Life after the Greenville Drive?

So you didn't follow my point about MLB alienating people with their assertion about something. I am assuming you agree with their characterization if you don't get this.

DON'T FEED

Isn't the opposite true....MLB is trying to score political points and politicizing baseball. I'm talking about potential ramifications of that.

This is a conservative area as people with your views like to point out.

My point is if people associate the Drive with the MLB , they could potentially see less fans show up in a relatively conservative metro like Greenville.

I never said the Drive are going anywhere. I said they could potentially see less fans at the games if a significant number of fans associate the Drive with MLB. I don't believe the Drive is going to characterize photo ID to vote laws as 'Jim Crow'.

That would be a good question for a local journalist to ask the Drive management. Businesses have traditionally avoided getting into political disputes so as not to alienate current and potential customers as well as many of their own employees. Michael Jordan was known for not talking about politics because he wanted to sell shoes to everybody.

He famously said 'Republicans buy sneakers too'.

It is my understanding The Drive is an affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. I don't know if that means MLB has control over The Drive or it is a only a partnership between two distinct organizations. The good news for Drive fans is people on the right generally are not committed protesters / boycotters if we believe the organization makes a good product despite the polarizing assertions.

Huck is a troll. Going on my ignore list.

It it hard to believe that people sincerely believe there is no possibility the Greenville Drive might see lower attendance if conservative fans associate it with MLB.

I would not do business with furmanpals after he asserted people like me would drink Lysol to deal with covid along with other silly accusations. People chosing not to attend games after MLB's assertion is the same thing.

From August 26

• At least 46 people in North Texas drank bleach within the last month, according to the North Texas Poison Center.
• Most of the 46 cases did not result in serious injuries, but at least some of those callers mentioned coronavirus as a reason for drinking the chemical.
• Public health officials are now warning residents that bleach does not prevent or cure the novel coronavirus, and can instead be seriously dangerous to ingest.
• The Texas Poison Center Network also said in a statement it's seen a 71% uptick in calls involving bleach products, and a 63% uptick in calls involving other household cleaners.
