How very insensitive of you. "Take me" is a reminder of our black brethren and sistern being forcibly taken from their homeland and transported to a new and strange environment. "Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack" is an insult to working women, who can buy their own peanuts and crackerjack and don't need such degrading patriarchical condescension, thank you very much. "I don't care if I never get back"? Really? What about the children left at home to languish without the love of their parents, who are cavorting at a baseball game, to return home with crackerjack breath and hug their little ones, the sugary fumes setting little Susie's feet on the road to sugar addiction, obesity, and weak ankles? "Let me root, root, root"? Are we pigs? Rooting for the "home team" is to denigrate the honest efforts of the visiting team, crushing their egos and possibly destroying careers that they have sweated for years to perfect. Really, how can you live with yourself?

I have hear this joke before"
A young Mexican boy goes to his first US baseball game. The game was almost sold out, so the only seat he could get was the last row, furthest away from the pitch.
The game ended and when he went home, all his friends asked him how he liked it. He said it was great - everybody was so thoughtful. At the beginning of the game, everyone in the stadium asked him how he was doing. "Jose, can you see......"

You ignored the "cracker" part of the comment.

I assume all the players took a knee before the gun to show support for cop killers.

I just checked
They took a knee during the National Anthem, nice
The Washington Nats and Yankees took a knee before the National Anthem
The Reds/Tigers are apparently more committed to supporting cop killers
