revealing dramatic losses that underscore the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the sports and live-events industries.

Every article in the MSM has to include, "impact of the coronavirus " or "peaceful protests." It's an damn Democrat forced shutdown of the economy or feral looters supported my Democrats. I have no sympathy for the cowardly Braves. They just went along with all of this.

I think this is part of a plot to whittle sports down to soccer and turn everybody gay

Here was my letter:

To: guestservices@braves.com

After fighting 3 wars in 20 years, I have found that the Atlanta Braves no longer represent my interest or the interest of the country I love.

For the last 20 years, Critical Theory has been an insidious lie taught in our universities— and the Braves organization bought it hook, line, and sinker. Your position isn’t representative of American values. We tend to cling to facts, and the facts are not with BLM (a Marxist organization); nor will they ever be.

I and many more like me have sacrificed way too much to see the advancement of a LIE, and the lack of corporate moral courage to take a stand.

No need to reply, MLB and the Braves are dead to me. Think about that. My childhood MLB team is now dead to me.

Most Sincerely,

A retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant.

Will they hold liquidation sales?

Will the players be sold/traded on the cheap?

Will the stadiums also be sold, when they go to bankruptcy court?

Will the players have to learn to code?

Was a Huge Braves fan here. I’m done with them..absolutely done. I couldn’t even tell you what their record is now. MLB and their BLM bs can go take a hike

Well, that would take us back to 1952, when they were the Boston Braves.

The move of the Braves to Milwaukee opened the floodgates of franchise shifts in baseball.

Are these fools taking a knee every game, every time the National anthem is played or was it only the first game?

I agree and that’s why I don’t know the answer to the question that I posed but I was just wondering how stupid the players really are.

Maybe a 7th inning kneel and apology by all white people in place of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”/“America the Beautiful“ will help...

Make those cardboard cutouts pay admission.

They did. Believe it or not. Here's the ad from the Seattle Mariners:

Anchors away! Mariners Baseball will soon set sail at T-Mobile Park and while at this time fans won't be able to physically attend the games, we're assembling a crew of personalized fan cutouts to help navigate the unknown waters of a 60-game MLB season.

Introducing the launch of the Mariners Seat Fleet! For just $30, you can purchase a recycle-friendly version of yourself that will sit in on all of the game action at T-Mobile Park this season while you're safe at home. Plus, the Mariners will donate a portion of every purchase to All in Washington to support COVID-related relief efforts in our communities. What's more? If your cutout "catches" a foul ball or Mariners home run during a game, we'll mail you the baseball!

The cut outs all look so ridiculous.

How embarrassing.

Well bless their hearts.

Have not watched a game yet. Of course it is easy since the Cards only got 5 games in before Covid-1984 hit them.


Was planning on actually watching Shark Week this year as they air instead of in replays. The storm earlier tonight took out my cable box here in my bedroom. ugh
