MAGATs freaking out over MLB recognizing BLM on fields, uniforms, taking a knee

I’m in the NY Yankee FB group. The MAGATs are having a melt down as players take a knee in solidarity with BLM. It’s all the usual white privilege anger, the threats 😂 to never again watch MLB, etc, etc.

At least it’s going to be a short season.

Poor MAGOTS.

No baseball for them. They can spit shine their AK47s instead.

Went over to the NY Yankees FB page after I saw your post. I was so encouraged to see that 99% of the comments were positive for BLM and openly mocked those having a hissy fit.

I've been thinking that they surely must be freaking out about that but until now hadn't heard anything. I'd expect that they're also freaking to see constant reminders that the virus is real and not a hoax.
