The New<br \/>\n        York area and Southern Florida are well-known as the primary concentrations<br \/>\n        of Jewish people in the whole United States. The evidence of a conspiracy<br \/>\n        is clear and convincing.<\/p>\n<p>        For starters, how many of you knew that the President of the New York<br \/>\n        Yankees is named &#8211; Randy Levine, obviously a Jew! And on the other side<br \/>\n        of the<br \/>\n        equation, the President of the Florida Marlins is &#8211; David Sampson! How<br \/>\n        much more Jewish can you get? A clear sign of collusion. What chance<br \/>\n        does a team like the Sox, with goyim President John Henry (hard to be less Jewish without being named Mohammed), have?<\/p>\n<p>        Obviously, in order to manipulate America&#8217;s national pastime (watching<br \/>\n        sports on TV) the involvement of Major Media is required. Well, guess<br \/>\n        who is President of Fox Sports Network. A gentleman by the name of Larry<br \/>\n        Jacobson!<br \/>\n        Another Jew!<\/p>\n<p>        But the clincher is the power of the man at the top. Yes, my innocent<br \/>\n        readers, the eminent Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Bud Selig,<br \/>\n        is also<br \/>\n        of the Jewish persuasion. I rest my case.<\/p>\n<p>To what end is this pernicious manipulation taking place? We can<br \/>\n        only speculate as to the political and\/or economic motivations of this<br \/>\n        insidious conspiracy, but considering the individuals involved I think<br \/>\n        we can safely assume they are up to no good.<\/p>\n<p>        The Dowbrigade realizes that by making this information public he is<br \/>\n        risking his reputation, his job, and perhaps even his physical safety.<br \/>\n        After several<br \/>\n        recent trumped up scandals involving other aware individuals pointing<br \/>\n        out the undue influence of this powerful secret network, perhaps discretion<br \/>\n        is advised in a sensitive case like this. But discretion has never been<br \/>\n        the Dowbrigade&#8217;s strong suit, and considering the central role of the World Series<br \/>\n        in<br \/>\n        the national psyche and spiritual life, we feel that the<br \/>\n        personal risk involved is inconsequential compared with the public&#8217;s<br \/>\n        right to know.<br \/>\n    Remember, you heard it here first.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the best tradition of courageous independent journalism the Dowbrigade, going against the advice of his closest cronies as well as his legal department, has come into possession of information which should shake the roots of professional sports and race-related &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/2003\/10\/21\/protocols-of-the-elders-of-baseball\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":299,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1443],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-esl-links"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/299"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1610\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
