By Samuel Strait, Reporter at Large – October 24, 2021 While many die hard sports fans have tuned out from all major sporting events due to the "political posturing" by millionaire sports icons, it is important to note that some important lessons in life can still be learned from those in sports that are ignorant of their collective arrogance. Sports Media, MLB CEOs, and Commissioner Manfred must be horrified by the results of the baseball divisional playoffs that have Georgia playing in the World Series against Texas. You know, those two reprehensible places that passed voter ID laws that make future elections much fairer. Seems like it was just a few months ago that Commissioner Manfred nearly burst a blood vessel over Atlanta, GEORGIA, being the site of the up coming mid summer classic All Star game. Couldn't possibly have a significant MLB event in such a "RED NECK" state that would seek to disenfranchise voters in an election by making them prove who they were. UnAmerican!!! Can't have that, Colorado here we come. Not that the optics of the outrage over Georgia's passage of the bill should interfere with the disaster that accompanied the move, full steam ahead. On to Texas where a similar bill was eventually passed, over the dire beer drinking objections from previously "vacationing Democrats", optics not with standing. They must have not all been vaccinated, the Democrats that is……. This year's World Series will not be the Los Angeles Dodgers verse the New York Yankees or even the Boston Red Socks. No, it will be Texas's Astros verses Georgia's Braves. Eat your heart out Commissioner Manfred, not much you can do about that, no matter what the optics are. Voter ID in Georgia and Texas is a matter of law. Sports has always been a learning experience both for the participant and the audience. There are many valuable lessons to be learned. While it is doubtful that the "Woke" in this Country will be any wiser, it is nice to know that Colorado had already in place, legislation similar to that which Commissioner Manfred found to be "so" offensive. It is also nice to see that Commissioner Manfred, MLB, and a host of sports writers found their collective politics are best left at home rather than in the embarrassing spotlight of things that can and will come back to bite you in your posterior. Congratulations to both Georgia and Texas for passage of fair voter ID laws. And an even bigger Whoorah to the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros no matter who your favorite team is for making it to the height of baseball's penultimate series.
