Went to a Cub game last night. I know, MLB, but it was a last minute opportunity to share a night with some of the very best people I know. And besides, I grew up going to Wrigley and am sick of them taking everything from me including my fond memories of childhood, most of which was a lie. I am rationalizing that I am taking all of my shit back. Infiltration.
Full capacity almost NO MASKS. People were having a blast. It was as if 25k people just learned they weren't terminal after all. ONE Jumbotron shot of some idiot who had masks on his kids and for a second the audience fell eerily quiet. Then back to normal people. It felt like a collective silent "Eww" hard to explain. Bonus was Cubs player #17 Kris Bryant was MVP (announced in the 4th inning?) There were 17 shirts everywhere, felt like Kismet.
I have mixed feelings about this. Yes, the team belongs to the enemy, BUT a packed Wrigley Field, with no social distancing and masks, is very therapeutic to put some dents into the mind control messages of the past months on MSM.
I was a baseball fan for over 60 years, I gave up on them a little bit back with their first strike, and slowly gave up more over the years as it became apparent MLB was corrupt.
Astros fan, was in the Dome when it opened, saw Mickey Mantle hit the first homer in an exhibition game before the season opened. Saw Nolan Ryan toss a no hitter later, used to go to a lot of games.
I remember Cubs fans trying to reverse Goat Curse us, tried to give us y'all's Goat Curse. I saw the Kissing Bandit get arrested, one time her lawyer told the judge she didn't mean to get onto the field she merely leaned over the fence and because she's so top heavy she fell, it was gravity.
Anyhow, with 60 years' investment in ball I dropped them. You can do it too - do not support the Enemy, let them wither.
No excuses, this War is real.

Yep, same other than the team, I gave up when they went on strike the 2nd time. My family member was involved with the MLB back in the early years as a scout. We used to get free tickets once a year after he retired and we'd go as a family. My Dad was a fan until he died, not knowing what I know now. I am glad he never experienced what we know as it would have broke his heart to learn these things about his country/govt.
I am glad my Mom and Dad died not knowing it all too, tho my Dad knew government was corrupt, he just didn't know the background facts we do. My Mom was a Yellow Dog Democrat, thought FDR was her Hero, wouldn't hear a bad word about clinton. She was a big 'Stros fan tho.
Back in the 60s coca cola had a thing in Houston with the 'Stros, probably all the clubs. They gave 6 free tickets to kids with straight A report cards, you signed up and showed your report cards and there it was. I wanted those tickets when I was in junior high, so I kept my grades up above 95 to be sure I got those tickets. The program ran for about three years and I scored every year. My Dad was always working so my Mom would take me, she wanted to go as much as I did. I can still hear her laughing at Joe Niekro getting caught with sandpaper in his pocket out on the mound. He was a knuckleballer, Umps were always after him and as they walked out to question him he flung out his hands like who me, except you could plainly see the emory board flying away.
Baseball has always 'cheated', spitballers or stealing signs, sure. Go back to the Black Sox even...
But underneath it was always a fans game back then, not so today. I've never liked them cheating the immigration system for instance, but they always did.
Even Nolan Ryan was part of it, the corruption, unwittingly. As he was waiting to see if he was drafted to play ball he was drafted to go to Vietnam. When his agent called him to report to, think it was the Mets, he told them he'd love to but Unca Sam said report to camp. His agent told him to hold on and then called back later, the Army was no longer interested in him, corruption. I don't really fault Nolan there but Hmmmm.
Anyhow, yeah the shiite we know that I sometimes wish I didn't.
will you still support baseball players when you find out they rape torture kids.
Do all of them?
There are good people and then there are bad people in all walks of life.
This is very important to remember. Not everyone is part of the club and/or there are various degrees of membership (literally).
There will be some that are just as surprised as the rest of us. There will be some that thought they were just part of a cool secret gang, never knowing the evils deeper in. There will be some that became a part of it, even though they didn't want to, recognizing that "this is just the way the world is," but fought it in their own way at every step. There will be those in that category that later worked to break the system from the inside (DJT, JFK and many others are likely members of this group).
There is nothing black and white here. The real world is a very messy gray area of good v. evil, both between groups, between people, and inside each of us. When the truth comes out, hopefully we can keep our heads and mete out justice with a true understanding of the scope of the tools and evils used to coerce, and without hate or vengeance in our hearts.
The guy who did Out of Shadows for example. He was around evil all the time and didn't even know it.
Sometimes the armor of god is put on you without you knowing it, to protect your mind, because god has a plan for you at a later time.
Agree. I remember the part of the documentary where he talks about replaying things that he heard that struck him as odd, but he didn't know why. I am paraphrasing (a lot) but I have had that feeling so many times.
I imagine pro sports figures must get there by real talent more than being part of a club.
This is one of the more ignorant comments I've seen in a while. I can not support the MLB for obvious reasons, but to blanket label the players as pedos, that is dumb.
Now that is something I haven't heard before. Can you provide some links?
My Father was a huuuge Cubs phan. My Brother & I took the ESPN Wrigley tour back in 2000 and at the end of the tour they let you walk around the park. So we spread some of Dad’s ashes in Left Field. Weird thing, as we did it a couple hundred crows flew down from high behind Home Plate-top of Stadium and swooped right over us...maybe 30-40 feet above us. My Father was an artist and often painted crows in his work. True story.
That's wild! Stuff like that happened often after my Dad passed.
We were like, WHOA.
MLB supports BLM and Antifa.
And you support them and fund them.
#changemymind
Excuses. No self control. We are at war and you are aiding the enemy.
People are waking up slowly, Hell the local news did a story on vac side effects last week, someone they new died from it.
It will turn real fast once one of the elites are actually doing a perp walk.
Stopped watching all sports in 1993 when baseball went full tard. I figured back then if baseball willing to do something so stupid, just a matter of tine before they all went full tard. Took a while, but how right i was.
Yeah all because it was allowed. Pussies would have wore masks if required.
Soon as someone coughs too loud and they put the next version of fauci on tv the stadium will be on lockdown and all th chuckleheads supporting mlb will be hiding with masks on
MLB is dead to me. I will NEVER look back.
Don't apologize for doing something that you love. I think they WANT us to stay away, so it's more of a fuck you to them to go even with all their woke bs.
