Ready for an anti-racist checklist to go with your hot dog?
Major League Baseball has gone from a Field of Dreams to a dystopic Field of Nightmares.
Coming off the All-Star Game P.R. debacle, where they moved the game out of Atlanta, MLB is upping its radical chic several notches with its latest political advocacy.
On the anniversary of George Floyd's death, MLB highlighted its social justice initiatives, which are a series of suggested readings, video viewings, and social justice activities that it recommends people do. Nothing like giving your customers a homework assignment. And they wonder why people find baseball less fun these days.
As you can imagine, the suggestions they give are real humdingers. For instance, they advise we read Dr. Ibrahim X Kendi. Kendi is a totalitarian utopist who is popular on the P.C. lecture circuit. He believes that capitalism is inherently racist and advocates for a Department of Anti-Racism.
What would the DOA do? you might ask.
n his own words, they would "be responsible for preclearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won't yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas. The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas." So much for the land of the free. The DOA would also be empowered to investigate private business and monitor speech. Best of all, DOA officials couldn't be fired, not even by the president.
MLB's recommendations go on and on and don't get any better, including asking you to study the fraudulent and historically inaccurate 1619 Project. They also suggest you learn about the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Go do this in Cuba. People are getting fed up with it here.
No more.
I still wear hats, but no more baseball caps.
When the fans stop putting up with the nonsense and quit watching, buying tickets and the merchandise, they will either return to the game or go extinct.
Pro team sports are dead to me.
Maybe they could add an hour or so to the games and dedicate it to struggle sessions for fans. The oppressed millionaires could lead it.
Yucko. Glad that I got to instead grow up with the annual trips to Expos games with the Carlsberg brass band in the stadium lobby and the concessions people calling out beer and hot dogs in both official languages, lol.
It’s a race to the bottom. Given that how bad are things going to be in 1 year? In 5 years? In 10?
Who appointed them to be everybody’s conscience?
As if the left has any moral basis to be able to make that claim.
Go extinct.
Professional sports serve no useful purpose. Their draw is entertainment only. The world will exist just fine without them.
It’s not just MLB, the NFL, the NBA, Noosecar, and now, the PGA.
It’s trickled down to the NCAA.
The U.S. population needs to cut off all support to college and pro sports until the purveyors come begging for fans to come back. Otherwise, the insanity will only get worse.
MLB = NFL = ESPN = Democrat scum.
Even more than that, they have distracted able bodied men and women from the vigilance required to maintain a Republic. Sports replaces the militia in the American experience and the consequences have been catastrophic.
I have two baseball caps for yard work. One is a plan tan color. The other is blue denim with white mesh on the back.
The hats are useful, as is not paying extra to honor a pro sports team.
The MLB was dying long before their moronic all stars debacle. They are just going to sink even faster.
:: When the fans stop putting up with the nonsense and quit watching, buying tickets and the merchandise, they will either return to the game or go extinct. ::
That won’t chnage a thing.
MLB will keep playing as long as The Sports Book is alive.
$Billions$ pass through The Sports Book every week.
