Biden Says He Would Support Moving All-Star Game Over Georgia Voting Law

[WelfareQueen]

And you are happy about this because.....why?

Because, Georgia needs to feel some pain over their efforts to halt black voters from voting. Bigly!!!

Explain exactly how the law prevents black voters from voting.

 

[Anathema]

Another example of consequence culture at work...

True. Which is why MLB, Delta Aurlines, Coca Cola, etc... will not be getting any money from me in the near future.

 

[theHawk]

Good question:

Because we respect other countries laws?

But not our own laws?

I'm a huge Braves fan. Wearing their cap right now. I was even going to try to go the the all star game. So not happy, but I totally support it.

“Deeply Disappointed” – Atlanta Braves SMACK MLB over decision to move All-Star Game out of Atlanta

No doubt. It sucks. It was supposed to be a huge celebration of Henry Aaron.

As much damage as can be done to the DemoKKKrats' latest Senate win, I support it.

Marvin does realize, but is in total denial that the Confederates in the South, were the main slave owners.
No matter how many times you type demoKKKrats will NOT change the fact the conservatives are the guilty ones.
Southern Dixiecrats were Conservatives and associate with the current (R) trump party.

Suck that Marvin.

Lincoln was a Republican, Loseco. Suck on that for while.

Lincoln was a Liberal. Southern slave owners were Conservatives.

HaHa, and ya'll knew him well, eh? Moron.

" Totalitarian Posers Of All Inclusive With None Exclusive "

* Bureaucratic Collectives Collect Arrears By Siphoning From Promises Of Economic Growth *

Maybe we can get the Georgia Legislators to hand out free water at the All Star Game

The major league baseball association is not pushing a private socialism cut from its dynasty , it is just getting out of scope from hypocrite psychopaths looking to demand that the fascism of their fervent fashion be based on anti-racist racism - CDZ - Why Have Socialists Not Privatized The Socialist Ideals ? .

The sports franchises barter that tax payer money be fronted to construct stadiums and the lagniappe of remittance to municipalities in tax revenue is not ever credited back to the taxpayer .

The NBA announced right after their lowest viewed all star game that they will not be sponsoring BLM next year....learned a lessen...the MLB front office must be filled with morons.....

I know you are too stupid to realize it, but you are telling on yourself and showing who you really are. You instantly went to "BLM". This shows everyone that you know these measures are meant to suppress the minority vote (even though not a single word was said about minorities in the law). And your little cackling fit shows you LOVE these laws and shows why you love them. So, thank you for being too stupid to hide who you are. Clarity is good. We are at a crossroads and need to stand up and be counted. And we know who you stand with....

Hypocrite, tell that to 'em the next time tomahawk chop.

Overpaid prima donnas.....who cares

Whelp, that would be the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, who stood to benefit from positive publicity not to mention an economy boost. Now they'll be benefiting from negative publicity.

You get what you pay for. Georgia bought this. Atlanta didn't, but that's the price.

Yanno what, the Braves franchise has moved twice before....

This year's summer All Star Game (ASG) was supposed to take place in Atlanta. Now it won't. Thank the water-hating crackers in the Georgia state legislature for that.

>> “Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box,” Manfred said. “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.”​

​

Though the game will no longer take place in Atlanta, the 2021 Midsummer Classic will still celebrate the memory of the late Hank Aaron, an Atlanta icon who passed away on Jan. 22. MLB will also move forward with planned investments to support local communities in Atlanta as part of the All-Star Legacy Projects.​

​

“We are finalizing a new host city, and details about these events will be announced shortly,” Manfred said.​

​

The Players Alliance issued a statement in support of the decision, saying: “We want to make our voice heard loud and clear in our opposition of the recent Georgia legislation that not only disproportionately disenfranchises the Black community, but also paves the way for other states to pass similarly harmful laws based largely on widespread falsehoods and disinformation.​

​

“While we will support those in need in whichever city the game is ultimately relocated to, we will also uphold our commitment to those Georgians we’ve already planned to serve. We will use our voice, our platform, and our partnerships now more than ever to create real, tangible change for the Black community to stand up for every American’s right to vote.​

​

“We will not be silenced. We won’t back down in the fight for racial equity. We will never stop breaking barriers to the ballot box.”​

​

... This was to have been the first All-Star Game held in Atlanta since 2000 and the first at Truist Park, which opened in 2017. <<​

So proud to be a baseball fan right now. Even though just yesterday another fan and I were in a long conversation about MLB's outlook and what it's doing wrong in recent changes. And because I am a baseball fan I noticed in yesterday's Opening Day game that Georgia's team the Atlanta Braves was sporting a shoulder patch proudly poclaiming "All Star Game" on its uniforms. Those patches will now have to come off. Or if they like, stay on there to attract more attention to what went down. Kinda sucks for the city of Atlanta, which certainly wasn't behind the antidemocratic bullshit, but let it be a lesson to the yahoos in the rest of the state who keep electing the Confederate mindset and the Marjorie Taylor Fucking Greenes.

YER OUT!

Do you understand that the new laws in Georgia actually increase voter access?

No, you don't, you are too stupid to know the truth, facts and reality.

We know that the people peddling that lie know you are dumb enough to believe them.

Did MLB miss the drop in the NBA fan base...stupid is as stupid does...and these morons didn't even read the GA bill....

MLB players, as well as coaches and other personnel, are known to drink water.
Fact.

Sometimes somebody even hands it to them.

Maybe CHINA can watch it. They support NBA. NFL is losing many fans. I was hoping Baseball ,being mostly Regular American ,could be reasonable. Looks like it ain't so.

Fun fact: the very first Ku Klux Klan kross burning, ever, took place just outside the same city -- Atlanta -- during the re-formation of that organization. However it wasn't a Friday, it was late on a Thursday night, specifically Thanksgiving, in 1915.

That KKK was actually legally chartered in Georgia at that time. Until a later governor (Ellis Arnall) got the charter rescinded. Again, actions having consequences.
