Because clearly the Baseball Hall of Fame is within its rights as a private institution to choose its speakers. Even more so, when such ungrateful guests have absolutely nothing to do with baseball.

Ungrateful? Ungrateful to whom? The Hall invited them because they were in Bull Durham. Their political views have nothing to do with their movie roles (or at the very least, the one they are being honored for). If I invited you to the Yankees game because I want to honor your ratty sweater and weeks before the game you speak out against juggling and I disinvite you, how does that make
you an ungrateful guest, maroon?
"Clearly within its rights" -- So fucking what? I still think it's disgusting. I'd be within my rights to call you a brain-washed follower who is pissed off with anyone who exercises their right to speak their mind just like the President of the Hall of Fame, but my right to do so has nothing to do with what's going on here.
Sarandon and Robbins are against the war. What the hell does that have to do with baseball? They are
for free speech and the many liberties we enjoy in this country. The President of the Hall said they were endangering the lives of the troops by voicing their opinion. What? He's more narrow minded than you: "Must agree with war. Support Bush no matter what. Punish all who disagree."
The whole thing is even dumber than the Clear Channel/Dixie Chicks incident.
