MLB’s values are about Fascism?

Schedule a good soccer match at the stadium on the same day. Get a bigger audience and coverage where the flag and nation are honored. We can do it.

Hey MLB just pack up and move to China.

This Georgian would not miss a thing.

O and don’t come back.

The stadium isnt in Atlanta. They moved out of the city a couple years ago into a very pro gun GA county. Atlanta wishes the Braves the worst.

Wonder what city will host the All Star Game? Would local MLB team be willing to piss off a large sector of their fan base? My guess is that there will be no All Star Game. Covid don’t you know.

The trend for the All Star Game in tv ratings is not good. There was no 2020 game but the 2019 game got a total of just under 6 million households watching and just over 8 million total viewers. To compare the peak that I could see is 1980 with over 20 million households and 36 million total viewers. 1976 had similar numbers.

Voter restriction law? No! Anti-voter fraud law.

I waited 42 years to “see” the Dodgers finally win another Championship*. I didn’t watch one pitch of it. I won’t be watching one pitch this year either. Flick them.

Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement that "the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating the entire MLB organization to Communist China."

You didn't say that ... but go anyway you miserable puke.

“No, it’d be moving the team out of Georgia, or denying the World Series being there should the Braves make it there, but obviously that southeast money is too much.”

Georgia could outlaw baseball in the state. Both playing and watching. Heck, outlaw other sports, too.

Baseball employs a lot of folks out of proportion to the general population. Should Georgia intervene to correct this injustice? Baseball has no female players. Should Georgia intervene to correct this injustice? To say nothing of the rest of the non-binary crowd.

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

************************************************************

Everyone across America who watches only MSM (CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN/PMSNBC/NPR) is told over and over and over, that Georgia is restricting voters. So many people only listen to the “evening news hour”, and will never have a clue that it is about anything other than that. Sad, but low information voters will never hear the truth.

#16. Can’t have black and white players working together because it is TOO AMERICAN in that it “represents the American ethos of competition, teamwork and unity”.

That is why I now call MLB, Marxist League Baseball. Getting redder than a Stalinist purge/execution on a sunny spring day.

Surrender seems to be the popular option.
