Baseball Is Back! Here’s Why Your Favorite MLB Team Is Racist

Baseball is back, baby!

And so is America's favorite pastime: RACISM.

Now that Major League Baseball teams are taking the field again, it's probably a good time to learn why your favorite one is racist.

The Washington Nationals, beloved by political journalists and corporate lobbyists, are a racist abomination. That goes without saying. There's something rotten about our nation's capital. Its NFL team was recently canceled for being too racist, and its NHL team is captained by a dirty Russian.

What about the other MLB teams? As it turns out, most of them are racist. Here's why:

Los Angeles Angels — Angels aren't real, but structural racism is.

Houston Astros — City named for a racist who supported Andrew Jackson. The first astronauts were white. Cheating is a form of racism.

Oakland Athletics — The team shares a mascot (an elephant) with the Republican Party. They might as well call themselves the Oakland Hitlers.

Toronto Blue Jays — The Canadian prime minister has a blackface obsession.

Atlanta Braves — Duh.

Milwaukee Brewers — We get it, they brew beer. Guess who likes beer? Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Donald Trump appointee.

Chicago Cubs — Why isn't Sammy Sosa black anymore? Probably because he played for a profoundly racist organization.

Arizona Diamondbacks — Named after a type of snake. Racists attacked Elizabeth Warren, a woman of color, for acting like a "snake" when she refused to endorse Bernie Sanders.

San Francisco Giants — Nobody hated Barry Bonds until he played for the Giants. Hmm, wonder why?

Cleveland Indians — Duh.

Seattle Mariners — The team's mascot, a moose, resides in predominantly white areas of the country and the world.

New York Mets — Washington Free Beacon editor Brent Scher is an enthusiastic Mets fan. Enough said.

Washington Nationals — Closely linked to slavery and Nazism.

San Diego Padres — Cultural appropriation at its worst, and a glorification of the Catholic monarchs who funded the genocidal ambitions of Christopher Columbus.

Philadelphia Phillies — Everything about Philadelphia is terrible and racist.

Pittsburgh Pirates — Of course the "pirate" on their jerseys is white, even though the most notorious modern-day pirates are from Somalia. (Having a black pirate would also be racist.)

Texas Rangers — According to the Washington Post, "the team's name is not so far off from being called the Texas Klansmen." Chuck Norris is a Republican.

Cincinnati Reds — Sounds an awful lot like "Redskins," doesn't it?

Boston Red Sox — Ibid.

Kansas City Royals — The British Royal Family. The British Empire. Colonialism wasn't cool, folks. It was very racist.

Minnesota Twins — Do cops like baseball? Thought so. Abolish them.

Chicago White Sox — Was "White Supremacy" taken?

New York Yankees — Gross.

Baseball is dead.

Killed by wokeness and marxists.

They still have figured out how good they had it and how bad things are going to become.

After they provided the shipping needed to bring the slaves over from Africa.

The M stands for Major. Major is like master, which means the players are slaves.....that play in a FEILD!!!! That have to run while avoiding being chased-down and TAGGED. Dugouts are just slave quarters!

Therefore MLB is a literal plantation. All racisisims!!!!!

Since every non black is a racist and all black players suffer intense racism today, can we finally cut out Jackie Robinson deification? I was so f’n sick of Jackie Robinson 10 years ago.

I had to chuckle last week. I was watching the Texas Rangers play a California team. Stenciled in black on the 2nd base side of the pitcher’s mound was BLM surrounded by the MLB logo.

A few days later, when the Rangers were back at their new stadium, stenciled in white on the 2nd base side of the pitcher’s mound was “Charles SCHWAB’.

If you notice, the Cardinals are not racist.

The Cardinals are racist because they play in the city where Dred Scott was decided. And Lou Brock was falsely accused of stealing all those bases.
