As with any protests, think about it in advance before it happens.

Understand what the consequences might be. Decide if it is worth it.

If you do protest, go all in. Know why you're doing it and be able to explain it concisely and calmly.

Protest isn't always about other people. Sometimes telling them that can defuse a situation.

Sometimes it's better for allies to support, rather than act. Sometimes it's better for allies to protect protestors and educate bystanders. Sometimes it's better for allies to participate. It depends.

Again, do what you think is right.

Added factor is I attend with my best friend..her season tickets and while she is a lefty, In many ways I am way left of her.

They also do a between innings rendition of God bless America which is truly vomit inducing.
Last game we both sat thru that
