Yet some players, including two Yankees - Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Hicks - say they’ll kneel for the anthem throughout the season. MLB has tried its best to allow space for kneeling outside of the anthem. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has pointed out, patriotic slogans, let alone ones critical of rights abuses in China - the NBA’s oppressive business partner - are not options.
The NBA is positively encouraging such ideological posturing, allowing players to wear slogans like “Black Lives Matter” on their uniforms, which are also an option for Major League Baseball players.

Sports providing cover for Black Lives Matter's full picture In the upcoming NFL season, it isn’t clear if anyone in the league will stand for the anthem, especially after New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was beaten like a piñata for having the temerity to defend our national emblems.
That’s how fast radicalism can shift corporate culture. But the ability of the BLM movement to use the George Floyd killing to mainstream its beliefs has now made people like Coonrod the outliers.

The blowback from fans led to lower TV ratings for NFL games that made it clear that his gesture was deeply unpopular. What a dramatic change from where we were in 2016, when Kaepernick started kneeling and other players joined in. But this story also illustrates the way the sports industry has been intimidated into bending the knee to a movement whose purpose goes far beyond concerns about police misconduct. But for voicing out loud what many daren’t say, he was pilloried as a “false Christian,” who is “swimming against the tide of history” (NBC Sports) and who stands “out like a sore thumb” (Sports Illustrated).īut wait, wasn’t Kaepernick lionized for standing on principle and conscience? It appears freedom of conscience is only praiseworthy when it is employed on behalf of fashionable leftist causes, not traditional faith and patriotism. While BLM has an innocuous name, its agenda would tear down US history as well as the rule of law. He was mocked for having spoken of his Christian faith, his opposition to kneeling to anything but God and questioning BLM’s radical ideology.Ĭoonrod was right. But as far as many sports scribes and pundits are concerned, he doesn’t believe in the right things. Meanwhile, Coonrod - the sole player on any team who didn’t kneel during a tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement before the playing of the anthem on Opening Day - also believes in something. Nike’s “Believe in something” marketing campaign transformed him into a cultural hero. He was a backup when he began his campaign, but due to the overwhelmingly positive coverage of his gesture - which he said was a protest against racism - he managed the kind of financial reward only a few stars get after they stop playing. He landed more big bucks when the league settled a lawsuit with him because no team wanted him. Kaepernick received a multimillion-dollar endorsement contract from the sports-gear company for starting the trend of NFL players kneeling rather than standing at attention during the national anthem. Unlike former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, the pitcher for that city’s baseball Giants isn’t going to be rewarded for taking a lonely, principled stand.
