Some of the folks who used to be with RFC Radio have started a bit of a commotion with a new project they have started called Respect the Great Game. It’s a petition website that wonders why Major League Baseball would want a hateful smear merchant like Keith Olbermann associated with the national pastime:
Given our love of the game, its traditions and history, we are puzzled as to why the greatness that is Major League Baseball, allows Keith Olbermann to tarnish its blog pages with his musings. True, Keith Olbermann is a gifted speaker with a respectable grasp of the great game, but his nightly tirades on MSNBC are often aimed at the very people that fill the stands of baseball parks across our great land. In light of this we have put this site together to ask a very basic question, “Why does Major League Baseball allow an individual who relishes hate speech to be associated with it?”
Please consider taking a moment to sign our petition that we will take to the Commissioner of Baseball to let our concerns be known. We are not suggesting a boycott of ANYTHING Baseball related. We just want to submit our concerns and receive a thoughtful response from those who are entrusted to protect this game that is at the very heart of being an American.
They even have a fancy video montage of Bathtub Boy, showing why he should be held at arm’s length, if at all:
Hopefully Major League Baseball will turn to Olby and say, “SHUT. THE. HELL. UP!”
