COLIN KAEPERNICK CAN CALL POLICE ‘MURDERERS’ AND DISRESPECT THE FLAG, BUT SEATTLE MARINERS CATCHER STEVE CLEVENGER CANNOT CALL BLM PROTESTERS ‘ANIMALS’, LAUGH AT THE CHARLOTTE SHOOTING, AND CALL OBAMA ‘PATHETIC’

For his tweets on social media, the Seattle Mariners have suspended Clevenger without pay for the rest of the baseball season

Another tweeter bite the dust for expressing his opinions on social media. On Thursday, Seattle Mariners Catcher Steve Clevenger posted the following tweets:

“Black people beating whites when a thug got shot holding a gun by a black officer haha shit cracks me up! Keep kneeling for the anthem”

“BLM is pathetic once again! Obama you are pathetic once again! Everyone involved should be locked behind bars like animals”

While I agree that BLM and Obama are pathetic, I certainly would not say “haha shit cracks me up” about the situation in Charlotte. Nor would I say to lock them up like animals. Clevenger was clearly out of line and his remarks are being construed as racist by those who are uber-sensitive to any derogatory statements about blacks.

Thus Clevenger joins scores of cops who’ve had their words on social media come back to chew apart their dumb asses.

I believe the Mariners were correct in suspending Clevenger without pay for the remaining 10 games of the season. Seattle is out of the playoffs. I suspect the Mariners will end up firing Clevenger.

Now compare the swift and harsh discipline dished out by the Mariners to the NFL’s response to Kaepernick’s public misconduct. Instead of suspending Colin Kaepernick for telling the media that the police are “murderers” and for refusing to stand during the playing of the national anthem, his coach and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised the spoiled asshole.
