Giants' Gabe Kapler Skipping National Anthem Indefinitely After Texas School Shooting
San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler will be skipping the national anthem before his club's games until further notice.
Kapler told reporters Friday that he will not participate in the national anthem "until I feel better about the direction of our country" following the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 children and two adults.
...Kapler also criticized how police officers in Uvalde, Texas, responded to the scene and put pressure on politicians to enact stricter gun laws, writing, "We aren't free when politicians decide that the lobbyist and gun industries are more important than our children's freedom to go to school without needing bulletproof backpacks and active shooter drills.""Every time I place my hand over my heart and remove my hat, I’m participating in a self congratulatory glorification of the ONLY country where these mass shootings take place. On Wednesday, I walked out onto the field, I listened to the announcement as we honored the victims in Uvalde. I bowed my head. I stood for the national anthem. Metallica riffed on City Connect guitars.
"My brain said drop to a knee; my body didn’t listen. I wanted to walk back inside; instead I froze. I felt like a coward. I didn't want to call attention to myself. I didn't want to take away from the victims or their families. There was a baseball game, a rock band, the lights, the pageantry. I knew that thousands of people were using this game to escape the horrors of the world for just a little bit. I knew that thousands more wouldn't understand the gesture and would take it as an offense to the military, to veterans, to themselves."
... In addition, the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays used their social media accounts during their matchup on Thursday to raise awareness about gun violence and its impact in the United States. The Rays also made a $50,000 donation to Everytown for Gun Safety....

"Attending an Oakland Athletics game is looking more like punishment than entertainment at this point.
A photo went viral this week of a concession stand item apparently for sale at RingCentral Coliseum, the home of the A’s. An Oakland fan said that the stadium was selling a packet of hot cocoa mix and a cup of hot water for $4 … and you still have to mix it yourself."

True. It's farther for a rat, feral cat or disgruntled A's fan.

That was way better than I thought it was going to be, thanks. It does have a horror score vibe.
