Just at the end. But the crowd loved it.

7. I saw that on Ari's show.

Awesome!

11. I liked how they told everyone to

Call their senators and vote!

14. After playoff loss, Rubio says Miami Heat, NBA 'politicizing' Uvalde shooting

Sen. Marco Rubio offered a blistering critique of the Miami Heat after their playoff game Wednesday — and he wasn’t talking about their lopsided defeat to the Boston Celtics. In a trio of tweets sent late Wednesday and early Thursday, the state’s senior Republican senator criticized the Heat for a pair of politically themed messages about gun control and Florida’s new voting restrictions, asking why they hadn’t been similarly critical of China despite the country’s human-rights abuses.

The senator, who is from Miami, said the organization refuses to speak up about China because of its business relationship with the country.

The @NBA doesn’t like to talk about the billions they make from a China that enslaves Uyghur Muslims and harvests their organs,” Rubio tweeted. “But they have no problem politicizing horrific tragedy in America.”

Rubio was responding directly to an announcement made by the Heat organization inside FTX Arena on Wednesday, per video shared in the senator’s tweet, in which fans were asked to contact their state senator “demanding their support for common-sense gun laws.” The message, delivered by the P.A. announcer inside the arena, came after a moment of silence for the victims of this week’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

20. Drop dead Rubio

[Abolishinist]

29. You're too kind.

I would ask for several months of intense pain and suffering prior to assuming room temperature.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

21. Of course it's political Cruzzer

that's why you're a politician isn't it? Get to work!!!!!!!!!

[nolabear]

23. I hope people are onto their deflect and point fingers bs.

There’s a squirrel for every attempt to actually do anything.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

30. Sadly, it's their standard operating procedure. And as blatantly transparent as their propaganda

techniques are, millions of Americans don't see it. Hell, they think Trump is a strong, brave, honest, smart superhero.

[druidity33]

24. We don't live in China, Sen Rubio. We live here. nt.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

42. Very true and

we all know Rubio doesn't give a shit about China's human rights abuses, either. Only when he can use them as a political football to kick does he mention them.

[calimary]

27. Shut the Fuck Up, little marco.

You and your gun-humping friends in Washington who claim you’re “pro-life” while you worship at the altar of death-toys can ALL go fuck yourselves.

[rubbersole]

39. Shallow Little Marco - STFU!

You politicize everything you can. I drive by the PULSE memorial twice a day. It sickens me each time. I hope that between this slaughter in Texas (sadly, to many others to list and probably more to come) and the upcoming Roe decision, that every thinking eligible voter will have had enough of these repub assholes and get out and vote. It is our last chance.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

41. This +100!

[Maraya1969]

34. Sounds like Rube is a Senator from China instead

Of the US

Again, the immortality and wickedness of the GOP on full display

[wryter2000]

38. I saw that

I thought it would be the usual, but then the last announcement. Wow. I hope all teams will do this. It might at least scare a few of the bastard's.

[Scrivener7]

4. What a georgeous baby!

12. it's Derek Jeter's nephew. He's probably about 10 by now.

5. It needs happen non stop until legislation is passed

that addresses the issue.

[Initech]

6. I'm not a huge Yankees fan, but I definitely respect them for this!

[dajoki]

26. I am a huge Yankees fan..

And they have always been a classy organization.

[murielm99]

31. I have always loved to hate the Yankees...

not today!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

43. Same here, as I cheer for the Orioles.

That being said, I applaud the Yankees for this gesture and I give the Miami Heat kudos, also.

Thank you for foregoing the money for truth. We need that.

[malaise]

10. It all starts with a knee

Shut it all down - make the kids safe- stop the guns
Brilliant.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Cool, but I can't find it

I've got the Yankee and the Rays feed and it's, well, just baseball. Am I missing something?

[LoveMyCali]

15. That's what I was going to say

There is still coverage on the Yes network.

22. The radical Republican Supreme Court is so eager to overturn precedent, how about gun laws.

Overturning Heller would be a start. And then overturning the right to gerrymander would help because it is gerrymandering that sends right-wing nuts to Congress who think shooting kids is nothing more than target practice. We’re all fed up, but it isn’t just the number of guns and how easy it is to get them. It’s the deliberate stoking of hatred and anger, it’s the right-wing militias who think they have a right to overturn a fair election, it’s the white supremacists who want to kill anyone who is not white, it’s Fox, hate radio, conspiracy internet, hateful social media—all those who think that violence is fine because they want their guns to force the rest of the US to follow their path into totalitarian government ruled by the likes of Donald Trump, the most ignorant corrupt president in our history. I’m beyond fed up with this BS.

[Tommymac]

35. This.

[BadgerMom]

25. Go, Yankees from this Dodger fan.

[Stinky The Clown]

28. Kudos and WOW!!!

[Joinfortmill]

32. Looks like people have had enough.

[DFW]

33. Rubio still thinks what Charles Whitman did was unusual and unique

He also appears to think that the plight of the Uighurs is more pressing to Floridians than American school children. He probably has never even heard of the Seminoles.

What kind of political party have the Republicans become that two baseball teams are showing more interest in the well-being of American children than fifty Republican Senators or two thirds (all Republican appointees) of the Supreme Court?

Go get a glass of water, Marco. Then get lost.

[NNadir]

37. Well said. N/t
