The progressive group Americans United For Change is launching a campaign directed at pressuring Major League Baseball into taking right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck off the air, according to the Huffington Post.
Last June, MLB announced they would add Beck to its online streaming service, GBTV, after Beck left Fox News. The service, which has also streamed March Madness games in addition to baseball, has provided all 30 teams and their owners with a lucrative revenue stream.
On Thursday, the group launched its website, Strike Out Beck, which has a petition for the MLB to drop the right-wing host. The new site features the “Glenn Beck Hall of Hate,” which highlights some of Beck’s most controversial comments.
Beck has been a controversial figure in the past, and baseball will not be happy with this negative publicity coming out right before the fall classic is about to get underway.
The video below was made by the group as they try and get Beck off the air.
