    Lone MLB Player refused to Kneel

    Lone MLB Player Who Refused To Kneel Before Game Cites His Christian Faith




    Given the current social climate, it probably came as little surprise that every MLB player from the four teams that played on Opening Day took a knee as a statement about inequality.

    Well, every MLB player except for one.

    San Francisco reliever Sam Coonrod was the only player among the Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Washington Nationals who didn't take part in the demonstration.

    QUOTE: It's more than a little jarring seeing a player like Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, a man who just signed a monstrous $380 million deal, kneeling during the anthem as a form of protest against "inequality."

    Uh, yeah, I agree! - I suppose his retort would be "Inequality for one, is inequality for all"

    And my reply would be: "OK, then you wanna spread some of your wealth around to those whom you feel are disenfranchised?

    This quote from Sam Coonrod says it best, ""I don't think I'm better than anybody," Coonrod said. "I'm just a Christian. I believe I can't kneel before anything but God, Jesus Christ. I chose not to kneel. I feel if I did kneel I'd be a hypocrite. I don't want to be a hypocrite.""

    Grace, Shalom, and Maranatha in Jesus name.
