Technically, this player isn’t a “rookie” anymore. He was last year’s “Rookie of the Year,” but I think he’s “Player of The Year” for this season, and it’s only just started.
While many New York Mets players wore their oh-so-predictable and pandering “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts during a recent warm-up session prior to last Friday’s matchup against the Atlanta Braves, the National League “Rookie of the Year” Pete Alonso went a different route.

Alonso opted to wear a T-shirt with a Bible verse quoted on it.

The truly brave people out there will be the ones that refuse to conform to this “BLM” pandering and stand for their values and beliefs. It will be interesting to see how the mob handles these types of modern-day “renegades.”
Will their lives be placed under a microscope and destroyed for refusing to accept BLM as their lord and savior? Most likely yes.
What’s frustrating for most Americans watching this pandering unfold is that they don’t want to be subjected to SJW and politics during sports. Most people watch sports to escape that stuff and just enjoy the game.

Another point of contention is that “Black Lives Matter” is a Marxist group that hates cops and white people. You don’t have to support BLM to care about George Floyd or other black folks.
If you really think “black lives matter,” then push these Democrat politicians to offer school choice in black communities, trade schools, classes on the family unit, and upgrade their infrastructure.
The stuff we’re seeing now from sports and corporations is just PR stunts and does absolutely nothing to help support any life, black or otherwise.
