    So are GA GOPs gonna boycott Baseball now?

      I'm surprised that MLB did this...but I'm proud of them for taking this stance.

        The guy I used to sit next to at work was a huuuuuuuge Seahawks fan. After Colin K. He gave up watching any NFL games.

          I don't think so. Because only namby pamby liberals would ever boycott anything. That's just the "cancel culture" from the left, no??????

            I always wondered how Liberals could be namby pamby tree huggers singing Kumbaya and at the same time be dangerously violent antifa cleve enough to run the deepstate from the basement of a pizza joint.

              This does create quite the dilemma for the racist baseball fan. Which side do they choose?

                and now a GA Lawmaker introduces a bill to remove MLBs anti trust status and in related bullshittery, another GA lawmaker is trying to take back Deltas tax breaks after the CEO criticized the Suppression bill.

                Oh what the GOP has become--it's embarrassing.

                  I haven't watched an NFL game (not even the Super Bowl or NFL Network) nor played fantasy football since Kaep's last season.

                  (Actually, that's not true. A few years ago I was visiting family for the holidays and talking with my father-in-law who had the game on. On another occasion, we were visiting friends who are huge Cowboys fans and of course the game was on.)

                    And so begins the courtship of MLB by big league cities to host the game.

                      Alicia Gwynn is organizing a Bring the AS Game to Petco Park drive.

                      Why not?

                        Kansas City makes a lot of sense, they could really drive home the point by highlighting the Negro League HOF located in KC.

                          Except Missouri also has voter suppression bills circulating in the state legislature.

                            Barack Obama on Saturday congratulated the league "for taking a stand on behalf of voting rights for all citizens."

                            Donald Trump on Friday called for a boycott of baseball and all of the "woke companies that are interfering with free and fair elections."

                              I guess Diaper Don thinks that boycotting baseball will make America great again.
