    I refuse to watch any sport that caters to woke propaganda. They can kiss my ass.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

A lot of these "children" are older teens. Send them back to their home countries, its not up to us to save the entire world.
    I don't know what the hell this has to do with me.

    Meanwhile parents need to pay child support to their kids in the United States until they are 19. There has to be some semblance of consistency there. No one is asking us to be the savior of the entire world. Just the opposite in many cases. But we cannot treat kids (under the age of 19) of other countries any differently than we treat our own. That would just make us hypocrites because after all these are kids who are sent to this country for a reason.

    I mean if I was a parent in a country where I believed my child was at risk of murder or forced conscription I would absolutely do the same thing they are doing. Any parent with a love for their children would do the same. The idea that we turn our backs on these kids who are fighting for their lives is simply reprehensible to me.

    Any other discussion to the contrary is simple political rhetoric.

    By the way this is the most the All-Star game has ever been talked about so MLB is probably super happy that they will actually get some ratings as a result this year....
    Crawling in bed with the Chinese, is political whether you deem it so or not Mr. Contrarian. Coddling our mortal enemies is no longer acceptable.

    Another one who has no idea what the term "contrarian" means. The Chinese are doing what they do. Just like we do what we do. It's going to be hard for you to reconcile the idea that the Chinese are our "mortal enemies" when they are our largest trading partner.

    This is political show and nothing more.

    Meanwhile look up the definition of "contrarian". Something tells me you'll learn something...

    I admit I never even considered the Chinese sellout model until now. But it does make some sense as the Japanese have been baseball fans for decades.

    Pickle has been on the same Soap Box since this scandal began.

    Of course MLB has a profit motive, but that does not make them immune from making serious mistakes. Did Ford not make the Edsel and lose Millions? Or how about the New Coke?

    The truth is they listen intently to left leaning Sports Media, and they do not represent the Wokeness of the fan base as MLB may believe it to be.

    In an ideal America we go back to producing the best products and services (including professional sports teams) and let Fans decide their own politics.

    Who built the cages originally? Who is putting kids in those cages today?

    Who invited those kids here? biden created the mess, if Democrats now can't take the criticism or own the problem........tough toenails!

    Nobody's going to tell us who the parents are. And yeah, I'd rather pay for that, than them being here mooching for the rest of their lives.
