Truly a stupid move. Someone twisting their arm?

You’d think after watching the tumble the NBA, NHL and NFL took this past year, that they would learn to keep their mouths shut and play ball.

why is Yahoo Sports calling it a “Restriction” ?? Showing a legitimate ID in order to vote is not a restriction...Typical Commie double talk

Hey baseball,
Growing up, Mickey Mantle was my hero
Go f-ing woke,
Go f-inf broke.
See ya boys
Just like the NBA
Go fish

MLB.com says you can cancel at any time and not be charged from that point forward.

The Georgia congressional delegation should introduce legislation pulling MLB’s anti-trust exemption. Every Republican led state should co-sponsor. Watch those corporate shills quake when they get sued in federal court.

Pro sports are working hard to damage their sports. MLB obviously thinks Blacks aren’t smart enough to get a photo ID. What an insult!

No need to.

They choke every year. People are tired of the perennial losers.

Same with the Hawks and Falcan’ts

By subsidizing the sport that would perpetrate this vile hypocrisy makes you complicit.....You either have no righteous political compass or no conscience or both.

I called the number at the site pressed zero and spoke to someone. I gave my name and email and told them I would never watch MLB again. This is an absolute disgrace what they have done.

I believe the people who follow baseball are disproportionately Republican males. What a stupid thing to do!

All tax breaks for MLB in red states need to end as does baseball’s anti=trust exemption.

“Nobody even watches sports anymore thanks to Covid,”


That’s the crazy thing. With people cooped up at home for the last year, you’d think that sports viewing would be through the roof. Anything to offer an escape. Perhaps there’s another reason why viewership is down. I wonder what it could be?

As Mark Levin pointed out tonight, since MLB is sucking up to the Chicoms

I don't why since China is not a mecca for baseball. The Chinese are much more into basketball. I don't see them pouring money into MLB.

Do the players agree with MLB’s decision?

Bad decision, caving and catering to #woke fascists. This is going to cost them ticket sales, viewership, and revenue, and they con’t be able to figure out why. (The NFL still hasn’t.)

If it bothers them that much, maybe they sholuld move the Braves out of Atlanta. There are plenty of cities that would love to have them; they’re a pretty good team.

George Carlin was right: Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.

Entirely predictable. The legislators knew what they were doing.
