Hilarious. He says Georgia will not be bullied by socialists and their sympathizers, whoever that is. But I guess being bullied into unnecessary legislation to appease conspiracy theorists and cultists is OK. Georgia was proud of their election laws until Trump lost. His loss and the subsequent loss of two senate seats are the only reason they changed the law.
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ponderosa again."
Most owners and players are conservative. They had no choice but to lie and say they supported this. Anyone who thinks they truly do is delusional
Not true. Athletes, or more specific white athletes are socially liberal/free market capitalists.
MLB has been pro-active in trying to grow interest in the game from the black community. That is why the owners gave their blessing. The White/Hispanic players are standing by the blacks that play the game in solidarity.
This is similar to when the players association years back wanted the All-Star game moved from Phoenix when their Gov signed into law a strict immigration bill that would of legalized "racial profiling". The league had no time to move it so it stayed. However Albert Pujols and A-Rod declined to appear, even though they used injury as their excuse.
And no I am not delusional. Been in the business for 40 plus years.
It’s the Dems who will have a problem. People continue to overlook the fact Trump lost due to dumb whites who were brainwashed into thinking they’re somehow racist. Blacks and minorities were the reason Trump didn’t lose 380-140
Plus all those Cobb County (where the stadium is located) white women who voted for Biden aren’t die-hard Democrats either. Start raising taxes and letting more illegals in and you will see a shift back in 2022.
Congratulations to MLB for demonstrating corporate civic responsibility. Always a good thing when an American entity "speaks up & shows up" when voting access & civil rights and democracy are being suppressed.
Have you read the bill at all? Or do you get your talking points from Vox and MSNBC?
And I won't be watching because the NBA had the poor judgement to dive into politics. Wouldn't care if they were on the Left or the Right, sports shouldn't be political.
NBA? Wrong sport. Sounds like you don't watch anyway
It's idiotic. But nothing that surprises me. Manfred is a horrible Commish. He seems intent on destroying the game.
Manfred probably didn't have a choice. I don't like him either. But word was a lot of players were going to opt out of the game & then you'd be in big trouble when you can't even fill a team.
This is great news, and exactly what has to happen to get these fascist red states to back down from their attempts to keep as many minority voters from the polls as possible. Hit them in the only place they truly care about, their wallets. THAT is a language they always hear, even as they are tuning out the voices of their own voters.
How is Georgia attempting to keep minorities from voting????

It seems you are the one who hasn't read it.
