Black Lives Matter Hacks Coastal Plain All Star Game Stream
On Monday night, July 11th, one of the premier college summer baseball leagues, Coastal Plain League was set to have it’s mid-summer All Star Game. You can view the All Star Game live on the Coastal Plain League website.
At 9:00 pm eastern time, the feed was interrupted when it momentarily went blank. Instead of popping back into the game, a graphic featuring “Black Lives Matter” came up. After a few minutes of that, some details were given about an ongoing protest, before the feed switched to a what might have been a live protest somewhere. The feed lasted no more than a couple minutes.
Here are the succession of screenshots I took from the feed. As of now, that TVU network message is on the screen. The feed was viewable here.
I’ll keep political opinions to a minimum here for now and just share the details of what just happened. What I will say, is I was really looking forward to viewing the Coastal Plain All Star Game…
I’ll update with details as I get them. We’ll reach out to members of the Coastal Plain organization for a statement as soon as they’re made available.
On a happier note, there was a pretty cool fly in by the Army’s Golden Knights parachute team.
