MLB All-Star Game yanked from Georgia over voting law

NEW YORK (AP) — Atlanta lost Major League Baseball’s summer All-Star Game on Friday over the league’s objections to sweeping changes to Georgia voting laws that critics — including the CEOs of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola — have condemned as being too restrictive.

The decision to pull the July 13 game from Atlanta’s Truist Park amounts to the first economic backlash against Georgia for the voting law that Republican Gov. Brian Kemp quickly signed into law March 25.

Clearly Baseball wants to go the way of other sports, alienating their fan base, instead of taking care of business...MLB joins the ranks of other businesses in Atlanta such as Delta, and Coca Cola in embrassing the "Woke" culture today, and insulting half the country....Is this a good move? What say you? Should business have a say in legislation that doesn't have anything to do with their business? And what of liberal progressives who were just 5 minutes ago railing against corporations now defending their actions....?

The only embarrassing thing I see is your attempt to bind voters' rights to whatever you consider WOKE to be.

Are you upset that they are actually against Jim Crow 2.0. It was folks like you that were pissed when they integrated baseball, so it is just par for the course.

Stop making a fool of yourself, their right to vote was never changed by this addition to the law, of which a few states already have similar laws in them.

Go read the bill dumb ass.

Also Jim Crow laws was generated and supported by the Democrats for 100 years.

Yep and they are supported by Republicans today.

I have sir, notice YOU don't make any case.

No the Republicans have not created Jim Crow laws, today Blacks can easily vote, own land, businesses and more that were hard or impossible under Democratic control.

So...you are talking about EXTREME Jim Crow.....but you are ok with making it difficult for minorities to vote. Gotcha.

You are another liar as well, the right to vote is a constitutional right passed in 1870, it has been the law of the land ever since. The civil rights acts of 1864-65 overturned the Jim Crow laws the Democrats developed long ago and fought to maintain it for a long time since. The 1954 SCOTUS decision overturned another piece of Jim Crow laws Democrats had created to keep people separate and into second class situation which is demeaning.

Their right to vote still exist in Georgia, unless you want to lie about that too?

Oh? how so? Do you not believe that the integrity of the vote is important?

Major league baseball shot itself in the head with this woke move.
Millions now have a very real reason to ignore the sport other than the fact that it is highly over priced.
boring and it's overly long season.

Yeah politicizing an ENTERTAINMENT venue is a stupid decision.

Now I just found a reason to stop watching the games, which was for Entertainment fun and something to relax with, now I have to put up with politics there, forget it!

Well I guess the MLB season is over since you aren't going to watch anymore.

I won't watch. Somebody needs to resist this. The old timers knew that businesses , sports leauges etc had more to lose by getting political than they had to gain. Despite that lesson being taught to the NFL , MLB jumps in the water and should not be through a life jacket.
For God's sake I need a photo ID to get vaccinated but not to vote? Does that make any sense? Would the disenfranchized voters be out of luck for vaccination. ? This shit is so fake! Somewhere there are black people in georgia pissed off that the country thinks they lack the wherewithall to get ID! I wonder how many actually don't already have ID?

How and why is this law “Jim Crow 2.0”? Please tell me you have some facts and thoughts of your own volition to back that statement and you are not simply parroting what your party and media what they expect you to say.

I see long years ahead of us all dealing with the entrenched authoritarian socialist corporatists working
hand in glove with leftist governments to bend the will of the populace.
Call it a societal cold war.

If living without the Chinese allied Disney-ists or the long endless baseball season is the price we have
to pay I'm good with that.

Actually it does have to do directly with their business, very much, in that MLB depends on millions of fans to exist, and those fans have (or don't have) voting privileges. Now if they hold a big event in some place that's curtailing those voting privileges, those fans may or may not make an association. But when MLB pulls out because of it, then it's pretty clear they're aware of what's going on and they have their back.

But as far as things having to do with their business, it's much like last year when they suspended their own season and then put various restrictions in place in the interest of public health. Same thing. MLB doesn't make voting laws and doesn't make public health policy. But it's looking out for the public interest in both.

I think it is sad though....My friends and myself used to have a NASCAR pool that we did every year. Not huge or anything (5 bucks a race) but, enough of a diversion to break up 650 miles of road a day....Now that's done because one "woke" idiot had to get all weepy about a door pull on a garage door....See, that's what this does, take all the fun out of life....

How did we get to a place where the stupid brainwashed masses consider bringing a picture ID and a bottle of water to a polling place "Jim Crow" repression in action?

just out of curiosity, do you ever type anything that isnt stupid, ignorrant, or ......stupid?

 

[LeftofLeft]

Every time Republicans are successful with voting related legislation, Democrats immediately invoke Jim Crow. Keep in mind that Jim Crow is a legacy of Democrats; yet another reason why the party needs to be renamed.

Actually, Branch Rickey was a conservative Republican.

The leftists were the ones that opposed breaking the color barrier.

Oh this is great. No, do go on, please. I love watching pretzels make themselves.
Tell the class who these "leftists" were that opposed breaking the color barrier. Ty Cobb maybe? He was a lefty batter. He was from Georgia too.

When the movie industry threatened to take a huge number of jobs out of Georgia over anti-homosexuality legislation, many conservatives said "Fine, take your stuff and go". But now it is an outrage when the MLB does something similar?

 

[WTF19]

**** MLB, NFL, Delta, and coke....its quite obvious that the retards running these shows have been paid off, dont care if they lose sales , or dont care about AMERICANS. boycott every one of the businesses that want to partake in politics, instead of the running their business.
ta-ta MLB< NFL< COKE< DELTA

Some maybe, but Conservatives believe in the free market, and liberty...It is what has made this country great....But, if you are trying to say that Republican's that have protected their power through graft, and enriching themselves through their positions need to go, I am with ya....

I don't know Ty Cobb's political alliances at all.

But he supported the idea of breaking the color barrier.

What was Ty Cobb's reaction when Jackie Robinson broke 'The Color Barrier'? Did he comment publicly?

Answer (1 of 5): He did. "Certainly it is O.K. for them to play. I see no reason in the world why we shouldn't compete with colored athletes as long as they conduct themselves with politeness and gentility. Let me say also that no white man has the right to be less of a gentleman than a colored ...
