Stand up against Racism, Bigotry, and Hate. Giants Pitcher Sam Coonrod Refuses to Kneel for MLB’s Black Lives Matter Moment: ‘I’m a Christian’

Stand up against Racism, Bigotry, and Hate. Giants Pitcher Sam Coonrod Refuses to Kneel for MLB’s Black Lives Matter Moment: ‘I’m a Christian’. Remember the name Sam Coonrod. A man who would not allow a hate group dictate to him that he must kneel to this terrorist group.

After the game, he told reporters his religious beliefs made it impossible for him to join in ... but he also said he didn't believe in some of the things he believes BLM stands for.

"I just can’t get on board with a couple things I’ve read about Black Lives Matter, how they lean towards Marxism,” Coonrod said. “And … they said some negative things about the nuclear family. I just can’t get on board with that.”

Coonrod said he meant "no ill will" by his gesture ... and added, "I’m not mad at someone who decided to kneel. I just don’t think it’s too much to ask that I just get the same respect.”

A true American Hero.
