And MLB promotes players to wear BDU-themed uniforms-- military camo-- jingoism-- to fuse sports and war.

"God Bless America" -- made famous by notorious racist Kate Smith-- was sung during the seventh-inning stretch at every major league ballpark for a full season following the 9/11 attacks.

Nota Bene: Kate Smith wrote "That's Why ------- Were Born" (1931) and "---------- Heaven" (1933).

The NFL does the same, fusing sports and war, and it's insidious PSYOP -- war-mongering -- being perpetrated on the American public.

Finally, the scales have fallen from my eyes. I see clearly now what was before obscured.
Liberals support hateful things because they are.

It's a shame your mom didn't take it in the rear more often.

She could have done her part to prevent your birth.

John Savage: Obviously you are just a troll. But that does not preclude the fact that you obviously need serious psychological help. Your hatred and disgust is a big flashing red light of mental illness.

I don't really care about the opinions of sport players in general, one way or the other. Being willing to poison your body with steroids does not make you smarter or make your opinions wiser or more valid.

Do you think that being able to swing a bat with inhuman strength (or throw a ball at inhuman speed) for some reason means their opinions should carry more weight? Why?
