Ep 1197 | MLB All-Star 2026 Tried Too Hard to Be Patriotic and It Backfired

The MLB All-Star Game tried to be patriotic. Instead, it seemed desperate. From Patti LaBelle's stumbling national anthem and a cringeworthy fifth-inning "Sandlot" spoof to Miss America's rendition of "God Bless America" — baseball's midsummer showcase went all in on patriotism and came out looking like a try-hard political ad. Jason Whitlock breaks down why performative patriotism is worse than no patriotism at all — and what the MLB's All-Star spectacle reveals about a league that has lost touch with its own audience.
