A prank web site user used a photograph from 1936 to gin up a 'story' spoofing modern player protests.
Archival photos reveal several white baseball players kneeling during the national anthem in protest of the lynching of innocent negroes and Jim Crow laws. The practice was quickly ended when the players realized that most of their fans were either KKK members or sympathizers.
If this one-paragraph"story" weren't obviously fallacious enough on its own, the site contains a disclaimer for readers:"This website is an entertainment website, news are created by users. These are humourous news, fantasy, fictional, that should not be seriously taken or as a source of information."
The photograph used in the story is legitimate insofar as it is real and not manipulated, but it appears to be a completely unrelated one lifted from a sitethe biography of New York Yankees pitcher Vernon"Lefty" Gomez. Gomez can be seen kneeling on the left-hand side of the picture, joined by his fellow hurlers on the 1936 Yankees staff.
Moreover, this photograph was clearly taken well before game time and not during the playing of the national anthem, as evidenced by the paucity of spectators in the stands and the absence of any visible attendees standing at attention or placing their hands over their hearts.
