Watching the ASG as it was meant to be played … in Atlanta. Go Chipper! Go Big Cat!

Didn't watch a second. Don't know who won. Don't care who won. If Freddie or GAPOZ won the game for his team, that's cool, I guess, but neither stood up for what's right, at least as far as I know. I think a little less of each of them now for that. I'm liking sports less all the time, and between the All-Star BS and Acuña's injury, I just don't really give a sh/it right now.

I watch sports to get away form politics and other B.S. from this world.
When they drag politics into the way they have, screw them. It really does have a long term impact on me. If they want to be political, I can find way better use of my time and I've been on that path for awhile.
By the way, the only sport I know of that has done a good job avoiding the nonsense is the NHL, kudos to the way they've handled all this stuff. Basically ignoring it all like they should.

MLB Reveals It's Plan to Increase Baseball Diversity
Idiots. Manfred is a complete and utter fool. He's one of those people who has lived in such a bubble his entire life that he knows absolutely nothing about the real world.

I like the comparison to the NBA. Funny how it’s ok that 80% of their players are black. I mean I’m totally fine with that but then don’t complain about baseball.

I could 'splain to Manfred that the vast majority of young black kids in this country simply prefer and are generally better at football and basketball, but he wouldn't understand. Both of those sports also offer a much quicker route to the big bucks. Maybe the dumbass could understand that.

EFF Manfred and MLB for taking away the tribute to #44 away from the city of Atlanta.
I will never buy another piece of MLB merchandise and never spend time watching anything other than the Braves.
Just FU, Manfred. If I were to ever see you I will say it to your face, you stupid woke prick.

Amen. There are certain markers I can point to that were significant in me watching fewer and fewer sports as time has gone on, and this whole "woke" phase and BLM phase for baseball and the moving of the All-Star game without even understanding the damn bill is massive. I can't believe it hasn't stopped me from watching baseball, it just shows how much I love the game. But all the same, subconsciously I can feel it slipping away. For a lot of reasons. But this All Star game thing is going to be the straw that broke the camels back for me, it's just a matter of time. I'll never get over this, because baseball has no damn business pandering to any politics in any way. If I ever see Manfred I'm going to tell him that and then slug him in his vagina.

I didn’t watch either, but I did see the tribute to Hank and this was a crime the game was not in Atlanta. Baseball had no right to move the game or get involved politically. Also, those uniforms are the worst, let the players wear their teams uniform.
