GQP Trumpublicans Battling The More Ethical MLB...

 Principles matter. Voting matters. MLB is absolutely right to pull the All Star game from Atlanta. The state of Georgia is acting like a racist state because its republican lawmakers are racist . They introduced voter supopression (2021 Jim Crow laws) legislation for the specific purposes of makingvoting much more difficult. Esecially for minority and disadvantaged communities. The republican denials notwithstanding the facts are republican lawmakers in the state of Georgia (as well as elsewhere) are petrified that they just might lose their centuries old white priveledge, So, to the State of Georgia repuhlican legislators (as well other red states), Suck It Up Buttercups cause the nation is changing. And it isn't in your racist bigoted direction.

On the article by The Hill.


Republicans are spoiling for a high-profile fight with MLB as they ramp up pressure on the league’s commissioner to reverse a decision to pull the All-Star Game from Atlanta over Georgia's new voting law.

GOP lawmakers are publicly scrutinizing Commissioner Rob Manfred’s membership at Georgia’s exclusive Augusta National Golf Club and threatening to take away MLB’s long-held antitrust exemption.

The fight is quickly spreading to other states as well, with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) saying he won’t throw out the first pitch at the Texas Rangers' home opener after MLB adopted “what has turned out to be a false narrative about Georgia’s election law reforms.”

“It is shameful that America’s pastime is being influenced by partisan politics,” Abbott tweeted.

Conservative writer and radio talk show host Erick Erickson, who is based in Atlanta, called on other Republican governors to follow Abbott’s lead.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) took a shot at soaring ticket prices at expensive ballparks like Yankee Stadium, where the average ticket price last year was $145, according to Statista.com.

“If needing to show an ID to vote is racist, perhaps NY Yankees tickets that average over $100 are discriminatory? Will ‘woke’ @MLB mandate free tickets to allow equal access?” Paul tweeted.

A couple hours later, Paul suggested a Republican-wide boycott of professional baseball.

“If @mlb is boycotting states that pass Republican election integrity laws, maybe Republicans should boycott Major League Baseball?” he tweeted.

The suggestion came after former President Trump on Friday urged his supporters to “boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections.”

There ya have iot folks. White supremacists wanting to drag the USA back at least one hundred years, and for them, preferably to a full blown return to Jim Crow. Immoral, unjust, and inhuman.

GOP strategists are confident that the MLB fight is a winning issue for Republicans.

“It’s good politics,” said Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist.

“This is not the last time the Democrats are going to try to do this, bully corporate America into taking their side,”...

So, if any corporation is actually doing the right thing it automatically means to the lying republicans they are being bullied? More Trumpublican harsepuckey for the faithful sheeple of the GQP (aka Q-GOP).

Vote all the GQP Trumpublican SOB's out of office and send them back home to marinate in their irrational fears.
