Won’t happen.
The standard liberal “double standard” applies.
Until we make them eat their double standard.

They should just Cancel His Membership for being a Racist

When the revenue and profits of MLB begin to drop like a stone that is not the only resignation request Commissioner Rob Manfred will receive.
Also just what lucky American city is about to be cursed as the relocation site for the All Star game. Have a hunch it will be cancelled. COVID will of course be blamed.

Marco is right, but it is going to take more than a letter.

There’s plenty to criticize Rubio about, but a minority Senator in a current minority party is doing about all he can do. Schumer is not going to drag the MLB commissioner in for questioning. There are other GOP senators doing less.
To: MountainWalker
And a couple doing more. Cruz and Lee are going to introduce a bill to takte MLB’s antitrust exemption away.

The other side fights with agitators, protestors, etc and our side sends letters.

Keyboard warriors are indignant.

Actually, going after Manfred personally for something like Augusta is a nice tactic. Just need the Governor of Ga. and some others to pick up that refrain. Start calling out all these woke CEO's individually for their personal activities that don't respond to their corporate "wokeness."
If we want to discourage corporations going woke, we have to go after the people making these decisions and make their personal conduct and choices a public issue.
I like it.
To: 1Old Pro; ChicagoConservative27
“Exactly, we’re too nice. We need to send a thousand protestors to his office. Then follow him around with cameras for another month.”
Agreed. If the CEO were a Republican, the Democrats would be demanding that he be stripped of his membership at Augusta. All of these left-wing corporate leaders need to be exposed for their hypocrisy.
To: ChicagoConservative27
I give up. What was Manfred’s response?
