Thats what happened in 2017 after Heather Heyer was murdered in charlottesville, virginia, when she was protesting a white supremacist demonstration in charlottesville. 36 Confederate Monuments came down that year.

Schoolteachers of america who will not have any of the protections that Major League Baseball has afforded these teams and these players . Thats right.
