Former Major League Baseball World Series Champion Aubrey Huff slammed cancel culture in a new interview with Aubrey Huff.
Huff also went on to criticize the League’s decision to pull the MLB all-star game out of Atlanta in response to the state’s decision to try and crack down on voter fraud.
As The Daily Wire reports:
HUFF: When I played, I intentionally stayed off social media. I didn’t have one. I didn’t let my conservative values out. Because you’re going to alienate half your fan base right out of the gate. So I don’t understand why athletes do that in the first place.
I didn’t really hear much about it (All-Star Game) until recently. I had to dig more into it. And from the outside looking in, the instant thinking was the players were blindsided. Had to have been. And what most people don’t know – and I get this question on social media from fans all the time – How many players are conservative in Major League Baseball? 80%. Easy. Even the guys from Venezuela and Puerto Rico. They’re trying to escape all this communism and all this bull****. So, they’re conservative as well…
From what they told me, this was a players union decision. So I called a few random players that I still talk to. One of these is a superstar. And he tells me ‘We are f****** hot. We are pissed’. He tells me that the players union, Tony Clark, was getting heat about moving the game out of Georgia. I guess the players union got a hold of Major League Baseball without consulting the players first.
Word has it, there were two or three huge companies that pump in hundreds of millions of dollars in sponsorship deals to Major League Baseball every single year. They were threatening that if MLB does not leave Georgia, they’re pulling out. And this player told me that each one of these companies are worth over $350 million. So, we’re looking at billions of dollars in money. So, Rob Manfred made the decision without consulting anybody. MLB is out of there.

At least now we know that baseball, and I bet maybe football, but probably not the NBA, has players who know what this country stands for, but like Huff, are too scared for their career and probably their families to say anything in public. Too bad this woke commissioner didn’t have the cajones to stand up to the left. If just ONE president of a company or owner of one of any pro team would stand up to the left, then maybe some other business owners will start coming together and stand up against BLM, Antifa, and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, and get the h*** out of my town.
If the owners said OK no All-Star Game this year(but no guts). If players had said the same(no guts} then maybe commissioner would back down or resign. i ain’t watching the game. BEC
I believe what Huff said. So if that’s the case, and so many players are conservative, then strike back and denounce this woke garbage. You gotta let the fans know where you guys who play the game stand. Otherwise the media will trash you, the league and the games. These woke idiots need to wake up to what Americans really are and what this country really is. ENOUGH!!
Disgusting and totally unamerican and Americans are losing their freedom of speech unless you agree with the “do as I say, not as I do party”
Get Woke, Go Broke!
Wouldn’t it be something if all (or at least, most) of the players that were to be playing in the All Star game suddenly came down with the MLB’s version of the “Blue Flu”? Jus’ sayin’
Even with this explanation, to boycott is the only way to get the message across. Sports and companies need to adhere to the consumer not a political agenda. Hurting them through their pocketbook matters. Coke has already backed off, but that’s still not enough for us conservatives to return to Coke products. They also have been doing critical race theory to their employees! Let them learn the hard way!
“Union Leadership” a very worthless and corrupt image comes to my mind. Like a seedy, dirty old man with a steady flow of taken money to do with as he may. Union Leadership and democrat leaders are corrupt partners in legalized crime.
Maybe major baseball fans will show their objection to the childish behavior of moving out of Georgia will show their reaction by not attending or watching MLB on TV. That could happen so when you want to appease the money bags remember where you’d be with out the fans. They can kill the sport for you.
If that’s true that there’s players who didn’t agree, then shame on them.
Right is right! I’m not a fan and now after this fiasco for sure I will never be, and won’t watch on TV. We the people need to abandon these traitors.
I’m completely disgusted, even more so after reading this article.
Coke had to cave as they are in financial trouble, their sales are down and their running in the red, so stop buying their products and let them go under.
Interesting insight from inside the game, even if you are retired. I haven’t heard any players say anything no way or the other. I guess it’s best to keep your mouth shut if you are still an active player — or you might get canceled. We live in a very sick society where people can’t express their opinions without worrying about losing their livelihood. One guy was kicked out of a rock band because he read a book the left didn’t like. People have lost their jobs due to this insane “cancel culture.”
All these corrupt satanic Nazi democrats will pay for their evil sins very soon
I SURE HOPE SO. I am running out of gas !
This is how socialist and communist countries work. They have a few big time wealthy people or groups and they threaten to take their money if they don’t do what they say. The people being threatened almost always cave, otherwise they are destroyed. If they can’t do it with money – they do it with violence. Judges are often threatened with violence if they don’t produce the “correct” verdict. Look at what Maxine Waters just did in Minnesota! Yes, this is already here and it’s way past time for companies, sports teams, all everyone to stop caving to these threats! Otherwise we will all be slaves to these criminals.
