, I am proud to be a baseball fan.
