From Atlanta to Denver: Are You Going to the All-Star Game

     So, it looks like the Major League Baseball All-Star Game will go to Colorado.  How are you 

feeling Denver?  In another time, you'd be excited.  All-Star Games are a ton of fun.  It's a wild time of 

autograph hunting and hanging out with pals.  However, judging by Spring Training reports, the 

autographing will probably be non-existent and who really knows if pandemic hysteria will even let a 

lot of people go to this event.  With all of that being said...

    This game should've never been moved out of Atlanta.  Why?  The principle that's why.  Sports is 

meant for fun and as a lifetime baseball fan the social justice aspect of baseball disgusts me.  It's bad 

enough that managers have taken the literal fun out of the game with shifts, changing pitchers every 

other inning and just getting away from fun of the game.  And don't even get me started on the how 

those nets  make you feel like you're watching the game in the box.  Just for the record, I don't give a 

damn if  they're  used to them in Japan.  I'm not in Japan, obviously, and I'll never embrace those rotten 

nets.  Compared to ten years ago, the sport is turning into a yawn.  Since I got the pretense out of the 

way, let's get back to the main issue.

    Politics is ruining a sport that's easting itself.  Aren't a lot of you getting tired of millionaires

screaming at you every 5 minutes?  A person who spends most of their day working hard and

trying to make a better life for themselves doesn't want to hear that they're racist every single time

they go to a ballgame.  Baseball used to be a place to just relax and the sport better go back 

to that and realize that Twitter isn't an audience.  If it doesn't it will eat itself alive.  Will I feel bad if 

that occurs?  Absolutely.  Baseball is a big part of my life but will I laugh at it?  Yeah, because 

sports has been warned many, many times by a lot of people.  Politics and sports do not mix 

and it will catch-up with them soon.
