Lord, we ask that our country's leaders would be God-fearing and recognize that they are accountable to Him for each decision and act.

Ferguson spoke to Breitbart News after the Atlanta Braves won the World Series Tuesday night, the same night that Republicans swept the country in statewide elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and other localities.

The Braves’ victory represents their first World Series championship since 1995, or over two decades.

Tuesday night’s victory also arose after Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred decided to move the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Colorado, which reportedly cost Atlanta businesses anywhere from $37 to $190 million.

Ferguson, the House Republican chief deputy whip, said that the Braves’ victory serves as a repudiation of Major League Baseball.

“First of all, let me say we’re awfully proud of the Braves fans. It was a good night for Georgia, and in a lot of regards, but you know, it looks like… karma caught up with Major League Baseball,” Ferguson told Breitbart News. “And, you know, they, they caused some real harm… robbing our citizens of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, job opportunities, economic opportunities for small businesses. But, you know what, we got the big prize we got we got the trophy. We got the World Series, three nights of the World Series is pretty doggone good.” . . .

Ferguson said that, despite the MLB’s opposition to Georgia’s election integrity bill, which made it easier to vote and installed more voter integrity provisions.

“You can look at the Georgia law, any which way you want to, but the truth of the matter is we made it… easier to vote and harder to cheat. And, listen, fighting for fair elections… with integrity is something that we should always be doing. We should be fighting… We need to continuously improve and… make it more and more secure and easier to vote. So, I think that Republicans in the state of Georgia will continue down this path,” he said.

I, FOR ONE, FEEL THIS COUNTRY IS TOO SPORTS ORIENTED. I AM SO SICK OF ALL OF THE SPORTS PROGRAMS AND PEOPLE YELLING ABOUT THEIR TEAMS. MAY THESE SAME PEOPLE START PRAISING OUR GOD INSTEAD. LET’S HAVE ANOTHER AZUZA STREET REVIVAL ALL ACROSS THIS LAND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. GLORIFY GOD INSTEAD OF SPORTS, THAT IS REALLY WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR.

How ironic that Colorado has stricter election laws yet Georgia is accused of unfair voter/election laws. The World Series brought more revenue than the All-Star Game and more pride for Atlanta. We won more than the World Series. Commissioner Manfred should be ashamed for caving to the Left Wing pressure.

Although I have stopped watching ANY sports, I think it is great that the Atlanta Braves won! Shame on Major League Baseball for the decision they made against Georgia because Georgia did the right thing! It’s not karma, it’s called, “you reap what you sow.” They did!!
