Remember When the MLB Was American?

 

From Ivan Pentchoukov writing in the Epoch Times (behind the paywall):

Major League Baseball had extended and expanded its contract with a Chinese telecommunications giant shortly before boycotting the state of Georgia over the league’s disagreement with the election reforms recently enacted by the Peach State’s democratically elected governor and legislature.

And this from Michael Ruiz at Fox News:

Major League Baseball is protesting a democratically passed Georgia voting law while bolstering ties with a Communist Party-backed Chinese company that cracked down on an NBA executive who supported the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.

“Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box,” league commissioner Rob Manfred said announcing the decision to pull this year’s All-Star Game out of the Peach State Friday.

He said protesting Georgia’s new GOP-backed election integrity law was “the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport.”

The MLB has gone from mainstream one man one vote values to the one man holds all votes values of Xi’s CCP. American integrity slain at the altar of American avarice. They should start transferring the teams to CCP cities now, they have no business doing business with free men.

    Doesn’t MLB require ID to get into MLB games?

    I do not think so.

    You’ll have to show ID if you order your tickets “will call.”

    Yes, when it’s important that the document (ticket) is given to the correct person (buyer), an ID is required. Just like when a ballot is given to the legal voter.

    There is no getting around it; “will call” is a racist construct.

    Many years ago the Phoenix Suns weighed in on the border debate on the open borders side. People pointed out that they frown on people sneaking into their games.  These woke corporations don’t seem to think through their positions and how it relates to their business operations.

    If I sneak into Harvard, they owe me an education, right?

    That about sums up how the woke folk behave in general.
