Republicans Continue "My Way or the Highway" with Baseball in D.C.
This time Republicans have shifted their focus to the baseball sports world. George Soros, a major liberal donor and activist is rumored to be part of a group competing to purchase the Washington Nationals baseball team. Several House Republicans threatened to withdraw baseball's antitrust exemption if it allows Mr. Soros to be a partner in any group purchasing the team. These House Republicans expect anyone and everyone who might need business in Washington to do exactly as they want, or else. Given the President's sagging poll numbers one wonders how much longer this strategy will work.
