Didn’t they cancel baseball years ago, because everyone thought it was too boring?

Variety:

When Major League Baseball kicks off its 2020 season, fans won’t be allowed to sit in many of the ballparks. Viewers who watch any of four games broadcast over Fox or Fox Sports 1 this Saturday may not notice.

The Fox Corporation-owned outlet intends to fill the seats of Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium, Nationals Park and Petco Park with hundreds of virtual attendees, and will do the same at all the ballparks from which it broadcasts games over the next several weeks. It’s part of the company’s effort to bring fans of the national pastime a game that looks and sounds like a traditional event, not one played in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic.

“We had a vision for making our Major League Baseball broadcasts look as natural as they were before COVID,” says Brad Zager, executive producer  and executive vice president and head of production and operations for Fox Sports, in an interview. “A lot of that is having a crowd in the stadium.”

Using digital technology, Fox Sports will fill seats with dozens of digital doppelgangers, all of whom can make movements that emulate what a crowd might look like from afar. The attendees can be tailored for each venue. Fox can change the colors of clothes, so a particular stadium might appear to be filled with home-team fans. Producers can have sections of the ersatz assemblage do a wave, says Zager, and can even remove crowd members if need be. “If it’s an 8-to-1 game, the crowd can be thinned out,” late in the game, he explains.

Wow – these guys are really getting into the dystopia, to the point where they can’t even tell they’re doing it. I could see myself putting fake fans in my game, but I wouldn’t want to admit I was doing it. It seems very wrong.

Then again, so does kneeling for a drug-addicted multiple felon who pointed a gun at a pregnant woman, and they’re doing that. Even though no one is watching, we all sort of know that this used to be the American sport, before it was replaced with football, and long before football was replaced with MMA and E-Sports.

It’s like desecrating a grave.

And that’s why they had to do this to it, isn’t it? All the monuments must be torn down, and this extremely slow and boring game is no exception.

If anyone could go anywhere, I would tell you to take your family to the circus instead of this or the cinema. But, with the way things are now, I guess no one is going anywhere, ever again.

Men died for that flag, you little whelp.

Kid deserves to get beat with a baseball bat – with its kneecaps out, it’ll have an excuse not to stand for OUR GLORIOUS FLAG.

Fox News:

A middle school physical education teacher allegedly assaulted a student on Thursday for apparently refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, police said.

Karen Smith was placed on paid administrative leave from Angevine Middle School in Lafayette, Colo., this week after police were called in to investigate an alleged assault on a male student, Principal Mike Medina said in a statement.

The nature of the assault is not known.

The Lafayette Police Department said they were investigating what Smith did to “make the child stand,” FOX 31 reported.

Medina said in a statement that he could not discuss details of the incident but confirmed the school was working with police. He also said a substitute teacher would fill in for Smith.

FOX 31 reported the department was still conducting interviews and gathering information on the alleged incident.

It’s interesting that the race of the child was not given.

But it doesn’t matter.

She went too easy on it, either way.

If you don’t want to salute our flag, then get out of our country. In fact, just get the fuck out either way.

Just a bit of context to the kneeling nigger scandal here.

Chinks will put you in the clink for disrespecting their national anthem.

Fox News:

China’s parliament is considering criminal penalties for those who disrespect the national anthem, Reuters reported Monday, citing from state news agency Xinhua.

A draft amendment to the country’s Criminal Law was submitted for deliberation at a session of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee on Monday. Violators could face up to three years in prison, according to the draft.

China passed a new law in September mandating up to 15 days in police detention for those who mock the “March of the Volunteers,” which is China’s national anthem. The law also covers the Chinese territories of Hong Kong and Macau, Reuters reported.

It is not clear when the amendment would be voted on or take effect.

I’m not even saying that we need to go full-chink in America and start locking these niggers up. Well, not for the kneeling. Just in general, they should probably be locked up.

What I am trying to say here is that all nations, the world over, consider disrespecting a flag to be a monumental social transgression. And America has decided that not only can the blacks not be fired for this, but that they deserve the support of whites and the government itself.

Hillary Clinton has endorsed this attack on the flag and nation, as have many other politicians.

This is a major, major thing – a shift in the social order, against the core of the nation, which would have been unimaginable pre-Obama and which remains unimaginable in every other country on the planet.
