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.

I agree with you, but you are talking about two different organizations. Now if someone in MLB starts refusing to stand for the anthem and they let it slide. then you are correct, that is a double standard.

Again, you are correct, NFL and MLB are different. I was referring to athletics in general, but you got me there

I saw a report that NFL viewership was down 15+% from this time last year - there may be a lot of people voting with their feet clicker.
