Aubrey Huff, SF Giants first basemen and outfielder, and the most valuable player on that team for the year, an brought them to 2010 World Series, publicly supported Donald Trump. For that, they decide not to invite him to their reunion. (While Giants owner, Larry Baer, has done things like yelling and pushing his wife over at an amusement park). This is just another case where slacktivism and California Intolerance overrode common sense and the idea that sports should be apolitical.

Woke Corporate Slacktivism is the idea that corporations should stop trying to maximize shareholder value by meeting their customers needs, but start becoming political/religious organizations that preach their agendas to others. It seems to fail more than it works, because most people are wise enough to recognize that they're insincere. And even those gullible enough to believe otherwise just find some other hypocrisy by the company to feed their need for moral outrage. So their short term allies will always turn on them, and they alienate everyone else.

The land of intolerance, hypocrisy and progressivism... but I repeat myself. This article lists some examples of the intolerance, incompetence, and progressivism that has come to exemplify the Golden State. (NOTE: While the Golden State once referred to the color of the dried grass hills so common in California, it now refers to the vagrant urine covered streets of San Francisco or L.A.)
