If the government forces you to sell anything for the sake of PC its a sad state of affairs; not the USA I grew up in.

“If the government forces you to sell anything for the sake of PC its a sad state of affairs; not the USA I grew up in.”

Other than political figures chiming in (I don’t recall that they gave up the right to do so by being elected), how is the government involved here?

If you really want to go down that road, many municipalities have a stake in these teams, by providing facilities and infrastructure. To the best of my knowledge, no one “forced” any team owner to make use of these facilities. So, in those cases, the public DOES have a stake in the behavior of many sports franchises (I don’t know the particulars in this particular case). But this relationship between major league franchises and government has existed for years, and I don’t recall anything but the franchisees making demands and threatening to otherwise leave until they got their goodies.
