Glad MLB pulled stakes in Georgia, now, please, do it everywhere

So the anti-cancel culture club wants to cancel major league sports, because its franchises and players support voter rights over anti-voter laws and legislatio­n.

Most of the supporters of anti-voter rights have a long suspicion of illegal votes being cast, especially so since the 2020 presidenti­al election.

Again, there were no findings of election fraud. I am a lifelong sports fan and wholeheart­edly support canceling sports events for this reason.

Baseball is boring. For far too long the Major League Baseball owners have stuck their collective hands out to the taxpayers and have been well rewarded.

Of course, players benefit as owners receive revenue, and they in turn are overpaid.

So I am in full support of driving major league sports out in their current form. One boycott usually leads to an opposing force and in my world it would be a boycott of all things Fox — local, entertainm­ent, sports and national broadcasts would be boycotted.

How much audience can Fox afford to lose? I like it a lot. Let’s play ball.

Mr. Manfred, if you can’t pitch in Georgia, maybe you shouldn’t putt

Rob

Manfred

withdrew

the

Major

League Baseball All-Star game from Atlanta. He is a member of the Augusta National Golf Club. He should withdraw his membership if he thinks they are wrong holding the Master’s tournament in Georgia.

If not he is a hypocrite.
