      The MLB and MLBPA are the real Nazi's

      In a series of tweets, Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal details the new measures:
      • Players and staff must wear face coverings that cover the mouth and the nose at all times while at the ballpark other than while on the field of play itself. This new mandate includes the dugout and bullpen.
      • In order to minimize time spent together indoors, home teams must provide outdoor covered spaces for the visiting team. Home teams must also provide appropriate spaces that allow for social distancing during rain delays.
      • Traveling parties must be reduced to absolutely essential personnel.
      • Players and team personnel must wear face coverings at all times at team hotels other than in each person's individual hotel room.
      • A member of a road team, whether player or staff, must inform the team compliance officer if he or she wishes to leave the team hotel for any reason.
      • Home team players and staff members are now prohibited from going to, in Diamond's words, "bars, lounges, malls or other places in which larger groups gather."

                    and exhale before playing Political Clown-Police?

                    The guy made a stupid gesture that folks took the wrong way -- AND THEN FELL ALL OVER

                          Seriously polo?

                          What if you were just watching the game and that happened? Would you have thought the same?

                          Or did you need a complete non story headline, the next day, to tell you how to interpret the scene?

                          Before you answer, remember, what happened in the video is not what the headlines and story say.

                          It was not a Nazi salute, it was a social distancing high five.

                          Think about it.

                            This salute known as the Nazi salute is not even their salute. They stole it from the Roman empire. The Roman military used this salute before anyone else. The reason behind this was the Nazis wanted a "reign" like the Romans had over the world. Yes, Hitler and the Nazis worshiped the Roman rule. You morons and retards need to go back to school and learn something or start reading books. But don't feel too bad because that A's Coach probably didn't know this either and still doesn't.

                            So, if you are anti-Roman you really are anti-USA because they are basically the Revived Roman Empire in as many ways as possible in comparison of the times.

                            Cheers retards!

                              We have 4 different sports going full throttle in the USA right now, and this gets enough coverage to have Oakland make a 2 paragraph statement about it? The lack of sports for 4 months has graduated thousands of people to Karen and Ken status.

                                Next video we see will be some kid raising his hand in class, but his injured shoulder means he can only go about 45 degrees.

                                But then he laughs about it because it looks like Hitler in the history book.

                                Get the Nazi's out of school!!!!!!

                                            Lol it was a clear Nazi salute wtf is even to discuss there.

                                            "Social distancing high five" - seriously lmao. Is that how you typically do a high five?

                                            It was a Nazi salute, period. Stupid to do this in public. Just do it at home with all your other Nazi friends.

                                              Fair enough. I thought you were more on the offended side, as far as the look side.

                                                I'm just going to say one last thing. What he did in that video was not actually a Nazi Salute.

                                                A Nazi salute is not raising your hand at a 45 degree angle, just a like a US military salute is not a hand on a forehead.

                                                In both, there is a move to it whereby the arm does one thing before reaching that final position.

                                                Perhaps the media has preyed upon the public's general ignorance of that and that the final position in both salutes represents the full salute to the layman...and that is most certainly a bad look for the Nazi salute.

                                                But if the player is a Nazi, then he's no layman. So it might have been a joke in bad taste, maybe not the first, but the second time he did it for sure. You can tell he was laughing anyway...

                                                  nah i take everything in stride. i think it is actually comedic that the coach did that movement and put the A's in a position where they had to be quick to cover their ass.

                                                        if you’re really Jewish then I’m sure some of your dead Jewish ancestors who died by the hands of Nazis would care? By most of your awful posts, you really make Jewish people look bad.

                                                          This kind of reminds me when Tom Brady did some sign with 2 hands after his 6th SB victory that people said looked like a white supremacist signal. Come on now. This is f'n stupid.

                                                                It was a Nazi salute, period. Stupid to do this in public. Just do it at home with all your other Nazi friends.
