Monday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” former Major League Baseball pitcher David Wells sounded off on polling, showing a drop in MLB popularity among Republicans after the league decided to move its All-Star Game out of Georgia.
The move came in response to new election integrity laws.
The two-time World Series champion said changes brought on by “knucklehead” Commissioner Rob Manfred have already turned him off of watching MLB but said the All-Star Game change “put the icing on the cake.”
“[M]oving this All-Star Game to Colorado just really put the icing on the cake for me

He is 100 percent right. I don’t care if they NEVER play another NFL, NBA or MLB game. And I am NOT alone.
And as more colleges and the EVIL NCAA get more woke, I am caring much less bout college sports. And I am not alone in that either.
Wake up idiots before you completely destroy your businesses.

#1 is absolutely correct. He is not alone.
We gave up on the NFL and NBA a few years ago. MLB joined them last year. And college sports also joined the "woke" club last year. We are no boycotting (since that is a temporary stoppage). We are done with them. And we don't miss them at all!!!

YEP. And the bottom line will reflect it, whether "they want to see it" or not.
Hope they financially crash and burn.

What's sad is that according to conservative Aubrey Huff, 80% of Major League ballplayers are conservative and hate the PC crap. Not like the NFL and NBA illiterates.

Baseball season has started?
I'll probably view the World Series highlights on the news.
No viewing during the interim.

I don't like the commissioner, the owners, the players, the coaches, the announcers, or the sponsors. I don't watch people I don't like. Take your gripes, your politics, your endless commercials, and get out.

Wells came to San Diego in 2004, hoping to finish up in his hometown. (He didn't) but watching him bat for the first time in a decade was always entertaining. By that point in his career, all he wanted was three pitches near the strike zone so he could get back to the dug-out. On one occasion he even swung at what looked to be a pitch-out.

Game over for this lifetime Dodgers fan. So sad. Not unlike a death in the family but we can no longer abide MLB. Incompetent MLB Commissioner Manfred's contemptible All Star Game move out of Atlanta was just the final straw.

I'm with #16. I sent men home under that flag. I'll be d#%&*@ if I will watch anything that disrespects it. NCAA has been my go to sports since the NFL went woke, but now they're gone too.

Start by being more respectful of America, then maybe people will start going and watching again. You allow MLB to get political in one direction, the left, and insult half of America and then you expect people to love you. Not going to happen. I, and a lot of my friends, will not watch sports any time soon. I'm offended, how about that.
