Major League Baseball Saturates Social Media with Black Lives Matter Posts
Breitbart ^ | July 09 2020 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Major League Baseball’s social media accounts has gone full woke with dozens of Black Lives Matter posts from the league and players alike.

Pro baseball escaped from much of the anthem kneeling controversies in 2016 and 2017 by steering clear of wokeness for the most part. But that seems to be coming to an end if the league’s Twitter account is any indication of where baseball is headed.

MLB’s Twitter feed is filled with paeans to Black Lives Matter that have been given the MLB endorsement with official posts and re-tweets.

The left continues its long march through the institutions.

It was just a matter of time.

Haven’t watched in 30 years. And yet my life goes blissfully on. Just like it will when I don’t watch football.

...and losing fans by the bushel...

Keep it up you stupid idiots. You’re going to turn off America which has sponsored you lo these many years.

My guess is the low-life element in MLB is doing this and probably a lot of people in the organization are against all this anti-American BLM bull sh#t but the execs are to held responsible.

I called it years ago. When many FReepers got angry at the NFL when the kneeling began (and rightly so), I said this was just another one of the thousand cuts the Left will do to bring down professional sports.

Because sports represents people of all races playing together and being together, and that's a no-no to the Left, who has to keep people divided and pissed off at each other.

I know exactly who is doing it.

A handful of twenty-something woke idiots working in MLB marketing departments.

And none of their bosses have the cajones to stand-up to them.

MLB could solve a whole lot of problems if they appointed Condi Rice as Baseball Commissioner.

It’s been her dream, and she’d be very good at it, and it would shut the Leftists up.

Well, probably not, but she’d still be good at it!

Baseball used to be America’s game, but like so many other cherished institutions we are losing, only the heartland remains steadfast.

I just want to watch my Reds’ games; I am planning on paying $49.95 on the MLB one team subscription to watch the Reds...if they go crazy with BLM stuff, I’ll pass.

Condi Rice always wanted to be NFL commissioner, not MLB commissioner.

I haven’t watched baseball, since the time of the first players’ strike.

I love baseball, absolutely love it. However, I love my country more. If MLB kneels, I walk.

The radical left is really smart. Much smarter than us. They have succeeded in making major companies and major institutions repeat the words “Black lives matter,” thus showing their support for an organization that promotes the elimination of Whites, cops and the US Constitution.

Very clever. The organization name is now painted on streets. It’s on shirts, hats, face masks. Companies send out tweets with it.

The media goes along 100% with the costume party and never tells the folks what has just happened.

I know what has happened. They cannot fool me.
