Will we see some of them renouncing their memberships in the near future?

Pete Coors quit? Lol, no chance. Not only does he support Trump, they moved the All-Star game to a stadium bearing his name. Silly MLB.

Ain't no way in hell Lou Holtz is quitting. I've seen him give interviews and he is definitely MAGA. FORMER college coaches do not need to LIE and pretend like they're woke so that they con ignorant teenage black athletes to come play for them.

I know. I was saying that there is no way Coors would quit.
I'll edit to be more clear.

There’s no way any of them resign.

Augusta should beat them to the punch and start revoking memberships.

This has been a disaster for MLB that MLB likely regrets, and these little activists think they've got the leverage to push Augusta National to move Augusta National from Georgia
Pure insanity

Nobody should quit Augusta. Nobody. Quit for what?
There is no reason Augusta National needs to be deprived of membership, or go out of business so cancel culture can prove a point.
Cutting off nose to spite face.
It’s a freaking institution. Seriously, the fricking azaleas and the chicken salad and the pimento cheese.
I don’t even like fricking golf. But we aren’t losing ANOTHER cultural touchstone to appease leftists. Encouraging these rich, newly woke bastards to quit. Isn’t hurting them. It’s hurting golf as a sport (which has been primarily free from kneeling and other bullshite); and hurting Georgia.
Seriously. frick. Cancel. Culture.
I want my own culture back.

Oh yeah.
Practice what you preach in public.
Out of the spot light they do what they want as they are more important than the sheep that follow them.

Augusta National WILL NEVER go out of business.
They've only recently started letting blacks and women in and they've always had a "wait list" (more like an ENVY list) that no amount of far left extortion and virtue signaling will ever diminish.
It's quite literally the greatest course in the world. There maybe some people who quit to satisfy their far left whackjob overlords, but for everyone who quits, there is MUCH MORE than a million people willing to take their spot and pay the obscene fees to get a membership.
In short, Augusta National may be the ONE organization that cannot be bullied like the rest of corporate America.

I think Augusta should revoke the membership of anyone who believes boycotting business in the state of Georgia is somehow acceptable. Starting with the chairman of MLB.
The laws in Georgia are made by the Georgia legislature. Not a bunch of fricking tech nerds who don’t live there, hate the South in General - and who want to dictate where a baseball game should be played even tho they’ve never played a game in their lives.
These assholes have wrecked the NFL, the NBA and MLB. You think professional golf is some exception?
I don’t.
For Augusta’s protection it needs to weed out these fricking tyrants. Let them for once suffer a consequence for this bullshite they are foisting on everyone else.
Or else you’re going to have drag queens joining the PGA, teeing off from the ladies tee box, so there can finally be a female masters champion. Muh Glass ceiling.
