MLB Survey Asks Fans if They’re Republicans or Democrats
Breitbart ^ | April 23, 2021 | Jacob Bliss

Posted on 04/24/2021 5:11:05 PM PDT by be-baw

Major League Baseball (MLB) is now questioning fans about political affiliation in their new post-game survey about the ballpark experience.

MLB is under new scrutiny as a new survey shows fans are being about political affiliation in a ballpark experience in a post-game survey. In a report from National Review, MLB claims the questions asked regarding political affiliations are “part of the extensive fan surveys MLB is conducting this year around the ballpark experience.”

The league claims the surveys are for are to try trying to “gain knowledge about fan perceptions, preferences, and behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.” Of course, according to a recent poll done by Morning Consult, it was found, their favorability levels have completely collapsed within the Republican base.

For pro-sport Republicans, rating collapsed 35 percent, down from 47 percent to 12 percent in only a month. The poll showed the MLB used to have the “highest net favorability rating among Republicans of the four major sports leagues before the All-Star Game decision,” Morning Consult noted.

My first thought is that Republicans would be more likely to fill the seats, since ‘we’ aren’t afraid. However, Republicans may not to be hassled with the mask requirement. Interesting... .

Pro football and pro basketball were extremely easy for me to give up. Baseball not so much. I keep tuning in to the Mets, especially when deGrom is pitching.

I’m still good with college football and basketball, as they’ve kept the BS pretty well bottled up.

They go wrong just by asking. They feel compelled to politicize the sport. Done with those losers.

Why would they publicly release these numbers? It seems like something they’d want to keep internal.

“COVID”. The new universal excuse for anything that’s gone wrong.

Why do they even bother with such transparently obvious lies?

They should just ask an honest question: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you hate the MLB for going woke? (1 = intense ‘go to hell’ hatred; 10 = mild dislike).

How many fans will they lose if they go full BLM Wokie Woke. They are too dumb to know they already lost most Republicans.

I think they mean it dropped 35 percentage points.

There were overwhelmingly more Republicans in their stands than Dems. They now know they screwed up pandering to move the All Star game out of Atlanta. They better get the taking a knee thing straight and get that drama queen stuff off the field, or what’s left, is gone

I used to subscribe to mlb.tv and got the survey. I gave all insane answers, including being democrat, feeling unsafe due to how many white male fans there were, all kinds of crazy. It was a fun 15 minutes for me.

So long MLB! I admit I will miss you for a while, but I’ll get over it. As Philip Marlowe said, I’ll have a few bad nights but I’ll get over it.
