A recap...Rob Manfred moved the All-Star game from a majority black city to a majority white city in a state that has more restrictive voting laws than Georgia. :?

:lol:

Chances are that if Manfred isn't already, he will be in the great state of Georgia this very week enjoying the privileges that come with being a member of the extremely white and very conservative Augusta National Golf Club. :rofl:

The optics of this fiasco are utterly amazing. :clap:
If they were going to move it, why not to Milwaukee where Aaron started his career.

So companies are pulling out of Georgia over a minority position. Smart business. :lol:
Not as smart as United hiring pilots based on demographics and not who can fly the god damn plane the best. :dunce: :lol:

Itrs easy to teach people to fly an airplane, harder to teach them how to fix one.

Its clear MLB hates freedom and black people.
-GA signs a bill that expands voter rights.
-MLB moves the All Star Game from a majority black city to a a majority white city with more restrictive voter rights.
-signs broadcast deal with firm in Communist China.
Only in America. :rofl:

I mean conservatives have already lost most minorities, women, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, scientists, celebrities, unions, social media, mainstream media (except Fox), sports organizations, our global allies...might as well add corporate America to the mix too.

Instead of shifting with the times and giving people what they want (aka. democracy), they just make it harder for people to vote.

The GOP stands for nothing at this point. The DNC/GPUS/LP at least have ideas, whether you disagree with them or not.

Trip's partially right that "The GOP stands for nothing at this point." The GOP while still culturally conservative has lost it's fiscal way.

Team Brown is a monolithic block who will blindly vote how the Democratic Party tells them to vote! Views regarding hard work, religion and keeping a fair share of what you make be damned. ;)

Not sure I buy that one completely. We have a good amount of pilots that like to fly by checklist instead of through airmanship.

Our military really feeds the airlines some great pilots.

Military pilots are officers, Houndierror doesn't like officers, therefore flying is easy.

I have a case of that today. There are two possible inside match scenarios that would be even, but if I get one of the guys, we are unbeatable.
