They're not moving out of Georgia because of the new Georgia voting law.

They're moving out of Georgia because of Democrats' lies about the new Georgia voting law.

"No one's allowed to vote after 5:00PM", "No one is allowed to bring food and drinks to people standing in line to vote" etc.

All lies, but the media and other Democrats are pushing them for all they're worth.

So... They're moving it from a blue state to a red state. Yep, that'll show 'em.

MLB moving All-Star Game from Atlanta over Georgia voting law


Thoughts?
Great way to drive ratings down. Perfect with a new contract coming up, as given the economy of the sport, it will be less generous than the prior one.

My Pillow? Sports advertising is aimed at young people - beer ads, clothes, tech, crossovers and ev's. These are the "woke" companies. I'm afraid no one gives a crap about what old boomers like myself buy or do for fun. It's their world now and we should let them build it as they see fit.

I wonder if a few teams refuse to send any players.
Not that I support this move by MLB as I no nothing about the new voting laws of the state, but your comment makes no sense.

The move would not happen if the owners did not agree to it, and the request to move it started with the players association, a stance that would not be taken without majority support from the players.

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

For a sport that was already on a downswing, they really could not afford to do something like this.

This is going to blowback on them bigtime...

Yes. You need ID for everything. So requiring ID to vote is magically racist now.

So the geniuses/butt-kissers at MLB think voter integrity is unimportant? Oh I know, they don't even know what the law says. They just jump when their masters say "JUMP!"

I wrote off the Tigers last year after many decades as a fan and follower. When they took a knee, I took an exit. 95% of those schulubs would be shoveling s*** for a living if they hadn't won Life's Athletic Lottery. Half are from foreign countries, why are they here if the USA sucks so bad?

I can tell you why. They are 95% idiots, imbeciles, morons, and/or blind followers. I'll never be back. I hope your Masters reward you, morons!
