pretty simple and straightforward. Some republicans are trying to not allow this guy to buy the Nationals because he has some wacky ideas. Yes, it is that simple.

unbelievable. i'm seeing so many signs lately that all republicans want to do is be the only influencing power in the us, and are doing as much as they can to squash any liberal ideas.

TO THE COMMONS!!!! but not up thos estairs......theyre forbidden fruit. and dont even think of landing a 737 in there on ms blums watch, she'll kick that shit out especially if it doesnt throw away its yogurtt

That's insane. do people in the states really judge others that harshly based on political interests?

i love "This is above all a fan sport. This is the Nationals, and they're going to give it to some multinational?" ... wow..

Wow. That’s not subjective at all.

Does it not strike anyone as odd to the fact she didn’t allude to something actually of material value? Political stereotyping holds little water in actual negotiations. Does anybody actually think that being a liberal or conservative would add to your value as an owner of a damn baseball team? That’s just not how business works.

That’s just shitty journalism.

Quinny, I fail to see your point. Are you saying that the author of this article is a poor journalist because they don't see that political affiliation is not important at all to the professional sports industry? Even if that's true, which it obviously isn't if all these politicians are upset over this issue, its still wrong for the government to surpress a person's free enterprise based on whether they may or may not dislike certain government actions.

You fail to see the point because you wouldn’t know good writing if it slapped you in the face.

Its shitty journalism because she doesn’t focus on the situation as a whole. Its more complex than a-he-said-she-said. Here is an example of better-written piece:

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/columnist/bodley/2005-06-30-bodley-nats-politics_x.htm

Mr. Bodley actually feels compelled to step back and look at the whole issue. He even brings up things that would not normally cross the readers mind. It actually provokes thought. That’s what good writing should do. Sally Jenkins can’t write.

You eventually learn to have an eye for good journalism when you read a paper more than twice a month.

I wouldn't cite USA Today articles as a demonstration of good journalism. It might be the worst nationally distributed newspaper. Try the NY Times on for size.
