Major League Baseball is so bothered by Georgia’s non-racist new voting bill that it is moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta. Major League Baseball is also so comfortable with the genocide in China that it just struck a deal with Tencent to stream MLB games in China. MLB is quite proud of this new streaming deal, locking it up until 2023.
Let that sit for a bit, then read on.
Tencent is one of the Chinese firms that dropped NBA games in 2019 because then-Rockets GM Daryl Morey said he supported human rights in Hong Kong. Strict rules with those guys.
MLB will not shut up and pitch if a state requires voter ID, but it sure will when it comes to the genocidal Communist Party of China. At least, as of last week.
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio crushed these MLB decisions on Twitter, asking, “Why are we still listening to these woke corporate hypocrites on taxes, regulations & anti-trust?”
Sadly, woke corporate hypocrites are making most decisions these days. In fact, they are making all decisions in sports.
The NBA should have been a warning to all businesses. If you bow to both the far-Left and China, your consumers will turn away from you. The NBA’s unwavering support of China Chairman Xi cost the league half of its audience in the Finals. That’s what happens when decision-makers lack a backbone. Don’t follow their lead.
On Fox & Friends, OutKick’s Clay Travis spoke about what sports fans should do in reaction to MLB’s idiotic decision:

On his new podcast, Will Cain made the point that sports fans aren’t the ones making the decision, that sports are boycotting them:
“Sports are boycotting average Americans.” – @willcain.
100%. The NBA was the first and its rating hit all-time lows as a result. https://t.co/2iHDPZYEyQ

My advice to MLB: let the NBA ruin its business alone. My advice to the rest of the country: speak out against the Communist Party of China and its inhumane treatment of people, both citizens and noncitizens alike.
Yeah China has taken over our sports leagues…that’s the only rationale I can see as to why they are willingly destroying themselves in this country.
Yep they have all become useful idiots
some day the real truth about selling out to China.
i watched ‘the Martian’ again and in that movie, China saves American lives. in fact, they are our only hope.
in the movie 2012, all the ARKs are built and launched in China.
the new Godzilla movie destroys Hong Kong.
i could go on and on.
in the 1980’s our movies painte the Soviet Union as Obtuse and the Enemy.
China is worse than Russia and they are portrayed in movies like heros.
even the movie ‘midway’ portrays China as our Friend.
they are not our friends.

China SHOULD have been a friend, but the communists won because we blindly helped all Chinese forces to fight the Japanese.
Yep if it wasn’t for us they all would be speaking Japanese they were getting their ass. kicked big time so much for thanks
its all about money. period. They can see attendance declining and television ratings declining due to a bad or outdated product they put on field.
So they went ahead and alienated their remaining fanbase, which at this point probably leans much more right-wing than other sports fanbases. Brilliant!
Eff MLB… Bottom Manfred and the top Chicoms can go fuck themselves…
Figures. MLB is run by idiots like the NBA. It would be nice if an owner stood up against communism and genocide, but alas no…… too sad.
