Former President Donald Trump fired a high, hard fastball at Major League Baseball on Friday night, urging fans to boycott the "national pastime" over its decision to pull this year’s All-Star Game from the Atlanta area.
Trump asserted MLB’s leadership was "afraid of the Radical Left Democrats," claiming the party pressured MLB to relocate its mid-summer game because of Georgia’s new election law, recently signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.
The former president also took aim at large "woke" corporations that issued statements against the Georgia law.
"Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans," Trump wrote, "and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections.
"Boycott baseball," Trump urged, "and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!"

💥BOOM!💥
Let’s do it!
Trump can give us the unity to counter the China-supported “woke” narratives.
He’ just keeps giving and giving- like the Energizer Bunny.
Thanks Mr. President but I quit following MLB 2 years ago after my Seattle Mariners had ‘gay family night at the Ball Park’, screw that evil crap!
Take a page out of Sharpton and Jackson’s playbook by calling for boycotts and money for his PAC.
Done Mr. President!
MLB parks better pray EBT can be used.
Professional sports, in general, need a wake-up call from their former fans.
MLB is certainly on that list now.
Perfectly said.
Communist China, a police state with no voting and no freedoms, is OK with MLB
Georgia, which ISN’T a police state, HAS voting and HAS freedoms, is completely unacceptable
No wonder people lose more respect for baseball each day
* Politics is killing sports *
Well, you're in Seattle. Seattle is a "gay" city.
Hell yes
General Trump
That’s my POTUS.
No, Seattle was my long ago hometown, way back when it was conservative. Now it is a lost cause.

TALKING POINTS
<><>Major League Baseball (MLB) operates a player Development Center in Communist China.
<><> MLB is relocating their All-Star Game from Atlanta, Georgia, merely because Georgia’s residents must use an ID to vote due to a newly passed state law.
<><> MLB’s Development Center in Communist China has been focused on academics, baseball, and the social and cultural development of each of the participants to come through the doors, their website reads.
<><> MLB Communist China’s focus is to nurture the needs of COMMUNIST Chinese student-athletes, and produce well-rounded and well-prepared individuals for opportunities that might include the continuance of their academic pursuits or a playing career upon the graduation of high school, the initiative continues.
<><> MLB removed their All-Star Game from Atlanta, Georgia after the Georgia State legislature passed an election integrity bill to limit the number and location of drop boxes, reform voter ID requirements, and early voting access statewide while modernizing the state’s voter rolls.
Here is a summary of the changes to Georgia’s voting laws.
Which one of these things does MLB find offensive?
-Absentee ballots would be verified based on driver’s license numbers or other documentation instead of voter signatures.
-Ballot drop boxes would only be allowed inside early voting locations and available strictly during business hours.
-Weekend voting would be expanded for general elections, with two mandatory Saturdays offered statewide. Counties could also choose to offer early voting on two optional Sundays.
-Early voting for runoffs would be reduced to a minimum of one week because runoffs would occur four weeks after general elections.
-The deadline to request an absentee ballot would be set 11 days before election day.
-Members of the public would be prohibited from distributing food or water to voters waiting in line.
-The State Election Board could remove county election boards and replace them with an interim elections manager.
-A hotline to report illegal election activities would be set up in the attorney general’s office.
-Counties would be required to certify election results within six days, instead of the 10 days currently allowed. Election workers would also be required to count ballots without stopping until they’re finished.

I am not a Baseball Fan.
However, if you are, I encourage you to boycott your area Pro Team.
Many other productive things can be done during those time slots
going forward.
Love it!
The first time the Dodgers took a knee I burned my cap and swore off professional ball for good.
Ours too!
Stay safe and ready!
