I turn to Baseball to escape politics. "Mentally". I mean it's impossible to escape politics. It's there whether you talk about it or not. The less you talk about it, the more empowered the politicians are. I started this blog because I needed a break from the 24/7 battle I was fighting as a political activist. I would never dream of mixing the two.Last night however; while watching a certain female political talk show host, they went live to Anaheim where a bunch of "mostly Hispanics" were protesting the All-star game. But not the 2010 game, the 2011 game scheduled for Arizona. The protesters were mad at Bud Selig because Selig also refuses to mix politics and Baseball. This would be one of the few great things Selig has done for the game.
Since I don't have video of the interview (and I don't want to discuss the protest) I'll simply say that the interviewer shredded the protester. I mean, she made him look like Kanye West at the Grammies. It was pathetic. It was like watching a person drown. (only I had no feelings of throwing him a rope) He truly hurt his cause because he was so stupid. The protest is stupid. Bringing it to a Baseball event was down right offensive.And just when I felt I couldn't take any more;(I'm yelling at my TV "STFU") the poor misguided tool adds: "and I hope the San Francisco Giants stars help win it for the national league".
Baseball and Politics.......... Worse than watching your parents have sex.
