To try and validate the action certainly sounds like an endorsement, yet you think it is justified. Shame on you.

I see your point, as usual. But both are forms of speech, and both were offensive, though to different groups.
If you punish one person for expressing himself in a way that offends someone, you should suspend the other person who does (what in my opinion is) the same thing.
I don't know what action I justified. I don't like what the baseball player said. But if he doesn't have the right to offend Black Lives Matter, why does everyone else have he right to offend veterans? It's that double standard.
