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


Thoughts?
It's idiotic. But nothing that surprises me. Manfred is a horrible Commish. He seems intent on destroying the game.

Well, I was planning to take the kids to their first Braves game this year. I’ve decided to cancel baseball now.

Besides, next will be pressure to change the team name as well.

Yep, near the end of the 2019 MLB attendance was already down about 1 MILLION fans.

Fans already upset of some of these mega contracts, tv package pricing and souvenirs. They're supposed to play ball not politics. Big sports will learn.

Actually, a real power move would be to move the Braves out of Atlanta. They don't have the guts to do that

Voter suppression is bad for business. The MLB is a private corporation and under capitalism, can do what is best for its business.

The good ol' boys in Georgia can spin this any way they want, but the bottom line is that to them, too many of the wrong people voted in the last election. And just like it was in the old south, that must be stopped.

Me, too. And guess who this will harm the most. Minorities, especially Blacks. Atlanta has a significant Black population so any left-wing knee-jerk reaction bites them in the butt. Badly. Idiots.

Watch Coca-Cola leave the state and take all their jobs with them, too. Sorry to those who'll be forced to move away from family and friends or lose their jobs.

And to think...

We already have a thread where all the right wingers were crying about "wokeness" and sports.

Now this.

I guess there is still bass fishing and monster trucks that you all can watch.

As someone who lives in Atlanta I hope all these businesses leave so the state goes red again and my traffic improves. I really most want the Hollywood people the hell out of here more than anything
