Unfortunately most people are so addicted to their entertainment and brands, that they aren't strong enough to vote with their pocketbook. So speech discrimination persists.

Interesting how once you move away from following pro/college sports, it becomes kind of silly in retrospect.

The idea of guys (or worse, their girlfriends/wives) wearing a piece of clothing with another man's name on it is just weird.

And worshipping one group of millionaires in your city that may well move to another city to play for the enemy is objectively dumb.

Absolutely x 3.

I liked baseball when I was young, but it lost me as the trades and free agency became rampant. It became empty brand names, kind of like politics.

Then they get what they deserve. Or maybe they would also like to take the "victim" position. Not my problem. We have stopped following MLB, NFL, NASCAR ("noose incident"), Hollywood productions. The last NFL game we saw was Walter Payton's last game in 1988. We have not been in a theater since 1998. Vote With Your Money and Your Feet!!

PS, our lives are much fuller and richer without all those fantasies and twisted realities.

Super! You bailed the on idiocy and woke-ism pretty early.

That NASCAR noose business was especially pathetic. I was shocked to see them roll over for such stupidity, particularly knowing that the noose is an equal opportunity choker of humans, since pre-history.

I think you are beating a dead whorse. ;-) A better solution is Vote With Your Money and Your Feet!!

We were big Cubs fans for years, 2nd generation both me and wife, following both of our fathers. When the cubs sold out to the elite, and they took cubs off of WGN America, we left baseball for good. Have not seen, been to or followed MLB since.

If MLB wants to kowtow to the queer crowd, let them. Vote With Your Money and Your Feet!!
