I refuse to use this article to express an opinion unrelated to sports. What I will write about (from the heart) is the interference of politics in America's national game from both sides of the controversial issue.
While the USA allows for peaceful demonstrations as a form of freedom of speech, doing so in front of a baseball stadium is reprehensible. People who go to sporting events of any kind go to relax and escape from the routines and tensions of everyday life.
