BREAKING: MLB Moves This Summer's All-Star Game From Atlanta to One of the Whitest Cities in America

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

the REPUBLICAN Governor didn't make the MLB game depart either.

He sure as **** did. He signed this restrictive turd of bill into law in a locked room filled with white faces. It's absolutely his fault, and his state is suffering the consequences for it. **** him.

So if you think the Governor is a Democrat

I don't think that, and never said that you stupid, dishonest ************. Try and keep up. Are you morons even capable of dressing yourselves?

As for the food and drink, well the State should make sure the lines are not that long on Election Day so water and food is not needed...

That's a good part of the law. The new law says if voters have to stand in line more than an hour, it has to be fixed before the next election, either with more polling places or more voting machines. That's good for everyone (if it's enforced).

I will be honest MSM is making a stink over a law that was intended to appease the Trump base.

ID’s for voting is a simple fix with Democrats helping those that need one get one.

All the rest is just pure nonsense and Smerconish made some great points about the law and if people could listen to more level headed people like Smerconish then maybe we can have a real debate...

( Not taking a Jab at you about debating... )

You're right, the law was to appease the "base," and it probably made them happy by tightening up a lot on mail in voting, which the Trumpybears hate, and it pretty much eliminates the related ballot drop boxes. 1 for 100,000 voters and it has to be inside an open polling place--pretty much obviates the entire reason for having them. And it reduces early voting during run offs to one week instead of four(that oughta solve the two Dem senator problem next time).

I think the reason the Dems are so pissed is that it is Dems who use mail in voting, so regardless what color they are, that's an option that's been seriously limited for them.

As for ID, I don't know enough details about what you have to provide to get one. If it requires a birth certificate to get a 'free' ID, you still have to pay for the birth certificate. Around here, that's under $20, but some states charge a lot more. How do you prove residency for the ID if you're homeless and staying with a cousin, or temporarily living in your car?

So, if MLB can take a stand and remove the All Star Game from Georgia because of something they disagree with, why are people up in arms that politicians in Georgia are taking a similar stand?

On nearly every political issue, politicians will take stand. When the issue involves the liberal narrative, liberal politicians will stand with their own....whether such a stand is justified or not.

You claim is akin to the much used but weak argument that "47% of the people favor this". This is expected since about 47% of our voting public constitutes the dyed-in-the-wool Democrat Party voters. They will fall for any lie put out by the liberal leaders, such as the Liar in Chief, Joe Biden.

It is likewise expected that Democrat Party members will stand with MLB in expressing opposition to the Georgia law that clearly Biden lied about.

 

[asaratis]

You are talking like a Socialist, MLB is an ENTERTAINMENT corporation, their business is entertainment not politics which are the province of the State government and the voters.

Meanwhile you are still clinging to the numerous democrat lies about the Georgia Voter law.

Stop LYING!

It is not surprising at all that many liberals are "loyal liars" for the cause. They repeat the Democrat Party regardless of the lies contained therein.

It is indicative of their dumbed-down conditioning and brainwashing.

Um, I didn't make any claim.

I asked a question.

If that's too much of a curve ball for you, just say so. But don't say I made some claim when I didn't...

what you wrote does raise questions and issues about obtaining proper ID and community organizers should work on solving this issue with helping people getting the proper ID so many more people can vote.

As for the other stuff it is clear the GOP is out to limit the vote and what need to be done is play their own game and when the State Flips Blue then repeal the law...

Who do you know that doesn't have an ID?

 

[Mac-7]

Voter I.D's are a form of Poll Tax, which is Unconstitutional.

Not so

you are just making up nonsense on the fly

 

[Weatherman2020]

God, shut the **** up with this "Democrats" shit. The MLB is a corporation. They moved a game. They're allowed to.

Go elect politicians who want to change laws to where corporations don't have rights if you don't like it. I dunno what else to say other than I don't care.

Hilarious watching you Leftards spin your progressive actions after it hits the fan showing how moronic you are.

In asking why people took issue with politicians taking a similar stand, you claimed that they did.

Don't say you didn't make a claim when you did.

If logic is too tricky for you, don't ask questions.

They moved it for hypocritical reasons, that is why democrats are looking foolish here.

They screwed the black majority of Atlanta that would have gained around $100 MILLION, move it to a 70% White city that whites will now reap the windfall, and have a more restrictive voting law than in Atlanta.

In this thread I started, is this economic impact post 8 that shows Blacks in the city be a big victim of politics.

Don't you ever think beyond your nose?

LOL, the far right, conservative, 21st Century Republican Party under the thumb of Trump and his authoritarian demagoguery don't think beyond their own self interest; the Pols put their job first, the rest of Trump's supporters are racists or grifters as well as hypocrites, callous assholes or dumb as a box of hammers.

Awwww manlover talking about his boyfriend again and parroting his propaganda...how sweet.

Gee, I forgot to add your hate for the LGBTQ set. Anymore did I miss in my analysis of your lack of empathy and thus sociopathic mental illness?

Now now, topic is MLB, not the mentally ill who think they’re Napoleon or Golden Girls.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Reducing Poll Stations & Drop Boxes in Minority Areas = Longer Lines.

Reducing Hours at Polling Stations in Minority Areas = Longer Lines

No....Repeat.....NO Voter Fraud in Georgia.

Voter I.D. = Poll Tax.

What the **** does providing a snack and water to people hours long lines have to do with voter integrity = nothing.

this bill makes he time longer not shorter. 7 am to 7 PM possible.
drop boxes are illegal until this bill. and no polling places were closed.

BREAKING: MLB Moves This Summer's All-Star Game From Atlanta to One of the Whitest Cities in America
BY BRYAN PRESTON APR 05, 2021

Excerpt:


Major League Baseball has announced that it is playing the 2021 All-Star Game in Denver, Colo. instead of Atlanta, Georgia.

The Colorado Rockies will host the 2021 MLB All-Star Game after the decision to move the event from Atlanta over Georgia’s restrictive voting law, according to multiple reports.
ESPN and Altitude TV reported the game was going to be moved to Coors Field in Denver on July 13. Neither the Rockies nor MLB immediately responded to Fox News’ request for comment.

MLB playing politics, something they should have avoided doing for obvious reasons.

Now they just lost me, never again will I watch baseball or support it in anyway at all!

Corporate decision, not to intentionally support the state of Georgia, in Georgia's bid to keep black people from voting. The state went extreme and against it's citizens. You cannot expect corporations to go along with it, as it just isn't right. Never know. Could start a trend. Coke, Home Depot and others disapprove also. MLB was just the first to get to register their vote.

Oh ,well . Only Pro Wrestling is left to watch.

[beagle9]

That "idiot" Mayor is BLACK and a democrat.

Please go away you are looking foolish here.

The black mayor had absolutely nothing to do w/the law that was signed that's causing the backlash from corporations. The idiot Governor did.

So the only one that's a proven idiot in here, is you.

#TooFunny

She is the MAYOR for Atlanta, I already know about the Governor which I ignored to show that the Mayor didn't give a shit about the large black constituents losing out on all that economic booost...., that is why she is an idiot for letting the black majority down....

You show that you don't care about your fellow blacks being a big loser in this politicizing of the Voter laws by a Corporation, by most or all the employees who don't even live in Georgia. The extra money they could have gotten now goes elsewhere...., to a mostly white city.

You have long been known as one of the biggest idiots in the forum, you are proving it very well here too...

Whose to say that the MLB might be leaving under the guise of the voter debacle, and so it is just using it to get the hell out of that hell hole hmmmmmm ?????

Sometimes situations present opportunity, and that might be exactly what went down.

Good job, baseball!

MLB is now BLM, spelled backwards!!

No excuses. And you can stop with the dumb shit. Blacks died to be able to vote so missing a few dollars really isn't going to mean much.

Died for their causes, and yet here they are once again hurting themselves by supporting or rallying against their own economic interest once again. You just can't make the crap up I tell ya. Wow
