Disrespectful: Padres long toss over troops, American flag at Citizens Bank Park
Last night, the Philadelphia Phillies sent Ranger Suarez to the mound in Game 3 of the NLCS and walked away with a massive win backed by Jean Segura and the trio of Zach Eflin, Jose Alvarado, and Seranthony Dominguez. Unfortunately before the game, San Diego decided to partake in one of the most disrespectful things I have ever seen, by having a long-toss over troops and the American flag.
Confirmed: San Diego Padres Hate America
Leave it to the Padres for the blatant showing of disrespect to the city of Philadelphia, the flag, and our troops. Are they unaware that Philadelphia is literally Revolution city? Betsy Ross made that beautiful flag right down Broad Street right next to where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
How anyone could step foot on the sacred grounds of Citizens Bank Park in the most historic city in the United States of America and think this was acceptable?
I guess it should have been expected. As we all know the state of California and anyone who resides there absolutely hates America and can’t be trusted.
Jurickson Profar even made his thoughts about the troops known:
I had the pleasure of handing out some high noons and whiskey to the troops in the G Lot during our pregame tailgate and they were all die hard Phillies fans from South Jersey who couldn’t be more honored to roll out the flag in the pregame ceremony last night.
Then you have these outfielders, none of which are even good at throwing baseballs, failing to realize what type of moment was about to happen, and just tossing a ball right over their heads. No wonder they lost last night. The lack of self-awareness is baffling.
Side Note: Profar swung. The troops had their revenge.
