I thought maybe put in Sports section, but it's probably more political than Sports since it involves Senators.
A group of Senators, including Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley introduced a bill to end Major League Baseball’s monopoly by eliminating their special antitrust exemption.
The group says the bill is an immediate reaction to MLB’s decision to relocate the All Star game from Georgia to Colorado.
Forbes says The antitrust exemption, which dates back to a 1922 Supreme Court case and has been held up in multiple subsequent cases, is the only one of its kind for a sports league. Its elimination would expose MLB to antitrust litigation and weaken the MLB’s power to reduce competition.

Good idea. All for-profit entities should be subject to anti-trust laws. The Big Tech companies are next.
What a pity you rightards only support that now out of spite because MLB is moving the all-star game out of Georgia and because Republicans are now pushing the idea...
... and not because of principles. Which you clearly lack.
There are people who for years who have gotten tired of the massive salaries with many strikes for decades and cable TV increases and insane prices to go see games with your family. Capitulation point in sports happened for some. Then the sports turned political. Capitulation for a little more. The virus affected people. And the stands were almost empty. For me at this point I have stopped about 90% of my sports viewing and unless its paid for by someone else I will most likely not pay for a another game in any major league sport. And Progs are ruled by their god. the party is their god. They have Abrams and two brand new senators in Georgia and they take away an all star game from an area dominated by blacks. You cheated. And have been. By hook or by crook you will give us a Castro, Stalin, Mao type government whether we want it or not. And then the Mensheviks will become Bolsheviks and the deaths will pile up.
"And Progs are ruled by their god. the party is their god."
A rather odd observation given it was the loser of the last presidential election who led his flock to the Capitol to "stop the steal," which turned into an unprecedented event of sedition that unfolded before our very eyes.
ah wasn't anything I hadn't seen since Nov 2016...actually frankly, far more peaceful then most of the events the insurrectionist, looting, rioting, assaults, murder etc I'd seen since Nov 2016...
