MLB: Dumbest decision ever?

Let us count the ways…
============

1. Provoked by the Biden Declaration … which the WaPo fact-checkers gave:

… and allowed the Babylon Bee to headline:

MLB: ‘We Will Not Legitimize Georgia’s Racist Election Law
By Reading It To See What It Says’

=======

2. Denounced by all Georgia politicos … bipartisanship, including Stacey Abrams — the self-proclaimed “legitimately elected” Georgia governor.

======

3. Induced head-scratching for the eroding MLB fan base: mostly old, white, working-class, men.

======

4. Spotlighted the under-representation of black players.

=======

5. Announced during the opening week of the season … effectively stepping on all the season starting hype and excitement.

=======

6. Set off a tweet storm by leaking Denver as the replacement site for the All-Star Game

======

Oh yeah, and don’t forget the MLB’s policy re: All-Star balloting that we featured yesterday:

Flashback: MLB victimized by voter fraud …… and responded by taking the vote away from fans!

Great post. Sharing this one far and wide. Sums up the lunacy quite nicely.

And, does this mean I don’t have to show an ID to board an Atlanta-based Delta flight? Requiring me to show an ID is the height of racism!

I think we should launch a “Recall Bob Manfred” campaign!
