Americans have tolerated this to an extraordinary decree. They largely stayed silent when repeatedly told America is “systemically racist” and that the remedy is to abandon the color-blind ideal in favor of color obsession.
The hope is that it's just tolerance. My fear is that it's surrender - we've been deluged with accusations that we're all racist for so long now that we may simply have given up resisting it.

Leftists hate everything that has to do with “America” and our past “traditions”. That includes sports and they will co-opt and destroy it any way they can. It’s a win-win for them....use it for propaganda and destroy it at the same time.
The only way to bring baseball back is starting a new league of conservative owners, players, fans.

They were dead to me after the strike. I can’t help in this one.

Still watch a bit of Golf and Ice Hockey......0 of the rest.

I used to follow professional sports, including the off-seasons. Now I loathe professional sports and assiduously seek to avoid it. Overpaid, pampered and wholly ungrateful millionaires. A pox on it all.

showed no regard for the sanctity of the gameI cried when the Giants moved to San Francisco, but I'm not sure "sanctity" is a word I would use for an organization that allows a designated hitter.

I love baseball.
I don’t want to see MLB suffer.
I want to see the creeps that tarnished the baseball enterprise thrown out and banished from the game for as long as they live.

We’ve “tolerated” every conceivable perversion, the destruction of marriage, men pretending they are women, “cancel” culture akin to Nazi brown shirts, outrageous vote fraud, stolen elections, outright hatred of 2/3 of the country because of their white skin, trannies giving “story hour” to little children, endless rioting and destruction of cities, staggering doubling of national debt overnight, extreme wokeism, and far more.
And the author takes hope that baseball is a bridge too far? Really?

Professional sports was always there to take your eye off the real ball (Government). So they could screw us every which way but loose.
