Yeah, we are guilty of fake news too. My point is still valid. If enough of us quit giving them our money, these sports leagues would change their tune fast. The fact that they haven’t proved that we didn’t and won’t stop.
I just saw another source that said when you include promotional giveaway tickets, it met the threshold to be considered sold out. So I might have just spread some fake news myself.
Yup. This is why I think it is better if we slowly start separating from conservatives in the traditional sense. We're patriots. We need to teach these brain dead conservatives why they need to be patriots otherwise we won't have a fucking country anymore.
We already know Trump people largely don't care about the scamdemic. That many people at a baseball game is kind of different, you know. Especially since baseball just pissed off Republicans so if anything this is a less Republican crowd.
MLB is making dumb ass decisions moving the all star game but the rangers organization is openly defying the whole pandemic no gatherings. So you have to hand it to the rangers for moving forward from the bullshit pandemic
I didn't even fill out a bracket this year, and I used to be someone who took vacation days off work to watch the first round of the tournament.
Got some beers with a few co-workers last night and had no idea the championship game was on. I asked someone if it was live or pre-recorded and they thought I was joking. I wasn't.
Cities are packed to the gills with millions and millions of the stupidest, sissiest, gayest faggots in the entire country, Cities are fag magnets and Texas is no different that anywhere else.
This. member how the biden win was announced on the same weekend as the covid vaccine? And on Monday the crapola journalists just said all stocka market movement was for joey?
Make a big social justice mess right before opening day, then claim all the tickets (that sold before you went crazy) are BECAUSE of your stupid tweets.
If just half of these sportsball heads and their newfound freedom showed up to the state capital to demand constitutional carry, and to finish the fucking border wall, maybe Texas would finally get it. But no, they are here to sUPPort Muh tEam and stuff. Fucking morons.🙄
Yep, and Abbott’s trying to uncuck as hard as he possibly can, but WE remember you feckless sunafabitch. Why isn’t the national guard guarding our nation Greg? 3 per mile with M4s?
Kind of a weird situation here. Bad that they are giving baseball business....but good that they are gathering in large numbers so we can "get back to normal" again
Fuck every one of these useless games. Overpriced everything creating artificial corporate tribalism so a bunch of fat pussified men can take credit for the athleticism of other men.
Go throw the ball with your kids. Stop wasting thousands of dollars on stupid shit like this.
Be active. Get a mountain bike, throw the ball around....anything other than stuffing your face with garbage while you watch players mince around the field.
Agree. I never understood the appeal. I like pure athletics as in personally participating in weightlifting, running, and field events. I never felt a need or grasped the appeal of sitting around passively and getting worked up and somehow emotionally involved watching random people playing ball games.
Thanks to MLB's little All Star Game stunt my parents finally cut the cable cord. They're in their mid seventies and I've been working on them for at least two years. Thanks MLB.
To be fair, yesterday was probably the best weather day DFW will have this year. That combined with a new billion dollar stadium the taxpayers funded...why not go?
I think most people have no idea what's going on in politics nowadays. I doubt half of those people would know MLB had moved the all-star game, let alone that it was because of a voter id law.
Or maybe baseball was ours first and we won’t let pussy woke CEOs take away the thrill of the game. The whole point of this woke conversion isn’t to change baseball and sports but to destroy our American way of life. Work a good solid job all week then take the kids out to game on the weekend. Are we really going to just let lefties take that from us? I’m not even a baseball fan but we’ve been boycotting companies for the past ten years and nothing has changed. Boycotting is bull shit. Time to aggressively take back what is ours.
And by your logic, you should really consider just boycotting America altogether, throw in the towel it’s 99% woke at this point. If you stop participating in America it will eventually come crawling back to you right? That’ll teach them, hit ‘em right in the pocket book.
I pretty much have withdrawn from mainstream America. It's uninteresting and generally pretty evil. There are some exceptions I make, which would make me a hypocrit I guess. Like using the internet in any form. But no cable, no sports, no movies. I mean, oh no, I can't pretend to enjoy mainstream American culture. Boo hoo. It's degenerate filth.
A baseball game is not degenerate filth. If I took my kids to a texas rangers game if anything I would be adding a fun family memory to their upbringing. We would stand for the anthem. We would sing , we would spend quality time together. We would support other hard working Americans trying to sell hotdogs and peanuts and supplement their incoming after a hard year. If there was an alternative conservative major sports league we would gladly support the alternative. I think time would be better spent by conservatives by creating alternatives rather than boycotting life in general.
Yeah, true. Your kids can watch sports "heroes" take a knee. They can see that an organization that hates white America is mainstream and accepted by that same white America. Then we can wonder why everyone suffers from white guilt and the country is going to shit.
I can also use the moment to teach my kids what a dickhead certain players are instead of shielding them from the world. Explain to them how some people mis use their freedoms to spread propaganda. Teach them how to spot propaganda for themselves and to critical think. Show them other players who stand and how they understand their freedom came at a price and they aren’t being oppressed by their million dollar salary and enjoying their passion of playing a fun game. I can then take my kids to their own little league games they are involved in our hometown and apply some game skills they picked up from watching some pros. The country isn’t going to shit because my all American family is going to baseball games. The country is going to shit because the left cheated and stole everything we love and the best we can do is cross our arms pout and say that’s not fair we don’t want to play anymore while we sit at home and they continue to infiltrate every sector of our lives. We got here because dems don’t sit out. They overtake. I’m willing to push back, go to a game in a pandemic without a mask and live my f-ing life while not shielding my kids to the propaganda around them but instead to teach through it so they can spot it themselves when they are adults.
I like where your head is at but you have to realize you'd be an exception. The easiest, most efficient way to stop the globohomo agenda is to just rid it from our lives. You can't argue that it's a fact you will make a significant impact by going to these events and explaining things to your kids. I can argue the fact that if all conservatives in America boycotted this shit, it would all change overnight.
And man, it's all fine and dandy to say you'll have more of an impact on your kids, but the propaganda is strong. It's little things. And it never stops. It's not worth the risk IMO.
Most older Republican voters don't understand the idea of a political boycott. These folks aren't onTwitter/FB, they aren't seeing the censorship, so to them it's a non-issue.
This topic came up at my Easter dinner. Every one of my older relatives is a Republican, and not one of them is going to give up MLB, or Coke, or anything else.
They've lived their entire lives in a country where corporate Fascism wasn't a thing, at least not out in the open. They don't have the mental tools to process this stuff.
wait a second though... liberals are going to games right now to show support for MLB. That is very short lived. And, this is the home opener which is always a big seller.
As the liberals stop paying for seats, their stands will be 1/2 what it used to be. They will have a short bump of people who are not fans. They abandoned, I'd say, over half their actual fans who will no longer go to games.
I hate feeling like this, but I can't wait to start seeing these teams having a hard time making payroll, players being cut, wages going down. They will be going in to survival mode. Unfortunately, I'm sure Biden will bail them out to make sure these mega-millionaires continue to get their millions, just so long as they spread communism.
I have to disagree here. Look at all those people not wearing masks, enjoying life, and giving a big fuck you to the branch covidians. I think the stance against masks and tyranny is more important than boycotting the MLB. Let's get rid of the masks and tyranny first and then focus on who to boycott.
A lot of people have no life without sportsball. It's kinda sad, to be honest. I've always been too busy with working or enjoying my life to worry about that nonsense.
It also surprises me how wound up people are in that shit when it literally doesn't matter. Like I've seen grown men fight over the dumb shit, plus or minus a few beers.
That's a leftist nerd cringe phrase that you shouldn't use. Ever. You weren't good at sports? Fine. Stop shitting on others who were and who enjoy them. Stop being a cringey fat leftist fuck and stop using their stupid faggot words.
Thank you for saying it for me. I read sportsball I picture the person who wrote it as the fattest fucking slob coated in grease and zits who struggles walking to the fridge to get more mountain dew.
Was this the first game with fans allowed back in? If so not really a surprise it sold out. It probably could have sold out twice over. It’s what happens to attendances once the novelty of ‘omg we’re allowed to do something’ has worn off.
I feel like boycotting sports is another shill loser position honestly.
Look at the accounts. It’s the same people telling us to not vote and to hate the police.
We have full majority control of these leagues. Why give that up because there’s a couple retards at the top.
This isn’t the FBI nonsense where Hannity defends a majority of idiots in DC.
Outside of the NBA something like 70% of the players know this is bullshit. And certainly the organizations up to and maybe including many owners know this as well.
We need to identify and root out subversive social Marxism when we can and these sports leagues are great opportunities to be battlegrounds for change rather than just surrendering.
It's not a sport. It's a game. A kid's game. Even more boring than soccer.
Any of the players that you might call "athletes" are not in shape because baseball, it's because they are proficient at lifting weights and humping their Peloton. Some are just slobs. Ghey.
Like most media, it's whole purpose is to distract you.
Abbott still should have thrown the first pitch but made a political statement. Put on a Voter ID matters shirt. Boycotting that accomplished nothing. The game went in without him. You have to be in the arena to win.
At the same time I like Texans rubbing their freedoms in other states faces.
Rub freedom in the face of your enemies by supporting mega corporations 🙄
Yes it sucks but I'd rather based states get supported through tax money than cucked teams dictating legislation.
This is why I’m so black-pilled. Too many of us conservatives won’t learn our lesson. Either that woke SJWs are the only baseball fans in Texas.
Conservatives can’t help watching felons run around aimlessly for four hours.
Just go to east Arlington
Just go to DFW. FTFY.
Country is over, bro. Just try to take care of yourself.
It’s fake news. It wasn’t sold out, but all seats were available to purchase. The person who tweeted this fell for the media’s typical word games.
Also, this wasn’t in their full sized “Ballpark in Arlington. It was at a smaller stadium next door.
Also, I agree that everyone who went is a cuck.
Yeah, we are guilty of fake news too. My point is still valid. If enough of us quit giving them our money, these sports leagues would change their tune fast. The fact that they haven’t proved that we didn’t and won’t stop.
I just saw another source that said when you include promotional giveaway tickets, it met the threshold to be considered sold out. So I might have just spread some fake news myself.
Seeing as they can put fake people in the stands how do we know these are all real people?
SJWs wouldn't fill the stands like that, they're too scared
Yup. This is why I think it is better if we slowly start separating from conservatives in the traditional sense. We're patriots. We need to teach these brain dead conservatives why they need to be patriots otherwise we won't have a fucking country anymore.
I was a season ticket holder for 10 years, gave my seats up 3 years ago. Fuck woke corporations.
Tbh, this is somewhat a good sign. A show of defiance against covid restrictions and make freedom an envy to all those blue shills in blue states.
Were fighting many fronts at once. Lets take the victory that the people of texas can rub their freedom in the face of others.
What's a nonwoke large gathering we can watch for success?
Trump rallies now.
Yes. Also UFC is back to full crowd events this month.
We already know Trump people largely don't care about the scamdemic. That many people at a baseball game is kind of different, you know. Especially since baseball just pissed off Republicans so if anything this is a less Republican crowd.
Not necessarily. The majority of people, including Republicans, are barely paying attention and don't realize they should be pissed.
James Coates + John MacArthur US stadium gospel tour?
Not to mention the lowest case numbers since June after 3 weeks of the mask BS ending
Unfortunately NPCs just repeat and believe what the image voice box says at 5pm.
Unfortunately NPCs just repeat and believe what the image voice box says at 5pm.
Lol name checks out.
MLB is making dumb ass decisions moving the all star game but the rangers organization is openly defying the whole pandemic no gatherings. So you have to hand it to the rangers for moving forward from the bullshit pandemic
Pro-sports are dead to me.
Me too.
I include the NCAA in this as well.
I didn't even fill out a bracket this year, and I used to be someone who took vacation days off work to watch the first round of the tournament.
Got some beers with a few co-workers last night and had no idea the championship game was on. I asked someone if it was live or pre-recorded and they thought I was joking. I wasn't.
Cities are packed to the gills with millions and millions of the stupidest, sissiest, gayest faggots in the entire country, Cities are fag magnets and Texas is no different that anywhere else.
Yup. Complete faggotry in Austin>Dallas>Houston>San Antonio.
Communists stay the fuck out of East and West Texas. You are not welcome here.
Those tickets were purchased before the MLB attacking on voting in GA.
This. member how the biden win was announced on the same weekend as the covid vaccine? And on Monday the crapola journalists just said all stocka market movement was for joey?
Make a big social justice mess right before opening day, then claim all the tickets (that sold before you went crazy) are BECAUSE of your stupid tweets.
But after the BLM religious service that kicked off last season's opener.

https://jimheath.tv/2020/07/opening-day-boston-red-sox-embrace-blm-with-huge-billboard-next-to-fenway-park/
But they attended afterwards.
No refunds
Well is this about the money or the principle?
Sold out stadium full of dumb sheep and people addicted to a kids game!
Temporary heroes!
Sports is number one.
Sports is number one.
Go, team!
Score a goal for game match!
umm excuse me, it's called a "goal unit" thankyouverymuch
rofl
Are you prepared for the occurrence of some SPORTSBAAAAALLLLL?!?!
If just half of these sportsball heads and their newfound freedom showed up to the state capital to demand constitutional carry, and to finish the fucking border wall, maybe Texas would finally get it. But no, they are here to sUPPort Muh tEam and stuff. Fucking morons.🙄
Yep, and Abbott’s trying to uncuck as hard as he possibly can, but WE remember you feckless sunafabitch. Why isn’t the national guard guarding our nation Greg? 3 per mile with M4s?
Allen West for Gov.
Kind of a weird situation here. Bad that they are giving baseball business....but good that they are gathering in large numbers so we can "get back to normal" again
libs were for sure mad about this. "look how close they are together!!!"
Fuck every one of these useless games. Overpriced everything creating artificial corporate tribalism so a bunch of fat pussified men can take credit for the athleticism of other men.
The saddest thing is to see an overweight middle-aged white guy wearing one of those stupid ass jerseys like they're "part of the team".
Stop watching it and start playing it
Go throw the ball with your kids. Stop wasting thousands of dollars on stupid shit like this.
Be active. Get a mountain bike, throw the ball around....anything other than stuffing your face with garbage while you watch players mince around the field.
Exactly!!
Watching sports has always been exactly as gay as watching Twitch streams.
Agree. I never understood the appeal. I like pure athletics as in personally participating in weightlifting, running, and field events. I never felt a need or grasped the appeal of sitting around passively and getting worked up and somehow emotionally involved watching random people playing ball games.
Try MotoGP
Texas may ne red but the big cities are still cesspools. Many of my liberal friends are baseball fans.
Won’t be red much longer fren, :(
Thanks to MLB's little All Star Game stunt my parents finally cut the cable cord. They're in their mid seventies and I've been working on them for at least two years. Thanks MLB.
To be fair, yesterday was probably the best weather day DFW will have this year. That combined with a new billion dollar stadium the taxpayers funded...why not go?
I can agree...besides, I think people are freaking tired of being told they can't leave their homes.
Great, give the MLB more money to interfere with politics with. Sigh, fucking sigh.
I think most people have no idea what's going on in politics nowadays. I doubt half of those people would know MLB had moved the all-star game, let alone that it was because of a voter id law.
Or maybe baseball was ours first and we won’t let pussy woke CEOs take away the thrill of the game.

Time to aggressively take back what is ours.
This is always the excuse. Just keep cucking to show you're a rebel, I guess? Might as well vote Democrat to show that the left can't have that party!
And by your logic, you should really consider just boycotting America altogether, throw in the towel it’s 99% woke at this point. If you stop participating in America it will eventually come crawling back to you right? That’ll teach them, hit ‘em right in the pocket book.

Real freedom includes the freedom to be wrong.
Yeah. Maybe take the money you would have spent at the stadium and use it to organize an amateur sandlot series in your neighborhood.
Boycott MLB, Support Non-MLB leagues.
lmao and look at all the comments here defending this behavior.
Most older Republican voters don't understand the idea of a political boycott. These folks aren't onTwitter/FB, they aren't seeing the censorship, so to them it's a non-issue.

Bread and Circuses are the way in the decline of Rome.
Seriously, its shit anyway. Knock it off.
Nuvo Texas is rising, Cuxas shall be the new name in a decade.
Austin + Illegals = Blue Texas
This is what drives me crazy about Adam Corolla. Dude is 90% Based and redpilled, but slobbers over sports nonstop. Maybe it's a blue collar thing.
If people were starving and scrounging for food and shelter there would be no wokeness.
Don't worry we'll be there soon.
No different than the "Boycott Fox News, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Tucker Carlson" among many others. It never happens.
Bread and circuses.
How dissapointing Texas of all places damn it people wake up
wait a second though... liberals are going to games right now to show support for MLB. That is very short lived. And, this is the home opener which is always a big seller.

I'll never support again, so there's that

Thank you for saying it for me. I read sportsball I picture the person who wrote it as the fattest fucking slob coated in grease and zits who struggles walking to the fridge to get more mountain dew.
Or twiggy fucks that never put on muscle when their balls dropped.
But mostly ham-planets.
Duh! Muh team dat daddy loved! Derrrrrrrr!
Give them wine,song,dance and now sport and the Lemmings forget about everything.
Was this the first game with fans allowed back in? If so not really a surprise it sold out. It probably could have sold out twice over. It’s what happens to attendances once the novelty of ‘omg we’re allowed to do something’ has worn off.

Right? Fuck people for wanting some escape or distraction from the constant demoralization. What a bunch of assholes.
Yep. Time to give things up, people
This is sorta of Texas thing though.
"sportsball"
It's not a sport. It's a game. A kid's game. Even more boring than soccer.
Any of the players that you might call "athletes" are not in shape because baseball, it's because they are proficient at lifting weights and humping their Peloton. Some are just slobs. Ghey.

It's like a crack addict who vows not to take another anymore. Every. single. day.
Fucking retards so tired of this shit. Just give up sports already.
Watching strangers play sports has always been for the retard. Nothing new here.
Opening day. They probably bought their tickets weeks ago. It’s a long schedule. Let’s see where it trends.
Sportsball... a bunch of worthless bullshit where people pay money to watch grown men dress up in a costume to play a child's game.
