There can be little question that the sports teams are choosing sides in the current political maelstrom. The Earthquakes (until very recently, after I requested that it be removed) were promoting donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund on their website. MFF is the group whose mission is to bail out rioters. Hence, the Quakes tacitly supported rioting. And, for their part, the Sharks have publicly shamed their star player, Logan Couture, on their Twitter account for being sucker-punched in Toronto as a Trump supporter, publicizing his apology for daring to mention that he was physically assaulted for his disfavored political beliefs.

Yet, more than two days later, neither team can muster the moral courage to publicly condemn the vandalism at our mayor’s house last Friday night. This is disgraceful. Neither team deserves our support until they publicly condemn the political violence in their own backyard.

There is going to be a reckoning for the corporate virtual signalers who endorse and support the “Black Lives Matter” agenda.

BLM is not a “black” movement. It is a neo-Marxist movement with a fervently neo-Marxist agenda.

High on the list of BLM’s objectives for society is destruction of the nuclear family.

“Black Lives Matter and the Family”

“The organization’s website says:

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”

America has NOT asked for the destruction of the nuclear family.

Corporate support of Black LIves Matter is corporate support for destruction of the nuclear family and the destruction of western civilization.

NBA, MLS, MBA, NHL, Walmart, Target, Amazon, Cisco, and dozens of dozens of corporate suits who sold out their shareholders, employees, and civilization for a pat on the head and a stroke behind the ears by radical culture warriors are, sooner or later, going to pay a price for their fecklessness and cravenness.

People are NOT racists. People are NOT happy with corporations who recycle the consumer’s dollars into family destruction and indictments of racism of those who pay the bills.

The politicalization of professional sports has definitive consequences. Loss of revenue, viewership, declining ticket sales to name a few is sure to occur.

Screw the Marxist and Racial Hate Organization identified as Black Lives Matter.

David S. Wall

The latest high-profile instance of black criminals resisting arrest.

Oh, and be sure to include violence against blacks BY BLACKS.

Ridiculous, fake, insincere, phony corporate virtue signalling.

Disrespect for due process is the real issue here.

The woke mob’s (and the sensationalist media’s) contempt for awaiting the facts and allowing the legal system to provide justice is appalling and dangerous. Justice will not be achieved by rioting — or by pampered athletes engaging in ignorant tantrums. Justice — including and especially racial justice — can only exist where due process is respected. Any school kid who has read “To Kill a Mockingbird” should know that. But apparently no one affiliated with the San Jose Earthquakes does.

Mr. Lee, along with the leaders and some of the members of major league teams, have demonstrated two things: the mistaken belief that they are in a position to intelligently judge the shooting in question, and their absolute contempt for due process. In doing so they reveal a remarkable level of ignorance about their own analytical limitations and the lessons history provides regarding the horrors of mob rule.

Their tantrum will win them cheers from like-minded idiots and lose them fans who just want them to do what they do best, entertain us by bouncing, shooting, kicking, hitting, and throwing balls to each other.
