Not only is baseball woke, but it’s become boring

GRA: I used to bet on baseball years ago (pretty successfully), and in July, I decided I would try it again. I don’t watch the national pastime much (I dumped cable), but pay attention to statistics. All I can say is, there are too many asians and mexicans in the sport (woke), however, what I was surprised to discover, with my reintroduction to baseball is this:

Except for 7 players with .300+ batting averages—no one can hit. Judge and Ohtani are the big home run names—and, yes, there are 12 more with at least 30 Hrs—but the .242 average both leagues have, as a composite, is lousy.

Worse, yet, it’s boring. There are way too many 1-2-3 innings and low-scoring games. You can probably hear crickets at most baseball stadiums, because of the lack of offense. Could you see football being popular if 80% of their games were 10-7 scores?

Is this just the same trend that has overtaken other entertainment areas, such as comedy, movies, or music, where great performers have literally dropped to numbers you can count on one hand?

Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Martin Short—all over 70.

What is going on with our country? No one has replaced the greats of the 1960s, 70s, 80s or 90s.

It’s quite amazing to see this country fall apart in every aspect of the excellence we used to enjoy—and I must add baseball to the critical list.

My number one reason for the decline? The push to get rid of Whites, and replace them with minorities.

Mission accomplished.
