I'm pretty sure the days of Lenny Dykstra, Al Leiter, John Franco and John Rocker ruling baseball with their opinions never happened at all.
lol John Rocker? The guy who said he wouldn't play in NYC due to all the queers, fags, and foreigners? That's not conservatism, that's just straight out being an asshole.lol yes, they are. The days of the Lenny Dykstras, Al Leiters, John Francos and John Rockers of the world ruling baseball with their opinions are over.
Yes, Tim Tebow was famously ousted for his outspoken right wing views while Colin Kaepernick was met with widespread acclaim.Social media, especially in sports and locker rooms won't allow it. Any athlete with a rightwing view will be looked at differently,
Why are you so obsessed with race? I thought this was about conservatism.especially in a locker room that is minority-dominated...
Hm, which of their right-wing views is it that are problematic with minorities? Is it deregulation? Is it lower taxes for the wealthy? Maybe something else?lol yes, they are. The days of the Lenny Dykstras, Al Leiters, John Francos and John Rockers of the world ruling baseball with their opinions are over.

Dykstra is a staunch far rightwinger like Rocker......Conservatism does not equate to racism but far rightism tends to....Dykstra was accused of racism by his teammate Ron Darling:I'm pretty sure the days of Lenny Dykstra, Al Leiter, John Franco and John Rocker ruling baseball with their opinions never happened at all.
Those guys don't approve of kneeling during the US national anthem or distracting from the singing of the anthem....a lot of white athletes are patriotic, or see themselves as that, or were raised to respect the anthem, the flag, etc. since they are American symbols that are sacred.Hm, which of their right-wing views is it that are problematic with minorities?

Leiter is a staunch Republican and many people in Tennessee, Florida, New York and New Jersey have approached him asking him to run for U.S. Senate, a House seat or Governor. He smartly declined and donates to Republicans regularly....celebrities have numerous homes all over the place, like Herschel Walker, so it makes it hard for them to settle.
Al Leiter, U.S. Senator (R-NJ): Really? No, but Mets fan Chris Christie could make it happen
Al Leiter won 162 games in a 19-year career spent largely with the Mets and Yankees. (AP) In the wake of the Monday passing of Democratic New Jersey Senatorwww.si.com
IN PERSON; G.O.P. Likes the Look Of a Veteran Lefty (Published 2005)
AL LEITER is good. Ask him about his aspirations beyond baseball and he will tell you he is keeping his options open, that he is intrigued by the political process and that he is flattered that anyone would consider him a potential candidate for office in the State of New Jersey. It's a smooth...www.nytimes.com
Franco is a patriotic guy, he has a very polished image as a working-poor Brooklynite who doesn't forget where he came from, he came from public housing, but worked his way up to be a good reliever pitcher for the Mets who went to the playoffs in 1999 and 2000......he played pretty well in the 2000 World Series....

In the eyes of some rightwingers yes...TIL minorities can't be patriotic.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
Baseball is historically conservative-leaning, that was my point. Probably one of the reasons why baseball has fallen out of the cultural conscience since the '94 strike....despite the fact that MLB's player demographic fits America's future demographic: more Latino-dominated....All those little factoids have absolutely nothing to do with any of them ruling baseball with their opinions in the past. .
More likely because it's boring and stupid. Much like you!Baseball is historically conservative-leaning, that was my point.

Haha, good one....I'm far from stupid thoMore likely because it's boring and stupid. Much like you!
The evidence at hand does not corroborate your statement.Haha, good one....I'm far from stupid tho
I believe he meant that stupid is far too high of a bar for him to clear.The evidence at hand does not corroborate your statement.
Then don’t be racist. Nobody will talk shit about a player who wants tax cuts for the rich they will just disagree with them for being self interestedlol yes, they are.

These same white patriotic athletes are cool with trashing our POWs just because they were captured.Those guys don't approve of kneeling during the US national anthem or distracting from the singing of the anthem....a lot of white athletes are patriotic, or see themselves as that, or were raised to respect the anthem, the flag, etc. since they are American symbols that are sacred.
Boomer would win George Santos' House seat if he wanted to, most likely as an Independent, he claims to be an Independent, but he is right-leaning....But what does Boomer think?
