Always nice to know that someone's political views should be established as a requirement to play a sport. That's real American freedum. Next thing ya know, maybe we can get back to when only good old white boys could play baseball. I'd watch it if it were only white boys.
There are other ways to protest.

My father and father in law fought in WW2 under that flag and IMHO it is disrespectful not to stand at attention while our anthem is being sung.
