Well, I WAS toying with the idea of going to a few major league baseball games starting this year, after nearly 30 years of boycotting the ball parks because of the ridiculous strike in 1995. I know professional sports are a very big business, both for the owners and the players, but they at least used to hide that fact behind a curtain of good behavior by the ball players and silence from the owners on every issue except those which directly affected their particular sport. Well, the players are (in too many cases, though certainly not all) a bunch of spoiled criminals, not showing any kind of good character for kids, and the owners are now pushing into politically sensitive areas. Guess what, they can’t do these things without pissing off a large part of their base of fans, or we will cut off the revenue streams. At this point, unless MLB withdraws its endorsement of this anti-American gun control crap, I will not be attending any games, nor buying any of their merchandise. MLB and these other sports have made it plain that they have contempt for those people who provide them with a very fine living, and now they should expect some pushback.

Like most professional sports the CCP owns them. Bet you can name a dozen jocks who are obviously on their payroll.

I notice that none of these sports organizations have denounced the genocide of Chinese communism or of the forced slave labor making the basketball shoes that are so popular.

Although “dirty and weak movement despite being accompanied with significant noise and froth” is a pretty good description.

In 2023 a tranny bar in Roanoke TX held a “kid friendly” drag show. Some ANQUEEFAs acted as security openly brandishing AR15s. Yet no concerns from the Karens at Moms Demand Action or soy boi David Hogg or any other gun grabbers. This one of countless examples of such hypocrisy automatically invalidates any gun control argument. How many gun grabbers are in love with Luigi Mangione? And how many are PO’ed that Pres Trump survived 2 assassination attempts?
