1. Good luck with that, you idiots

Do you little pissants really think you're going to defeat MLB? That's a multi-billion dollar industry and you three losers have nothing except your petty stupidity.

[CatWoman]

6. ****THIS!!!****

2. God help us if they ever get back majority

They literally have cracked. Of course, conservatives are now saying 28 percent isn’t enough to tax corporations. Can’t make this up. Lol.

3. No sports league should be exempt from antitrust laws, including the NCAA

[PJMcK]

16. Do you understand the reason for their exemptions?

Other businesses operate under court orders, too. In the music business, performing rights societies, like Ascap and BMI, operate under Consent Decrees in order to collect and distribute royalties.

Generally, these decisions are made because these businesses must operate federally, that is, in many different states each of which has different laws and regulations.

4. Good luck getting a vote on that you cretin fucks

I don’t recall Democrats getting to introduce Senate legislation

[rso]

5. RSO

Dumb move by republicans in my view, as the MLB and other entities will now have additional reasons to work against republicans being elected.

7. Who cares?

The fact that these idiots think that their proposal has a chance of passing is amusing.

[Initech]

8. Calling them "insufferable assholes" is an understatement!

[jonstl08]

9. Not chance

Who they think funds their campaigns? All these billionaire owners. There is no way they will do go through this. All it is is window dressing for the little people who support them.

[Under The Radar]

10. Legislation out of spite..... childishness

[crickets]

18. +1

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. Next

it will be war on Mom and Apple Pie.

[Sur Zobra]

13. Yes!

And they’ll insist we call it Freedom Pie from now on

[spanone]

12. D.O.A.

[HAB911]

14. They must enjoy pissing in the wind

[BannonsLiver]

15. DOA

[msongs]

17. why should baseball have anti trust protection in the first place? just gives opportunists a cause n

[Downtown Hound]

19. Now, now, DU, remember what Napolean said...

"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake."

[Mr.Bill]

20. I, for one, am enjoying

seeing them be the ones to propose legislation that will never come to the floor for a vote.
