Fans Are Tuning Out on Woke Sports

 

USA News and Politics  "Last Friday, after President Biden, left-wing activists, and the national media spent weeks peddling lies about Georgia’s new voting law disproportionately impacting people of color, Major League Baseball (MLB) commissioner Rob Manfred caved to the radical mob and decided to move this year’s All-Star Game out of Atlanta.

"In the name of equality, Manfred’s decision will cost Atlanta, a city with a 50 percent black population, an estimated $100 million in economic losses. The game will now be held in Denver, Colorado, a city that is only 10 percent black. As nonsensical as Manfred’s decision was, no one should be surprised by it.

"Over the past few years, it has been fairly obvious to any impartial observer that the higher echelons at MLB, along with those in charge at the National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA), have made a conscious decision to alienate a large percentage of their fanbase by conceding more control of their sports to the demands of social justice warriors and the tyrannical Left.

"“Silence in the face of injustice is unacceptable,” Sam Kennedy, the Red Sox President and CEO said last year in the wake of the George Floyd protests. In addition to now displaying “Black Lives Matter” on the bleacher seats and on the Green Monster at Fenway Park, Kennedy and the Red Sox have created a “Social Justice, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Committee” that seeks to conduct a “bias audit” of its HR policies, “enhanc[e] ballpark messaging related to racial and social justice causes,” and partner “with an organization with expertise in racial equity and restorative justice.” Many teams have taken similar actions.

"But those in power in the sports business world may soon come to regret their woke decisions, which have begun to alienate fans." . . .

Climate "Emergency"...The next wave of leftist propaganda is hitting America's shores

. . . "Scientific American, a thoroughly woke magazine, convinced multiple major media outlets to reframe "climate change" as a "climate emergency."

Andrea Widburg   "On Tuesday, Project Veritas released a video showing a CNN technical director named Charlie Chester who cheerfully spilled the beans: under the leadership of Jeffrey Zucker, CNN is a pure Democrat propaganda outfit that worked hard to get Trump out of the White House.  With that mission accomplished, it's going to change its propaganda to pushing climate change because "fear sells."  Also on Tuesday, CNS News reported that numerous news sites have promised that, henceforth, they'll be calling climate change a "climate emergency."

"In the Project Veritas video, CNN technical director Charlie Chester explained with great specificity how CNN played the game.  CNN's game isn't reporting the news in an unbiased fashion to help educate people.  Instead, its job is to support Democrats.  "Look, what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out."

"When it came to anything Trump, the point was to paint a negative picture.  Thus, a shaking hand was a neurological disaster.  "We were creating a story there that we didn't know anything about.  That's what — I think that's propaganda."  CNN did the same in reverse for Biden, hiding the decline and showing him as a "young geriatric."

"CNN has a new plan now that it's succeeded in getting Biden into the White House?  Chester explained:" . . .

If CNN is corrupt and devious, isn't MSNBC at least corrupt?

Gaetz Turns It Around on CNN Journo After Network Exec Says Their Coverage of Him is "Propaganda"   "CNN has breathlessly covered purported allegations of sexual misconduct against Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and the FBI investigation into said purported allegations, and now, thanks to Project Veritas, we know that a great deal of that coverage is driven by a desire to destroy Gaetz. CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester said the network is “going to keep running those stories to keep hurting him,” because “He’s a problem for the Democratic Party because he’s so conservative.”

"As my colleague Bonchie covered, Chester said that CNN’s “focus” in the 2020 election “was to get Trump out of office” and that Chester and his colleagues were “more than keen to take credit for putting Joe Biden in the White House.” Chester even went so far as to add a bullet point to his now-deleted LinkedIn account claiming he “played an integral part in the 2020 Presidential elections.” . . .  Much more on this CNN-Matt Gaetz story here: Gaetz Turns It Around on CNN Journo After Network Exec Says Their Coverage of Him is "Propaganda" – RedState

WATCH: Leaked Video Shows CNN Director Admit s Matt Gaetz Stories Are Democrat Propaganda. (thenationalpulse.com)  In a stunning admission, Charlie Chester admits, “If the agenda say, is to like get, like Matt Gaetz right now, he’s like this Republican. He’s a

problem for the Democratic Party because he’s so conservative and he can cause a lot of hiccups in passing of laws and what not. So it would be great for the Democratic Party to get him out.”   

 "Chester then admits, “So we’re going to keep running these stories to keep hurting him and make it so that it can’t be buried and just like settled outside court just and like, you know, if we keep pushing that, it’s helping us (CNN).”

"The news comes one day after CNN published demonstrably false information about Rep. Gaetz soliciting a meeting with President Trump. No meeting was sought, and both parties denied it, but CNN – true to Chester’s words – kept the story on its front page for 24 hours." . . .

CNN staffer caught on tape admitting network tried 'to get Trump out of office'

“Our Focus Was To Get Trump Out Of Office”

Youtube: A CNN staffer has been caught on camera admitting the network tried to undermine Trump during the 2020 election, calling his own employer a "propaganda" outlet.  "Charlie Chester, a technical Director at CNN, was secretly filmed while on a series of fake Tinder dates with a woman who was an undercover journalist for right-wing group Project Veritas.

"Mr Chester, who was filmed without his knowledge, said the network helped defeat Mr Trump.

" 'Look at what we did, we got Trump out,"Mr Chester said.

" 'I am 100% going to say it. And I 100% believe it that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got voted out."

"Project Veritas released the full secret recordings on the group's YouTube account.

"Conservatives have slammed CNN and claimed the tapes showed the network's endemic bias against Republicans.

"CNN has not yet released a statement regarding the story, nor has the network confirmed if Mr Chester is still an employee."

Project Veritas caught a CNN director telling the partisan truth  "Every conservative who's ever watched CNN has known with certainty that the media outlet is acting as a propaganda arm of the Democrat party.  However, when we point that out, we get gaslighted.  We're told that we're paranoid, that we can't distinguish facts from our delusions, and that we're sore losers.  That's why conservatives reveled in Tuesday's Project Veritas video drop because it vindicated them completely.  Charlie Chester, CNN technical director, openly revels in the network's "propaganda" to "get Trump out of office."

"Sadly, when CNN talks, people still listen.  The mere fact that Joe Biden is in the White House, despite a storied career of lies, plagiarism, vulgarity, viciousness, creepiness, and continuously bad foreign policy decisions, tells you that the people who voted for him (and there were real, legal voters who did vote for him) were on the receiving end of some heavy-duty indoctrination.

Latest Assault on Tucker Carlson Over Replacement Theory Backfires

The American Spectator

ADL’s Greenspan, CNN’s Lemon wind up targeting progressives. 

"You can’t make it up.

"The other day, Fox’s Tucker Carlson had the nerve — the nerve! — to make the points quoted below in a discussion with Mark Steyn. The topic: replacement of voters and one culture with a population of new voters and another culture. Said Tucker (bold print for emphasis supplied):

I’m laughing because this is one of about 10 stories that I know you have covered where the government shows preference to people who have shown absolute contempt for our customs, our laws, our system itself and they are being treated better than American citizens. Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term “replacement,” if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World. But they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening actually. Let’s just say it: That’s true …

If you change the population, you dilute the political power of the people who live there. So every time they import a new voter, I become disenfranchised as a current voter. So I don’t understand what we don’t understand cause, I mean, everyone wants to make a racial issue out of it. Oh, you know, the white replacement theory? No, no, no. This is a voting right question. I have less political power because they are importing a brand new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that? The power that I have as an American guaranteed at birth is one man, one vote, and they are diluting it. No, they are not allowed to do it. Why are we putting up with this?

""Like clockwork, Tucker’s left-wing critics attacked. Here’s the headline from the Washington Post:

ADL demands Fox News fire Tucker Carlson over anti-Semitic trope: ‘This has deadly significance’

"The story focused on the remarks of the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive and national director of the ADL (and, no accident one suspects, a former operative in both the Clinton and Obama administrations). Mr. Greenblatt told CNN’s Brian Stelter that “I think we’ve really crossed a new threshold when a major news network dismisses this or pretends like it isn’t important. This has deadly significance.”

"Also on CNN was my former colleague and anchor Don Lemon with a similar attack on Tucker. Said Don:" . . .

NCAA won't hold championships in states that bar biological males from competing in women's sports

 The Christian Post  "The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced that states with laws or policies prohibiting transgender-identified biological males from competing in women’s sports will lose opportunities to host championship events and tournaments.

"The NCAA Board of Governors released a statement Monday stating that it “firmly and unequivocally” supports “transgender student-athletes” being able “to compete in college sports.”

“ 'Our approach — which requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women’s sports — embraces the evolving science on this issue and is anchored in participation policies of both the International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee,” stated the NCAA.

" 'Inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport.”

"The statement explains that NCAA policy “directs that only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination should be selected.' ” . . .

Renaming-Obsessed San Francisco School Board Should Rename Harvey Milk Elementary

 legalinsurrection  . . . "Another San Francisco school that’s crying out 

Obama's hero

for renaming is the Harvey Milk Elementary. Yes, there is an elementary school in San Francisco named after the member of San Francisco Board of Supervisors who was romantically involved with a
string of troubled teens. One of Milk’s young lovers, Jack Lira, committed suicide while living with the aspiring First Gay Mayor. Milk was nonplussed. In Cult City, Daniel J. Flynn notes that in a few short weeks after the death, Milk moved a new lover into the apartment where Lira took his life. 

"Milk, of course, was no children’s rights advocate. As families were fleeing the pre-AIDS San Francisco, then Supervisor Diane Feinstein raised a stink about exhibitionists taking over the city and proposed confining porn stores to designated areas. Milk campaigned against her solution which in his opinion was “something out of the 50’s,” and “19th century moralistic.” The horror! 

"Milk’s celebrated activist career and short tenure on the Board of Supervisors are highly controversial.

"He was an early practitioner of canceling, with his targets being the anti-gay crusaders John Briggs, and Anita Bryant. The Jewish radical frequently used Holocaust analogies to evoke a sense of urgency behind the gay rights movement. " . . .

Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council wrote, “Milk is famous only for winning one election, being murdered — and having sex with men.” Nevertheless, Milk has been celebrated with an opera, a 2014 postage stamp, a state holiday, a children’s picture book, and was played by Sean Penn in a movie of his life in 2008. He posthumously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for some reason from Barack Obama in 2009.

 Big Three CENSOR Study Saying Biden’s Corporate Tax Hikes Will Cost 1M Jobs in 2 Yrs | Newsbusters  "The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news networks ignored yet another major economic report slapping down President Joe Biden’s ridiculous corporate tax hike plan as disastrous.

The study projected that a corporate tax hike from 21 percent to 28 percent — in addition to other items like increasing the top individual tax rate and reinstating the corporate alternative minimum tax — “would result in less economic activity and 1 million jobs lost in the first two years.” But that’s not all. “The average annual reduction in employment would be equivalent to a loss of 600,000 jobs each year over 10 years,” the study’s summary reported. So much for Biden’s recent assertion that “[t]here’s no evidence” his corporate tax hike would hurt the economy." . . .
