Can you think of a single conservative boycott that has altered the behavior of a Global 100 company? I sure can’t.

Boycotts generally don’t work for either side and sometimes they actually backfire, as happened when liberals called for the boycott of Chick-fila (although after old man Cathy died, Chick-fila immediately went woke, too).

The pressure were seeing today exerted by progressive groups on corporations transcends boycotts. It’s something else and whatever it is, it’s surprisingly and consistently effective. That is what Republicans have to figure out how to counter.

There is some fighting back, other than by boycotts. The Georgia House passed a bill revoking a jet fuel tax break for Delta Airlines. Too bad the Georgia Senate didn’t bother with it.

Also, some South Carolina GOP House (US) members are looking into revoking MLB’s antitrust exemption.

Perhaps some enterprising attorney can start a class action lawsuit against Woke-A Cola for caffeine-addicted diabetics.

Speaking of boycotts...What if some professional athletes refused to come to Georgia to play until the law is repealed?

What if the baseball players' union decides that players will not come to Braves' home stadium until the law is repealed?

MLB All Star game is only one game...Braves play at the home stadium for 81 games...

Some reporter should ask Tony Clark about that idea...Clark is the head of baseball players' union...

How serious is Mr. Clark about repealing the Georgia law? How far does he want to go?

A few days ago, I was thinking about paying $24.99 a month for MLB baseball streaming package...Directly from MLB...I changed my mind at the last minute...I instead decided to pay $15 a month more for sports package...I have Sling TV...
