Good luck with your fans, Major League Baseball
The Washington Post ^ | April 3, 2021 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 04/04/2021 7:41:31 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

By moving the Major League Baseball All-Star Game from Atlanta, where it was scheduled to be played this summer, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has, in the opinion of many Republicans, declared the league an arm of the Democratic Party and baseball itself to be a blue sport, with values opposed to the Constitution and representative government.

The Washington Compost printed this?

I won't click through but I would guess that this is a gloating piece.

The last straw for me was watching a Mariners game on TV 2 years ago and they announced that tonight was 'Gay Family Night at the Ballpark'.

No, no more of this crap.

Do they still play that game at a professional level in the US?

I’m more likely to watch the Korean baseball they broadcast last year.

I really haven't watched much baseball for several years and none since I cut the cord on Comcrap cable over year ago. It is no longer the game I enjoyed growing up and into the 1990's. It became increasingly more difficult for me to watch after player's strikes. Now it is full woke, and I have yet to hear about any players opposing the move of the All-Star game.

I want to preserve my many childhood memories of the game. I won't let the business of today ruin my memories of the game of the past. I really doubt if I will ever watch another game.

About 23 years ago, the San Francisco Giants rolled out the huge “AIDS Quilt” in left field at Candlestick Park — right in front of where my 7 year old son and I were sitting. “Daddy, why are they rolling that thing out?”

“Well, son, some people who like to sew are showing off their work.”

That REALLY pissed me off and I went to only a few games after that. Even at the time I thought “what the HELL are they thinking? Are those who are getting AIDS really big baseball fans? Why piss off the main fan base?”

Some things have not changed a bit.

A comprehensive review of the new law was undertaken by Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB)— not exactly a segregationist stronghold. The bill expands early voting access for most counties, adds an additional mandatory Saturday for voting and formally codifies Sunday voting hours as optional. “Secure absentee ballot drop boxes — which did not exist a year ago — are now officially part of state law...

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred apparently didn't bother to read the law... he and the Delta and Coke boys were blinded by their hatred of traditional white Americans. You couldn't pay me to buy one of their products... eff you bastards...

MLB removed the All Star game from Cobb County, GA. A blue county with many minority owned small businesses.

How could they harm all these people of color?

One has to subscribe to read the article. Yuk.

You should have posted the maximum 300 words instead of auto excerpt.

MLB has been trending woketard for many years with their homo pride days and rainbow BS and such. The last straw for me was in 2019 when the Yankees put an LGBTQ plaque in Monument Park and banned the playing of Kate Smith singing God Bless America during 7th inning stretches due to her alleged racism. The Nelson Mandela plaque dedicated in 2014 was the next to the last straw. The first straw was probably the players’ strike of ‘94.
