The op-ed Dale and others cite defending Abrams was heavily edited from its original version AFTER the MLB decided to move the All Star game.

Paragraph on the left is before, paragraph on the right is AFTER. Clear attempt to cover tracks.

She removed "I can't argue with an individuals choice to opt out" (referring to boycotts -- see previous tweet)

And followed with major changes to her paragraph about the pain boycotts cause, adding in the updated version "Boycotts invariably also cost jobs."

Interesting.
To be clear here -- @ddale8 is quoting lines that did NOT change between drafts.

But it's VERY interesting that she went back in to her op-ed that starts with "boycotts work" and HEAVILY edited it after the fact to be MORE anti-boycott.
