Everybody saw this tweet coming from a mile away.

Members of the San Francisco Giants, including manager Gabe Kapler, took a knee for the national anthem before Monday evening’s exhibition contest.

It was the first national anthem demonstration at an MLB game since Bruce Maxwell took a knee in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick in 2017.
