San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler has vowed not to take the field during the national anthem in wake of the deadly massacre that claimed the lives of more than 20 victims in Uvalde, Texas.
On Friday, May 27, Kapler made the announcement and insisted he would not take the field in acknowledgment of the song until something the United States makes a move in the right direction. "I don't plan on coming out for the anthem going forward until I feel better about the direction of our country," Kapler said on Friday.
