Activists Pressure Georgia to Boycott MLB, PGA After Election Reform Law
Breitbart ^ | 28Mar | D Gwinn

Posted on 03/29/2021 10:49:39 AM PDT by qaz123

Athlete activists and activist groups have joined in an effort to force Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) to boycott the state of Georgia after the state government passed an election reform bill.

The Masters is scheduled to be held in Augusta, Georgia, in August. The MLB All-Star Game is scheduled to take place in July. However, several different activist groups are doing their best to prevent either event from taking place after Georgia passed a voter reform law that will make it harder for Democrats to steal elections.

Could care less about MLB All Star game being in Smyrna, as I’m sure most Georgians could care less anyway. They’re more concerned about 2 stolen sections.

However.........The Masters is NOT PGA sponsored event. It’s a tournament put on by Augusta National, invitation only. They can do what they want.

And I can assure you, that about 98% of the people that watch The Masters, voted for Donald J Trump and are perfectly ok with the recent bill in Georgia. And some of them wish it were a even stricter.

Uh, the Masters is set to start in a couple of weeks, not August.

These activists groups are largely nearly empty fronts. Soros money funds them but they don’t actually have many members. They invent plenty of bots though and pretend to have far far more influence than they actually wield.

correct, remember when they tried to boycott the advertisers because women were not allowed to be members. They just held it without sponsors.

This is to further the spin that Election Reform is about the items provided in the no rules chaos House Bill that just went to the Senate. Anything else is Jim Crow. Demonize and label the GA bill as unfair. The definition of the truth is the first story to hit the street. Everything else is a rebuttal.

Yup. And one year, because they have so much effin’ money, they paid CBS to air the Sunday round without commercials. It was awesome

Patriots need to just unplug and find other activities with sports, hobbies, reading, church, friends and family.

Screw the media, ALL of it — TV, movies, music, social media, print media.

Use the phone only to speak with others. Actually talk. Nothing else (except driving directions maybe).

Was watching Fox at the gym. Black civil rights attorney on there with the ladies. They brought this up. He let all the ladies speak and then laid into it pretty hard.

He destroyed the Lefts arguments on this and the references to Jim Crow. Don’t know his name, older guy and I’m confident he’s seen a thing or two. I was waiting for that nasty POS Leslie whatever her name is, to chime in but she just sat there, knowing she could say thing

So Georgia should boycott the MLB and PGA? Or is that just a stupid headline> Should read Activists Pressure MLB and PGA to Boycott Georgia, no?

Many of you may not remember but the Masters was involved with another boycott threat a number years back..

Augusta National did not have any womem members, some woman was leading a boycott of all the major advertisers trying force Augusta National to admit women as members...

The ruling body of the Augusta National politely told the woman to pound sand....

They went to all their major sponsors and said, to avoid controversy you don’t have advertises during Masters they would do the tournament without any commercial interruptions...

That particular year, the Masters was broadcast start to finish without TV advertising...

I’m down. I was a huge Spieth fan but I really like Dustin too.

We got rid of Freaknik and several other ‘woke’ events. Time to push back to these MFer’s and put them back in their place.

I am going to now buy season tickets to the Braves, just so that I have access to tickets to the All-Star game and file a lawsuit against these b@stards.

Hit me once and I will take the punch. Hit me again, I will go full whoop-ass on you and make you regret your actions.

These activists have no clout to threaten the Masters. That’s a foolish dream. Georgia may have caved into the liberal vote stealing, but Georgia likes its money and publicity more than to put up with a bunch of fish wives.
