Climate change alarmists have turned to recruiting sports leagues to promote eco-hysteria. Democrats in Congress are calling on the major sports leagues to promote climate change regulation and to answer what they are doing to limit greenhouse gases.
Democratic legislators from the Bicameral Task Force on Climate Change announced on Nov. 20 that they will host major sports league officials in "a closed-door discussion," Nov. 21. Representatives from Major League Baseball, the NFL, NBA/WNBA, NHL and Olympics are expected to attend.
The majority of these leagues have also partnered with George Soros-funded lobbyists at the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) to promote a left-wing environmental agenda. The MLB, NHL, and NBA each worked with NRDC officials to advocate the use of solar power. The NRDC has received $1,775,221 from liberal mega-donor Soros since 2004.
This is not the first time that liberals have relied on sports leagues to promote a left-wing agenda. In September 2013, the White House partnered with the World Champion Baltimore Ravens football team to promote Obamacare. The Pittsburgh Steelers also set up a similar partnership. These partnerships arose after President Obama's unsuccessful attempt to recruit the NBA and the NFL to hype the health care law.
