'Wow. Just ... wow': Phyllis Schlafly wants 'foreign players' out of American baseball

Oh, come on. It can’t be that bad, can it?

Actually yes. Yes it can.

Have a look:

This foreign influx into our National Pastime may help explain why our youth is abandoning baseball. Youth who play baseball have declined by more than 40% since 2000, and some communities where baseball was once booming now struggle to fill teams. Television ratings for World Series games are less than half what they were three decades ago.

Baseball owners are doing the same thing that big corporations do – bring in foreign labor to take jobs that should go to Americans. American baseball players are better, as the awards and Hall of Fame prove, but perhaps baseball owners think that foreign players are cheaper and easier to control.

It is time to cut off visas for foreign baseball players, and return our National Pastime to Americans.

Uhhh …

@LeonHWolf Most depressing thing about that is it reads like an eighth-grade book report — albeit a rather bigoted, nativist report!

@freddoso The level of stupid is great with this one. I hope it was a parody because last I checked, those players are pretty amazing.

@lachlan I'm awed by the pure stupid in that article.

@lachlan Remember the "everyone is now dumber" rant from "Billy Madison?" That article is that.

@freddoso @jimgeraghty Just when you think that conservative "leaders" can't get any worse…..
