A bunch of America-hating cowards on the San Francisco Giants baseball team disrespected the United States of America by taking a knee during the national anthem.
A number of the players dropped to a knee as the “Star-Spangled Banner” echoed through the empty baseball stadium.
Giants manager Gabe Kapler told CBS why he joined his players in spitting on America.
“I wanted them to know that I wasn’t pleased with the way our country has handled police brutality and I told them I wanted to amplify their voices and I wanted to amplify the voice of the Black community and marginalized communities as well,” Kapler said. “So I told them that I wanted to use my platform to demonstrate my dissatisfaction with the way we’ve handled racism in our country. I wanted to demonstrate my dissatisfaction with our clear systemic racism in our country and I wanted them to know that they got to make their own decisions and we would respect and support those decisions. I wanted them to feel safe in speaking up.”
