Well, at least they claim ALL contributions until further reveiw. I was gonna say I'd have to start watching so I could stop watching but............ As with ALL pro sports, gone and forgotten. Don't watch any of it any longer. And, don't miss it.

Baseball was my only watched sport. After they went all BLM etc last year I stopped watching.

BLM is a political org.
No more watching until they stop donating to them, ACLU, SPLC, Tides Foundation, etc.

The dirty secret is that companies donating to politicians is a protection racket. Hillary was a master at this. She would criticize some industry until they handed over big, sweaty wads of campaign cash, then she would shut up. If you don’t donate to these sleazy crooks, they target your business. People complain about lobbyists, but they are there both to buy influence and protection. DC is worse than the mafia because it has more power.

I have no issues with companies pausing all donations. I do have issues with any who are singling out those objecting to a corrupted election. That’s actually part of their actual job description by design.

Used to be a big MLB fan. Ended last year when MLB became BLM. All sports are joined at the hip with the wokesters.

Good. Maybe that will end taxpayer funded playpens for the overgrown little boys.

MLB is BLM spelled backwards.

Unlike other corporations that only suspended contributions to politicians who voted to decertify, MLB suspended contributions to members of both political partI have no problem with MLB suspending donations to both parties.
However, I predict, when they do start donations again, they'll not donate to the decertifiers.

That actually is the only intelligent thing they have done in the last few years. Why do they feel it is necessary to contribute to low life politicians? Political Bribery?
To: JME_FAN
Maybe it is time to bring back the
Federal League. They did, after all, give us the best MLB ballpark that is still in use today.

That MLB makes political donations in the first place is indicative of a broken culture.

“In light of the unprecedented events last week at the U.S. Capitol, MLB is suspending contributions from its Political Action Committee pending a review of our political contribution policy going forward,” the league told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Ruh, roh. China’s going to have to step up and fill the gap.

How is watching a sporting event patronizing? It’s entertainment until it’s offensive to me, then it’s gone.
