    Maybe the banner is saying that we should start referring to racism as "America's Pastime".

    It's such common sense, it's baffling how uncommon it seems to be for some.

    Didn't say it was. I wanted to know their actual policy. Which they could probably just change on the spot anyway.

    Have other political banners been excluded in the past? Questions like that.

    I hate racism and baseball so I'm not bothered in the least.

    I am quite sure I have no knowledge of their regulations. I can only speculate that, they may not want to turn the place into a giant political free speech bill board. I also suspect a lot a baseball fans
    might not want a dose of political agenda when they spend their bucks to see a ball game.

    I agree! All politicians should be banned from sporting events.

    Man that would be a giant mark against public ownership of sporting facilities if it mean submitting to the intrusion of political propaganda at every event.

    I agree with this too! Public stadiums should not be rented out to political events and rallies.
