SF GIANTS' SAM COONROD
REFUSES TO KNEEL FOR BLM MOMENT
… 'I'm A Christian'
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.”
