Democracy Defenders? MLB Doesn’t Signal Plans to Move Facility from China
Breitbart ^ | 2 Apr 2021 | WENDELL HUSEBO

Posted on 04/02/2021 8:54:49 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Major League Baseball (MLB) operates a player Development Center in Communist China while relocating their All-Star Game from Atlanta, Georgia, merely because Georgia’s residents must use an ID to vote due to a newly passed state law.

“MLB’s Development Center in China has been focused on academics, baseball, and the social and cultural development of each of the participants to come through the doors,” their website reads. “MLB China’s focus is to nurture the needs of those student-athletes, and produce well-rounded and well-prepared individuals for opportunities that might include the continuance of their academic pursuits or a playing career upon the graduation of high school,” the initiative continues.

The MLB’s stratagem comes as they removed their All-Star Game from Atlanta, Georgia after the Georgia State legislature passed an election integrity bill to limit the number and location of drop boxes, reform voter ID requirements, and early voting access statewide while modernizing the state’s voter rolls.

“I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft, Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr. said. “Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box.”

According to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the move could cost the City of Atlanta tens of millions of dollars. John Cardillo noted that the financial impact would primarily fall on “predominantly black Atlanta businesses because rich white leftists complained about GA’s voter integrity law.”

Corporations that have connections with China don’t want to see this happen REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ? They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts
If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed.

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for Biden ?

Interesting...

It would appear the CHICOMS have invested heavily into US pro sports. It is common knowledge CHICOMS are knee deep into the NBA, but this news MLB is also infected is even more concerning.

Wouldn’t put it past the CHICOMS to sink hooks into the grass roots American socialist communist to lure/bait the greedy owners.

Hells bells, one might even venture/conclude the CHICOMS’ support/interest of US PRO sports might be prepositioned to counter the loss of revenue from faithful, Constitution loving Americans despising withdrawing their support and money from this crap form of “let em eat their cake”.

hmmm.

Pro sports is one of the last places where a conservative like you could bond with your liberal neighbor. It used to be that you could watch the Boston Celtics game with that Leftist professor from Harvard. But no more.

You’re correct. Sports arguably seemed to bind our fabric “once”. No longer! Game playing rich millionaires? Not interested in their welfare.

I’ll go on record for you...their are liberals, their are socialist and their are communist. The world would be far better with all three gone...they have no code, never demonstrate personal integrity, all lack personal responsibility and they never accept/consider their “fantastic, mostly useless actions harm so many others.

Despite every single failure, you just want another “do over”!

Since the Major League Baseball organization wants to be a Red China toadie and asskisser, let’s RENAME them as the “Marxist League Baseball”. More in keeping with their actions and mousy words.

Guess who is NOT going to fly DELTA this Spring for a trip to Florida? Our whole family of 7.

Guess who is boycotting “Commie Coke”? Our whole family of 8. (the 8th was going to Florida later this year but now, not by Delta.

Quess who is NOT going to buy baseball, basketball or football trading cards anymore? MOI! Going to sell of the cards of the black racists, black Marxists, white Marxists, white self-haters, and BLM supporters.

Thanks for the money I’m going to recover, plus some, aholes. You are now the enemies of America. Payback will be swift and costly.

Sorry for the working class people in sports who will lose their jobs because of this racist and political treason, but actions have consequences, and the time for revenge is NOW.

Sound like a good place for them to move to entirely. I for one would not miss them at all. Sick and tired of these so-called celebs telling everyone what they should think or do.

China would be a good place for them.
