His employers are the owners of each franchise. Just the same as me going to work every day but having different political views than my employers. I just doubt that he spoke with the owners before making the decision. If anything, most of the owners likely put their hand over their face and thought "why do we have to step in this?"

Ironically, in the vacuum of our legislators, corporations have begun to stand up. An increase in the minimum wage is overdue... corporations have taken the lead.

Many of the franchises are owned by ownership groups. The Braves made it very clear that they did not support or endorse the decision. They are owned by Liberty Media, headquartered in Colorado. I don't know of anyone on the right that really cares if the game is moved or not. I don't like the bill, but my problem with the bill isn't disenfranchisement of voters. It simply doesn't do that. The dangerous portions of the law surround the removal of the Sec of State from election oversight in favor of a political appointee. Will MLB now review every state's election laws? Of course not. Georgia's voting access is much more voter friendly than many states, including New York, NJ, Deleware & Virginia, to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but for the general public to see those actions as anything more than pandering to one group or another, they must have merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj3jordan 2,051 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I saw black dude on a tv news show, possible fox news as a guest who claimed an example of systemic racism was that there were many more shades of pantyhose for white women than there were for black women.

I was talking about the individual here; for example, if you are learning a skill and are critiqued for doing something wrong you have two options. 1) take responsibility and analyze if that critique is genuine and do something about it, or 2) blow it off because you do not believe the criticism is honest and never self analyze to see if the information is true. If you are talking more broadly, as in politics, we live in a society that does not honor taking blame and apologizing as a virtue. Hence the cancel culture.

auskip07 930 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 systematic racisim is a system, governed by a set of rules or laws that disproportionately effects a certain race of people. Common claim of systematic racism is black speeders who get pulled over at a higher % than white speeders. Of course people usually cite a study that claims that that white people speed just as much as black and they use this as concrete proof that systematic racism exists. Well, not so fast. How fast were they speeding (there is obviously a difference and threshold for officers to give tickets over a speed limit) Does your vehicle catch more attention than the typical passenger vehicle, Vigilance during driving if you blow past an officer doing the limit yea they will pull you over. There are too many factors to point to one study to say that this is a clear cut case of systematic racism and they ignore the fact that they were actually speeding. basically in most claims of systematic racism boils down to "I got caught doing something and i take no responsibility for my actions so it must be racism but i cant point to one specific person or action of a person who is being racist" so it must be systematic racism. im sure ill get some thumbs down and post offering no real evidence of systematic racism but i dont care. If there are real cases of this i will stand with those affected but i wont accuse someone of being a racist because they dont agree with me.

No I'm talking more that it's to a point where things can literally be caught in 4k and people will still say something like it's not racism. I think it's hilarious people have become more of protectors for people who get cancelled as opposed to standing up and saying no that's wrong we won't tolerate racism......but go Tigers!!
