I take issue with some of the thoughts in that Fox article. Here's the critical paragraph:

[I]But I also think it’s fair to ask what would help our fractured country more right now? Bashing the police they count on to protect the stadiums where they earn millions to play a children’s game? Or giving us back a desperately needed piece of common culture?[/I]

It's a mischaracterization at best, and inaccurate judgment at worst, to equate the act of players kneeling to "bashing" the police. I can't really take the opinion writer seriously if they claim they don't want politics and division if in order to state their reasons why they have to sensationalize their reasons.

Also, what's the purpose in him making the comment about earning "millions to play a children's game?" The occupations of the people within MLB have no bearing on their freedoms to protest or have a voice. That statement has a bit of that "shut up and dribble" undertone. I do not like it one bit.
