Whenever I log into MLB The Show or Apex Legends, I'm greeted by a message that Black Lives Matter. I might be having a real good, carefree, white guy in the midwest while the sun is shining kind of day, but whenever I turn to my favorite forms of escapism to tie a neat little bow on all that it's right there in front of my face - our country is a dumpster fire!
