The National Pastime

For John, BLUF:  Payback can be satisfying.  Georgia hsd the All Star Game snatched from its hands as people pushed the Agenda of the Progressive Democrats.  Now what?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Georgia Gets Last Laugh Over Woke MLB

From PJ Media, by Reporter A J Kaufman, 24 October 2021, 1:12 PM ET.

Here is the lede plus four:

The Atlanta Braves are headed back to baseball’s World Series for the first time since 1999 — and since sports and politics so often mix, it’s a slap in the face to President Joe Biden, woke Democrats, and Major League Baseball’s clueless leadership.

As the 2021 season got underway nearly seven months ago, pro baseball’s ignorant commissioner caved to Twitter mobs and an uninformed White House’s pleas that the All-Star Game be moved out of Atlanta as part of a specious campaign to slander Georgia’s voting law.

Moments after the Braves finished off the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday night, Gov. Brian Kemp rightly castigated MLB and the conspiracy theorist he defeated in 2018 for the snub:

While Stacey Abrams and the MLB stole the All-Star Game from hardworking Georgians, the Braves earned their trip to the World Series this season and are bringing it home to Georgia.

Back in April, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred caved to partisan politics and progressive hysteria within mere hours by relocating the Midsummer Classic, plus the sport’s annual draft, due to the state’s innocuous new election laws.

Is there any shame out there?

Does anyone recognize irony?
