Will Major League Baseball now end its engagement with nations that do not hold elections at all like China and Cuba? Will you end your lucrative financial relationship with Tencent, a company with deep ties to the Communist Party and actively helps the Chinese Government hunt down and silence political dissidents? Since Major League Baseball now appears eager to use its "platform" to demonstrate "unwavering support" for fundamental human rights, will you cease your relationship with the Chinese Government, which at this very moment is committing genocide against the Uyghurs Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR)?
MLB has gone woke; America's pastime has become un-American. They've caved to the radical Left and pulled the All Star Game and the MLB baseball draft from Atlanta in pathetic opposition to the Georgia State Legislature doing its job, mandated by the U.S. Constitution, to secure honest voting in their state. Unfortunately MLB will leave, in its woke wake, millions of baseball fans who refuse to go along for this tyrannical ride. That goes for Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines, too, who have joined with MLB in singing the left-wing chorus of "voter suppression" in Georgia. (But not allowing elections at all in Cuba, and murdering people in China, seems to be just fine with MLB.)
These organizations may be about to discover that they've made a terrible mistake. People can be pushed around just so far before they punch back. Plenty of people are furious and ready to fight as best they can. I, for one, will do my part.
Baseball is a thing of the past for me, at least until this terrible wrong is set right. I will not spend a single cent on baseball. No tickets to games, no tee shirts, no ball caps--nothing, nada. And that's just for starters.
The many companies owned by Coca-Cola are linked here. Some of them are among my staple items and are quite a surprise to me. I won't be buying Minute Maid or Simply juices any longer. Dasani bottled water is the usual choice at my office for stocking the break room refrigerator. However, as luck would have it, I'm the one who places that order. Bye-bye, Dasani, and look out Crystal Geyser--there's a reliable, recurring large business order coming your way.
I don't recall ever flying Delta, although during 40 years of travel it's possible that I've taken one or two of their flights. What's not possible is that I will ever do so again.
Maybe MLB, Coca-Cola, and Delta don't care that millions of Americans are about to drop them like hot bricks. Perhaps they are all counting on China picking up the slack. Good luck with that, woke and cowardly corporate totalitarians. And goodbye.
