View attachment 476648You throw around commie like:You heard it here first: Rockies Coors Field will get the 2021 All-Star game.
Hope they get a hail storm like they did in 1982, with grapefruit sized hail. It'd be justice for the commie assholes.

So whiny little bitch Republicans can't STFU about how those poor widdle small biz owners in Atlanta won't get their $100 from the All-Star game, then Abbott declares that he won't let small biz owners make $100 million in Houston or Arlington, as punishment?
Not the reason. Armenian and Hellenic lobbying in favor of it is just as fierce. The problem is, once we officially call it genocide, other nations will call what we did to Native Americans genocide - which it was. Same with the Japanese/Chinese.That would depend on the Democrat. Turkey is a good example. Many Democrats and Republicans have refused to vote in favor of the government acknowledging the Armenian Genocide due to lobbying from the Turkish government. Sure, it's a historical genocide, but denial of it is no different from denial of the Holocaust.No, by that standard they do, as they spoke out on each, in addition to crackdowns in Türkiye and Myanmar and the Kurds.By that standard, the Democrats also don't care about human rights.C'mon.Plenty of Republicans were very vocal about sanctioning China over the Hong Kong situation. Plenty were regarding Uyghur genocide as well.But Republicans don't care about Human Rights, so your post is bad faith.So how can MLB have a deal like this with a country that has a history of well documented human rights violations?

The few GOP voices were used to jab China, not for Human Rights. Republicans certainly didn't speak out against the oppressive and excessive force being used on Russian, Polish, and Hungarian citizens. Among other authoritarian regimes.
There are members of each party that will remain silent or will defend certain regimes if they have business connections there. It's like how corporations pretend to care about social issues here but ignore equivalent or worse issues overseas.
Very few people are truly consistent in supporting human rights.
He couldn't throw it past the mound.Meh,
Does anyone really care that Gov Abbott didn’t toss the first pitch...
Actually, plenty of Americans acknowledge things like the Trail of Tears as ethnic cleansing or what we did during the Philippine War as a genocide. I don't see either acknowledgement as a problem.Not the reason. Armenian and Hellenic lobbying in favor of it is just as fierce.

The problem is trying to judge historical events through today's lens of morality.
Wrong. Confederate statues belong in museums.

I do agree that presentism isn't a good thing to engage in, but that's not the same as acknowledging genocides.
Presentism is best demonstrated by those on the left who want to tear down all references to the Confederacy, or those who want to remove all references to colonization figures (like what's happening in the UK).
Yeah? Get the U.S. to officially acknowledge our genocide against Native-Americans. Good luck.Actually, plenty of Americans acknowledge things like the Trail of Tears as ethnic cleansing or what we did during the Philippine War as a genocide. I don't see either acknowledgement as a problem.
You brought up presentism, and I gave an example of it. Sorry if you don't like that.Wrong. Confederate statues belong in museums.

Don't play stupid with me.
Nationally, it might take some time, but plenty of states wouldn't be against it. In fact, some states already have: “It’s Called a Genocide:” The Strength of Language in U.S. Government Apologies to Native AmericansYeah? Get the U.S. to officially acknowledge our genocide against Native-Americans. Good luck.Actually, plenty of Americans acknowledge things like the Trail of Tears as ethnic cleansing or what we did during the Philippine War as a genocide.
