In the obscure Northwest corner of the US, where Alaska is visible from various heights perched above stunning evergreen precipices, the region will soon be under the microscope built of skepticism and bewilderment.
Major league baseball has adorned Seattle with the hosting duties of the 2023 All-star game, nearly a calendar year after the league abruptly defected from Atlanta for political purposes and threw the midsummer evening party in Denver instead to appease fans left of center. While the loosely termed “leadership” of the Emerald city is sure to furnish an extravagant welcoming mat for various dignitaries, indirectly showcased will be the legions of decrepit RV’s within proximity to T-Mobile ballpark, where the voracious squatters of the car camping movement transform the streets into a wasteland inch by inch, discarded needle by discarded needle. As ticket holders descend upon the stadium, the creatures in the twilight await darkness as the race of the panhandling rush hour commences for a global audience.
The Seattle city council has monetized the billion dollar industry of the homeless industrial complex over the last quarter of a century, and enablement has persisted, the once shimmering and vibrant downtown has decayed into a dystopian nightmare with the sidewalks surrounding the government chambers lined with hypocrisy. Viewers of the game will witness firsthand the periphery of chaos, where progressive ideology reigns, law-abiding citizens are criminalized, and criminals are allowed to exercise their lust for a cavalcade of infractions that are unenforced, including violence, public drug use, and property crime. Elected officials have even proposed building “heroin dens”, where junkies are given 24-7 access to nurses and a safe space when shooting up. This brilliantly reckless scheme will cost taxpayers literally millions of dollars, and puts an additional unnecessary strain on the city’s already depleted police squadron.
Unfortunately, the men and women of law enforcement are forced by lawmakers to sit by and allow the tidal wave of crime to swell, as the entire force has dwindled thanks to horrendous policy and the prevalence of an anti-cop atmosphere from member of special interests groups who always seem to complain when their 911 call is not responded to in a timely manner.
While the ruling class of major league baseball is responsible for mating politics and entertainment, and with the decision to move last year’s all star game to a bluer Denver in passively aggressively protesting Georgia election law, the league has alienated its core fanbase. Under the trending societal rules, even though MLB identifies as “America’s Pastime”, one can argue that the sporting organization should be referred to as “America’s Future Nightmare”.
Inspired by Seattle’s liberal agenda, the MLB marketing team has created a list of theme-based additions to enhance the fan experience and capture the essence of the volatility prevalent downtown.
-Tweaker Celebrity Softball Game- Local miscreants will attempt to complete the three inning affair that may not even involve a bat or ball at certain points. Participations must enter the fenced in field through a metal detector, only after harassing a random fan.
-Starbuck’s Cup Poop Challenge- No description is needed.
-Despondent Suburban Caucasian Dog Mom BLM Pitching Contest- The female contestants will scream and yell about equity while trying to throw the fastest pitch at White professional male targets. Points for creativity.
-Seattle Fan Shopping Spree- The Tweaker softball players and the Poop Challenge contestants will randomly pick a section of the ball park and proceed to burglarize the concession stands and random fans. Points deducted if arrested by a police.
On a domestic front, Seattle and professional baseball illustrate an amicable and symbiotic domestic partnership, and the collaboration not only entails branding controversial rhetoric, but the feverish temporary restoration of the warzone adjacent to the ballpark and ceremonial evictions given to those who choose not to pay rent. However, thanks to the paradigm shift by elected officials over the last quarter of a century to implement a abolitionist method to coddling criminals, and enacting strict anti-gun legislation on residents, the proportion of the masses operating under the pretense of bad intentions cannot be expected to follow the law during the week of baseball festivities.
During the establishment of the infamous CHAZ/CHOP zone in 2020 and the “Summer of Love”, where violent protestors were allowed to seize a chunk of the city and unfortunate residents caught behind the borders were unable to access basic emergency services, the world witnessed a blatant example of Seattle leadership caving into extremists. While major league baseball will certainly not include the lowlights of four murders in four days among the narrative of the game, a majority of those watching the broadcast will recall with disgust, how an out of control group of tyrants effectively seceded from the Union for 23 days and in the process faced no armed resistance in securing the East police precinct. Ironically, many of the players invited to the game emigrated from rogue nations where violence and radicalism are normalized and will feel right at home under the shadows of a dark time in Pacific Northwest history.
Unfortunately, the aforementioned professional athletes will not speak up to the horrors they witnessed before becoming citizens, as a- they will be shouted down by disruptors, and b- to protect family members who still face the will of tyrants and dictators on a daily basis. Once the car campers are permitted to enter T-Mobile park after the 7th inning the real fireworks will start, as million dollar athletes and scofflaw spar to “Take Me Out to The Ballgame” blaring in the background.
Give Seattle and other Left coast cities a few more decades and this reality will threaten to engulf urban corridors through Portland and all the way down South to Los Angeles.
