There is legal precedent that states organizations are entitled to rights such as the right to free speech. If an organization encounters political retribution from an official, then that is now an infringement on the organization's right to free speech. I don't care if ordinary folk want to boycott the organization, that is fine, but anything from officials in either an official or unofficial capacity is an infringement of rights.

Let me rephrase.  Once you decide to get into politics you shouldn't be shocked when you're involved in politics.  I have to wonder if there is something in MLB's antitrust exemption that addresses this.  As for first amendment rights, you are correct, the government cannot punish you for speech, but that opens up a can of worms about what constitutes punishment.  Using your own logic how is Biden not engaging in the exact same behavior by encouraging the boycott?  I know you don't fall into this category, but if Trump advocated a boycott, and got one, for a far left law passed in Washington then people's heads would be exploding.  I think Biden initiating this really took the gloves off the whole process.
