DeSantis Slammed for “Racism” Over Sports Comment: Left’s Obsession Exposed!

Liberal media outlets recently accused the 2024 GOP Presidential candidate, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, of racism after he commented on the varying levels of athleticism required in baseball and basketball. During a speech, the governor stated that baseball is a “democratic” and “meritocratic” game where people of different sizes and skill level can perform well in various positions, whereas basketball demands athleticism and “freakish” talents from its players. However, the left-wing media quickly attacked him for focusing on the NBA’s predominantly Black athletes, claiming that his remarks promoted racist and white supremacist ideologies.

According to USA Today columnist Mike Freeman, Governor DeSantis was “pushing racist tropes” by contrasting baseball, a supposedly “mostly white sport,” with basketball, where the “mostly Black” players have “fast-twitch muscles.” He also called the governor “one of the most prominent anti-Black politicians alive.” Candace McDuffie from The Root described the governor’s comments as “disgustingly racist” and claimed that he was encouraging white supremacy in America.

However, not all media outlets agreed with these accusations. Conservative news source Outkick argued that Governor DeSantis was correct in his observation that basketball demands athleticism, while baseball requires a different skill set, such as hand-eye coordination and precision. They criticized Freeman for viewing everything through a racial lens and reducing every commentary to race, highlighting the fact that not everything must revolve around race.

In conclusion, the left’s obsession with race has led them to falsely accuse Governor DeSantis of racism. The fact that he was merely comparing the athletic demands of two different sports and not focusing on the race of the players proves their claims to be unwarranted and unfounded. It is time for the Democrats to stop playing the victim card and start focusing on important issues.
