A Washington Post columnist argues that Major League Baseball should abandon Florida, the home of pro baseball’s annual spring training season for over a century, because of Gov. Ron DeSantis.

In a column on Monday, Kevin B. Blackistone said MLB can no longer ignore the Republican governor’s “culture war.”

It worked really well when MIB abandoned Georgia.

I watched a preseason game the other day during a medical appointment. These new rule changes are just another nail in baseball’s coffin. It’s no longer the game I grew up with. Yet another reason to not get cable again.

Everyone should stop everything because somebody’s doing something somewhere to someone. Good God.

[Secret Agent Man]

So everything is supposed to just leave when they aren’t in power.

Such. Frigging marxist morons.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Lie forcefully knowing the media and the appropriate establishment will support you.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target and polarize it" via Rules for Radicals.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Scream accusations of racism* (or racist* attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack your opposition by projecting your guilt onto them.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: Declare that your destructive actions are creating a positive outcome.

The Left’s Core Strategy #6: Attack opposition with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Think drive-by shooter.

The Left’s Core Strategy #7: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.

Better idea: bring all of MLB to the red states, where the game is appreciated and needs no wokeness to sell itself.

Get bent, wokester.

Kevin B. Blackistone is an angry Negro columnist who makes a lot of money per year, enough to put him way into the top half of all earners. He lives a good life. Why is he angry?

Kevin is angry because he doesn't have a Negro name. People who read his column won't know he's a Negro. He's jealous of fellow tribesmen like Frizzell Gerald Gray. Frizzel changed his name to Kweisi Mfume. Now that's says Africa right in your face!

Another member of that tribe is Marguerite Annie Johnson. Potential readers of her doggrel didn't know right off the bat that she wasn't White. Voilà! She became Maya Angelou! Mysterious, probably Creole!

Poor old Kevin B. Blackistone. People keep mistaking him for the 15th Earl of Essex! No, no, no! He is proud black man. And he wants you to know it.

[Third Person]

The MLB should be abandoned... along with the NFL, NBA, and PGA.

A Washington Post columnist argues...”

They argue all kinds of crazy stuff. The amazing part is that anyone cares or is surprised by it anymore.

[NorthMountain]

He is proud black man.

There's another word for what he is, and Chris Rock is tired of them.

Tired, tired, tired.

[raccoonradio]

Blackistone is a regular on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption...he and others on that show look very old these days (Tony Kornheiser, Bob Ryan, Woody Paige).

The liberals want a civil war.

TAKE DISNEY INSTEAD:

Progressive Blue City Disney Exhibits can include 'the homeless' pooping on streets, drug addicts shooting up, child mutilation rides, and 'groomers' house of horrors...

Progressives and Trumpers can work together. Move Disney m to some hellhole city in some blue state... Bye bye groomers.

Maybe St. Louis or Baltimore or Memphis or San Francisco?
