    Bye bye Baseball

    In all likelihood the New York Yankees and Mets will be moving out of New York. New York's voting laws found to be much more restrictive than Georgia's.

      The World Turned Upside down. No Coke for me or flying on Delta, or watching the NFL, NBA or MLB.

        "...NFL, NBA or MLB..." Them and the NHL are a bunch of arrested adolescents being paid millions of dollars to play a children's game.
        Spelling and grammar count!

          Sir, You are correct. The support of these is an embarrassing reflection of societal priorities.

            Haven't watched any of the pro sports in years. Don't know why, but now I have a really good excuse not to watch them.

              Which is why professional sports has never had any attraction for me.

                When the NFL players started kneeling it ticked me off. When the NFL allowed it is when I boycotted and still am. Boycott in the sense of not shelling money out of pocket for fan wear or tickets.
                Former season ticket holder for quite a long time. Then just picked up seats when the urge hit or an offer was made. No more. The NFL misses me as much as I miss them. No love lost on either side.

                Its a shame the kind of pressure MLB is bowing to. They used to have bigger cajones than that.

                  Remember to let the sponsors now. And there's always the Minor Leagues-or watching the kids play.

                      Appreciate the warning and consider your words well heeded. However, in this particular case I wouldn't want to be wearing your moderator hat. Personally, I see this as one of those grey area things waivering between political and social issues.

                        it's been a while, but I do sometimes get notes from past regulars that they don't visit this site due the political crap,

                        so, I move them if they get just a bit political
