Baseball has also gone insane with other stuff.

They've been hanging BLM and Pride posters on the outfield walls all season for years.

I remember reading stories shaming the Yankees into holding a LGBT Pride night because they were the last holdout to do so annually.

The league has also gone all Keystone cops with MeToo allegations. They have Trevor Bauer, an all-star pitcher, banned for over two years over sexual assault and battery allegations dug up by activist sports journalists that never had enough evidence to ever lay charges. And yet, even though there's no legal issues left, the league continues to prevent him from working simply because of his politics.

Baseball also moved their All-Star game out of Atlanta, Georgia to Colorado a few years back because of insane leftist screeching over a completely unrelated and hyperbolized voter ID bill that they claim "disenfranchises Black voters", very similar to how they smeared DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida.

Then there's the fact that they've allowed Toronto to play at home in Canada despite Trudeau enforcing unvaccinated border controls on athletes, forcing the entire Toronto roster to be vaccinated and forcing opposing US visiting teams to out their unvaccinated players on their rosters each Canadian road trip and leave them at home, making a mockery of the idea of a level playing field.
