Giants' Sam Coonrod Discusses Not Kneeling Before Dodgers Game, Stance on BLM
San Francisco Giants reliever Sam Coonrod didn't kneel before Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, telling reporters he "can't kneel before anything besides God."
The right-hander also spoke about his differences with the Black Lives Matter movement.
"I'm a Christian, like I said, and I just can't get on board with a couple of things that I have read about Black Lives Matter," Coonrod said, per NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic. "How they lean toward Marxism and they've said some negative things about the nuclear family. I just can't get on board with that."
