Actually, neither.  Especially not interested in the anti-American "athletes playing at high speeds and showcasing their athletic ability".

Still four more games against a "good" team (actually a VERY good team, at this point, HOU), before we encounter a nine game stretch against < .500 teams.  But six of those games are on the road.  Angels are five games below .500 on the road this year.

Only 12 of the remaining 29 games are against teams < .500.

Yeah, I'd rather watch 21 year olds knock themselves silly and come down with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a few years, any day.

Future value projection notwithstanding, David Fletcher has produced 1.5 FWAR and the highly touted centerpiece of the Chris Sale trade Yoan Moncada has produced 1.0 in more than twice the playing time.

Here's a few during the US national anthem at Wembley, after which they stood up for "God Save the Queen". 

[Lou]

The only good thing about Angels baseball in september is $3 field seats.  

 

Thanks Arte.  Poor product, low prices.

Yep, his strategy of injuring all of his most talented players didn't pay off did it...

Oh, wait...

Yep, their protest is all about hating America. Good call.

Texas I can understand, but the rest of America? That's just plain silly

Bastards exercising their right to free speech.  Shit like that never happened in NazI Germany.

Totally un-American. Who do they think they are?  Who gave them the right to protest?

Black men kneeling while the white man is standing. Damn that's racist.

An article on the MLB site is reporting that Matt Shoemaker will "pitch" Monday against the Rangers.  Not clear if he will start.

Jesus H. Christ, where do we get some of these posters?

[yk9001]

Just say you don't like black people and be done with it.

seems like london isn't the best place for this kind of protest. i wonder how the british interpreted it? i would imagine to many foreigners it may come off as disrespectful to the american flag.

So what?

[Tank]

So I'm saying it's a misguided plan to protest injustices at home while playing abroad. Their protest is likely lost on that particular audience.

or maybe you totally support the 6 or 7 people who gather and March outside the federal bldg in Westwood on a Tuesday morning protesting gov't farming policies in Croatia.

[yk9001]

Misguided?

We're talking about it a year later.

Is It their right to protest absolutely. Are they pissing off a lot of people absolutely. That includes every single military member that I know personally. Might want to think of another form of protest, instead of disrespecting the men and women who give them the freedom to protest in the first place. 

[OregonLAA]

I don’t know a single military person offended by any of this. Agree with maybe not so much. When Kaep met with a navy seal he asked him to kneel rather than sit down. Kaep did just that out of respect for what the man had to say. Anything after that is people hiding blindly behind their own agenda
