As usual this is projection. Football, the olympics, women’s soccer, now baseball, all are now economically off-limits for the GOP to attend.
ETA: I’m sure in a few months they’ll be whining about how little their red-state teams made and blaming others for it too.

Man, imagine. Once they lose college football they might get so bored they accidentally pick up a book.

Eh, you know. When a band runs out of good ideas and any real passion they can still recycle their biggest hits at the local county fair.

Notice that economic terrorism is an anagram of cancel culture.
Grassley is sneaky that way.
