Trump Calls For Boycott of MLB, Woke Companies
Former President Donald Trump gave a statement Saturday asking people to boycott Major League Baseball and other woke companies. This is in response to the decision of the MLB to pull out the All-Star Game from Atlanta, following a Georgia vote to enact a new law regarding elections.

Boycott Woke Companies
In a statement, Trump suggested giving the other side a taste of their own medicine. “For years the Radical Left Democrats have played dirty by boycotting products when anything from that company is done or stated in any way that offends them. It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back—we have more people than they do—by far!” he said.
The companies listed by Trump share a common theme. They are the firms that reacted strongly to the new Georgia law. “Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck. Don’t go back to their products until they relent. We can play the game better than them,” he called. He added that the left’s previous boycotts scared “companies into submission” and that people must “never submit” and “never give up” otherwise “the Radical Left will destroy our Country.”
MLB Moves From Atlanta
Trump’s reaction came after Major League Baseball announced last week that it will move its events from Atlanta because of its opposition to restrictions to the ballot box. This referred to changes made to early voting in the state. According to experts, the new voting laws expanded opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limiting them as reported. Also, the new law requires voters to present a drivers’ license or state ID number when voting via absentee ballot. This requirement is something 74% of Georgians, including 63% of black Georgians, support. Ironically, Fox News reported that MLB requires fans to use a photo ID to pick up tickets to attend games.
MLB decided to pull out of Georgia after President Joe Biden said last week that he strongly supports the league if they did so. He said that the new law will put workers at a disadvantage. “You are going to close a polling place at 5 o’clock when working folks just get off,” he said.
Trump Calls For MLB Boycott
“Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter ID, which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections. Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!” he thundered.
According to Holly Quinlan, a Georgia tourism official, MLB's decision will cost the state. Atlanta stands to lose around $100 million in lost revenue with the decision. Meanwhile, Georgia voting rights activist Stacey Abrams said she supported the league's decision. However, she didn’t “want to see Georgia families hurt by lost events and jobs.”
New York is Far More Restrictive
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who signed the bill, suggested that the MLB look into their backyard first before taking a stand on Georgia’s new laws. He said that New York voting laws are far more restrictive than those they oppose in Georgia. “Major League Baseball may be scared of Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams, but we're not. We will continue to fight to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat in Georgia,” Kemp said on Twitter.
In the meantime, White House reporter Philip Wegmann of RealClearPolitics asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki if Biden would do the same for the Olympics. “The President had voiced his support for MLB making a decision about the All-Star Game in Georgia. I’m wondering, when can we expect a final determination from the President about the United States participating in the Beijing Olympics, given that he said the Chinese President doesn’t have a democratic bone in his body?” the reporter asked. Psaki can only mutter something about the US Olympic Committee. Shen then proceeded to snap at the reporter. Biden has yet to answer that.
Georgia Governor Brian Trump warns of “cancel culture” after MLB pulls All-Star Game from Georgia:

COME FROM LIKE CANCEL CULTURE WOKE SHIT AND THE ASS HOLES WHO WANT TO TEAR DOWN HISTORICAL STATUES AND MONUMENTS AND RE NAME SCHOOLS AND GOVT. BUILDINGS AND THE REBEL FLAG

Yes President Trump.
Absolutely I will stop watching not just because of the all star fiasco but all the other stuff like deals w China
Do they think we are stupid?
I think they do
I dropped all sports channels long ago and I will NEVER allow them in my home at any times. If someone is at my house and wants to watch un professional sports I tell them to head to whatever bar is desperate for customers!
Feed up with political views from pro sports, Hollywood celebrities and businesses trying to direct public opinion toward the left. Stay out of politics and just do what you get paid to do.
This new Woke movement is the latest stupid thing the Dems have come up with.
No more Coke Products in this house. As for MLB, why don’t they move to China? I doubt that very many people would notice or even care.
These cancle culture clowns need to be canceled themselves. They have corporate sponsors. Stop buying crap from the companies who pay them . And tell these wack jobs to go f themselves . I think everyone who isn’t a woke pos shoild buy a southern cross flag and fly it on one day amd really send a message to these idiots. And no that flag isn’t racist .
Ok. I agree 100% with Robert A. And Elizabeth’s comments. However, not on point with this article. Robert T’s comment is correct. As a republican, we need to stop mixing politics with every f***ing thing. I agree with Georgia on the new law, there should be some type of verification process to make sure every voter registration is verified. I thought that every state has some leadway on voting procedures/regulations, as that was the case this past election. The administration needs to either allow states to control their voting procedure, like in the previous presidential election,, or come up with a bipartisan voting procedure for all states. Get that done now before more major elections occur.
I HAVE PLAYED SOME SEMI PRO BALL . IATE,SLEPT AND DREAMED IT IT WAS MY LIFE TILL CATFISH HUNTER GOT A MILLION BUCKS FROM SIEINBRENNER. THEN QUIT WITH A BUM ARM AFTER HE GOT IT. I GET SICK WHEN THESE PROS WHO CAN BARELY WRIE THEIR OWN NAME ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOME
THE
GREAT SAGES OF HUMANITYI SAY PISS ON THE WHOLE MESS INCLUDINE ALL THOSE HALF ASS CELEBS

I went to the Delta and Coke website’s. I was able to voice my opinion in the comment / complaint section. I agree with President Trump,UPS next on the list. I encourage everyone to do the same.
These RICH sport figures and there owners and companies like coke,delta airlines need to remember who just it is that is paying there salary! YOU and Me..!!!…so long to them all…and please boycott these left progressive nut wing Controller companies. This is business, it’s time we start treating them as such! Hit them where it hurts. Instead them trying to punish YOU, punish them instead! Stop watching and buying these products or flying on their planes such as Delta airlines! Plenty of other choices. It’s called a free Market! When these companies such playing around with voter rights and since what went on during 2020 elections, enough is enough!!!
Politics in Sports is a no no. Stopped watching NFL. Now baseball. Also this whole situation regarding restrictions on voting in Georgia is a LIE. We all know that including 4 Pinoccio Biden. The shame is the woke group is hurting those mom and pops stores in Atlanta. Obviously the politicians, our ignorant leader and MLB did not think this through. Same with the woke crowd, Delta and Coca Cola.
yes, I support Trump in his decision to boycott MLB & Woke companies.
No, will not watch MLB All-star game regardless of where they play.
Don’t need President Trump to tell me to boycott. Have already and would of done so anyways, as it’s the right thing to do!
WE, CONSERVATIVES, MUST FIGHT HARD TO PRESERVE OUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES AS AMERICANS…. THE LEFT AND RADICAL LEFT ARE LYING, CHEATING AND CANCELLING OUR GREAT COUNTRY…. WE MUST BOYCOTT AND CANCEL ALL THOSE THREATS TO US, INCLUDING, VOTING OUT OF OFFICE THE LEFT-WING POLITICIANS, AVOIDING CORRUPTED LEFT-WING SOCIAL MEDIA AND MAIN SREAM MEDIA, AND, BOYCOTTING ALL THOSE COMPANIES AND ENTITIES LIKE MLB, COCA COLA, DELTA, NIKE, THE NFL, THE NMA, MLB, ETC, ETC……
Hows MLB in iran, or egypt,or france! Let em play there the spoiled brats
I quit watching football a LONG time ago. Never watched nba, and I have sold my Kings season tickets and now I will dump the dodgers and MLB as well. Never drank the poison coke and I won’t fly Delta, although I may purchase a ticket, refuse to show ID so I can tell them how racist they are. Wveryone should buy tickets, refuse ID and then sue to tey and break them. After all, we have the words from Delta about how racist it is to show ID. I’ve also stopped using chewy and wont shop at bed bath and beyond. Anyone that wants to cancel people, should be canceled.
I LIKE COKE..but I WILL DRINK SOMETHING ELSE from now on.there are lots of airlines..delta is dead to me…I played pro sports for money..football..baseball is dead to me, I WILL do something else.
I can remember when the first million dollar players came out and that was crazy now several million to each player and last I remember they put their pants on one leg at a time as the rest of us do.Thr politicians are more corrupt than who they lock up. No BBall last year And now BBall. As one other said go piss up a rope . They are murdering ass crooks to say the least . Vote them out. You have too have ID too buy Beer oh but not to Vote or cross border . Look at the wack jobs in office as other countries laugh at us now. They are underestimating us I’m telling them.
This country needs to woke up and quite giving in to these retarded scum bags.
FUCK MLB FUCK NFL FUCK NBA FUCK NASCAR
Stand for the anthem, kneel for the cross. If not then be banned from playing.
I totally subport the boycott and I will try and get as many as possible to go along with me thanks for allowing me voice my opinion Carl Robacker
The over-paid and the over-rated sportsmen should not be involved in politics. Many of my friends are cancelling the tickets and go to Lowe’s instead of The Home Depot. Some stopped drinking coca-cola and switched to the juices.
I started boycotting all sports. The American Flag stands for every legal American. I will NOT watch any sports until they stop kneeling. By the way: Where did the Blacks get their own national anthem? It’s disgusting what the Left is changing the National Anthem. If they don’t like Old Glory then get the hell out of the USA.
Yes “woke” culture violates our rights as individuals to have a voice. Remember when companies used to say that what someone said they may not agree with but in a free country they have the right to “their” opinion. What does that make us if you can’t express your opinion? More free or less free citizens? I supported BLM and black rights until I found out they were being played by a grist of Marxists.
Yes, boycott all that support the BLM People that support them can’t stand for America because everyone should be for a fair and honest election only ones who don’t, want to cheat shouldn’t all desire a fair one.
MLB consistently feels they can bully their way and fans will just keep coming for a woke culture they sure are asleep! After losing more fans for this decision and the pending work stoppage next year management has their heads in the sand!
Some things to think about!
I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here.
But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I look at people I have known all my life–some are so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
You can’t justify this insanity:
• If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”?!
Nothing makes sense anymore – no values, no morals, and no civility. People are dying of a Chinese virus, but it’s racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong but killing unborn babies is AOK!
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. Speak up!
I’m all for equality, not this separate but equal. No national anthem because BLM wants a Black national anthem. This is so bullshit. America was built on people joining together and becoming a new country not by people demanding we act like the country they came from.
Yes mr Trump i will always back you you’re still my president
I have been a rabid Indians fan since 1954 when I had to spend the summer in because I had Chorea and I was told that anything strenuous would result in severe heart problems! Since we were poor and did not have a tv set nor was there a library in my small town I was going crazy with nothing to do so I started listening to Cleveland Indian ball games and became a big fan as they won 111 games! I have been a loyal fan ever since through good and bad times ever since. Now. a new season has started and I cancelled my subscription to MLB games because the commissnor decided to play god! Now I believe in BLM and the rights of the individuals to speak their minds and in their individual right to vote as their conscience guides them but the Commish should not dictate his mind or thoughts to us. Now I realize that he could care less about me or what I think or if I agree with him. His decree has major affect on the people of Atlanta and the jobs they perform, or in this case, jobs they will have no opportunity to perform. I will bore you no further even tho I have a lot on my mind
My late husband & I stopped watching MLB when they brought disrespect to my country’s service men & women, as well as our beautiful flag!! I’m to each his own. However, they should have chose a different time and place for their nonsense!! Yes, I AM boycotting with my fellow friend, Mr. Trump!! Also, won’t ever go back to Facebook nor any of the liberals social networking. I lived without it for 45 years. I don’t need propaganda, agendas or bias networking along my beautiful journey!!!
