last week or so Georgia redid the way they do elections after the turmoil during the 2020 Presidential election where about 50% of the voters believed the democrats cheated.. I don't see the problem for asking for a ID in able to vote.. But when it was announced the left as usual went berserk .. They called out for boycotts of major businesses that have ties to Georgia.. Now the MLB has taken it a step further by relocating the MLB all-star game that was suppose to be played in Atlanta this year.. Now mind you a all star game in any sport brings many dollars to the local community.. From restaurants to hotel rooms.. Many of these businesses are locally owned and will now loose business.. I wonder how many of these businesses are owned by people that are Democrats?? This shit has to stop.. This only furthers the divide in this country..
MLB Moving All-Star Game, Draft Out of Ga. Amid Outcry Over Voting Law
MLB Moving All-Star Game, Draft Out of Ga. Amid Outcry Over Voting Law
Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Robert Manfred said the league was relocating its 2021 All-Star Game and MLB Draft from Atlanta, following outcry over Georgia's new voting restrictions.
"Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box," Manfred said in a written statement
"Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support."
Here's more from Manfred's statement:
"Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views. I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft.
“Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States. We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process. Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support.
“We will continue with our plans to celebrate the memory of Hank Aaron during this season’s All-Star festivities. In addition, MLB’s planned investments to support local communities in Atlanta as part of our All-Star Legacy Projects will move forward. We are finalizing a new host city and details about these events will be announced shortly.”
