Back in May: MLB’s Woke Politics Strikeout

MLB has a banner week for toxic, woke politics | Washington Examiner  "The sports world’s embrace of toxic social justice politics never ends, with last week being Major League Baseball’s turn to embarrass itself.


"In the aftermath of the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays used their Twitter accounts to focus on gun violence during their game on Thursday. The Yankees earned the mockery of Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) after they referred to Hispanics as “Latinx,” the made-up word used basically only by white liberals who have decided that the Spanish language must be altered for purposes of inclusion.". . ."The sports world’s embrace of toxic social justice politics never ends, with last week being Major League Baseball’s turn to embarrass itself.

. . ."Then, there was the most troubling social justice pandering, courtesy of the Detroit Tigers. According to Nate Hochman at National Review, the Tigers will be celebrating “Pride Night” on Wednesday, and they are allowing fans to contribute to gay and transgender groups when purchasing tickets for the game. Among the groups that the Tigers are financially promoting are groups that provide irreversible gender transition surgeries for children too young to consent.

"Teams and athletes pretending to be political experts expose their own brazen hypocrisy at best or support damaging fringe policies at worst. Major League Baseball managed to cover the entire spectrum in the span of one week. Given the fawning media praise for such stupidities, nobody in the league is likely to walk away from their uneducated political advocacy anytime soon."
