Disband the Yankees!
MLB would not let black players play baseball in the 1930's. So, if Kate Smith was wrong so were they. Dump the entire fucking bunch!

The term 'Yankee' is racist as hell. Disband the whole organization.

The question I would ask anyone who supports this brand of nonsense is- what are you doing right now, that will be considered shocking or socially unacceptable, say, 75 years from now, or 150 years from now?

What opinions have you expressed, what causes have you supported, what actions have you taken- all of which are perfectly acceptable today- that will be condemned in the future?

It's preposterous. I can understand children accepting this stuff, especially since it is being all but intravenously injected into them in the indoctrination camps known as public school. It's the adults who have no excuse.

I used to believe that the NHL was the last bastion of PC resistance....no longer.

Philly Flyers got involved in this bullshit, too.

Philadelphia Flyers remove Kate Smith statue, New York Yankees halt her 'God Bless America' amid controversy

The Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday removed a statue of late singer Kate Smith that stood outside their arena for more than three decades, the move coming two days after the team covered the monument in response to complaints about two tunes the "God Bless America" singer performed in the 1930s.

The Flyers had covered the statue and suspended playing her famous rendition of the patriotic song Friday. The Flyers decision followed a similar one made recently by the New York Yankees, who for 18 years had played the recording during the seventh inning stretch. Smith's statue had stood near the Philadelphia sports complex since 1987.

This idiocy, this absurdity is emblematic of our times.

This could be a really beautiful country if it weren't for the drag put on us as a people, by leftist imbeciles and their ruinous bullshit.

And yes, I know that some of them know that this is all nonsense, and they are using "racism" simply as a pretense to further tear down this nation. Either way- Clueless or conniving, these people ruin everything they touch.

Conservatives usually don't fight fire with fire. I say it's time.

Let's find someone the liberals love that at some time in the past made some anti-LBGQT whatever statements and let them have it...tear down their statue.

Just off the top of my head I can think of the Clintons saying stuff about marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman. Bill Clinton stance on marriage (DOMA).

Your idea has been tried. The Left's hypocrisy allows them to rationalize away these people's past racist views.

Let us not forget that most presidents of the United States of America, before the Civil War, held black slaves! We have got to be PC, look in your pockets and wallets and throw away all that currency that has a picture of a slave holder. Wow, you are broke.

The Left is ridiculous and this country is in big trouble. Let us hope that changes. I am too old to ever see it.
