Hopefully cities will put performance requirements and penalty clauses in their contracts for sporting events in the future. Sure, there will be "acts of God" like hurricanes or Chinese biowarfare which require cancellations, but the sports leagues should pay through the nose for cancellations based on political differences or players' strikes.

Although I do have a problem with the $100 million estimate. The stadium holds a little over 40,000. That's an estimate of $2,500 per person. I think someone is pulling numbers out of his backside for that.

There’s European countries that might be socialist, but they don’t have 40 million violent apes in every city.

They just have the Muslim call to prayer and jihad five times per day.

And I’ve heard that Colorado’s voting laws are more restrictive than the new law passed in Georgia. So baseball’s attempt to make a political statement isn’t even factually correct, in moving the game based on the alleged racism and bigotry of the new Georgia law.

Those “violent apes” are Americans too, and almost all are kind and decent people. Meanwhile our Government imports Somalis and Muslims by the tens of thousands and turns a blind eye to illegal immigration. Many have no plans to adopt the American way of life.

When MLB looks in the mirror it sees BLM.

I love baseball and my favorite team. Haven’t watched any in the past two seasons because they’ve gone over to the dark side.

I punish baseball by streaming my two favorite teams games into my home using an illegal streaming service. Not only do I not give them any revenue, I'm actually costing them revenue.

I won’t give the WOKE players the satisfaction of watching them. They are dead to me.

Well, the Wokerati don't care about facts, just virtue signalling.

Caring about facts is another mark of White Supremacy.< /sarcasm>

MLB struck out on America, not “black America”.

There are plenty of black people playing baseball. They just happen to be from the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Puerto Rico.

**This voter integrity measure has been attacked for allegedly denying persons of color the ability to vote.**

i.e. Black people are too stupid to register and vote.

Stupidest thing I have ever read on FR.
Come here to Philly, or Baltimore, or Camden, or Chester, or Wilmington...

I turned my back on MLB the first time the Dodgers, a team I had been following for sixty years, took a knee during the National Anthem.
