Greg Abbott won’t toss 1st pitch tonight in GA protest!

[Desperado]

So whiny little bitch Republicans can't STFU about how those poor widdle small biz owners in Atlanta won't get their $100 from the All-Star game, then Abbott declares that he won't let small biz owners make $100 million in Houston or Arlington, as punishment?

What makes you think that MLB actually WANTS conservatives like Gov. Abbott involved in their sport? The guv is doing them a favor by opting out of supporting their enterprise.

MLB is apolitical. The PLAYERS made the call on Atlanta.

If that's true, that's what's ailing MLB. Allowing the inmates to run the penitentiary isn't usually a very good idea. They don't have a stake in the continued viability of the enterprise.

Purely a biz decision for MLB pal. Minimally 10 All Stars said they would not play in GA.
What do you suppose would have happened to ratings if 10 of the best players in baseball had decided to sleep in

It would make no difference, To the average American they would be hard pressed to name 10 baseball players

MLB made the decision to make themselves a blue sport. When the stands go less than half filled, they'll figure out it was a bad decision. "#Get woke, go broke!"

.

*makes note* Constitutional rights are "Blue" issues.

WTF are you crying about? Restrictions on voters in GA are much less than NY where MLB is located. You stupid commies should try educating yourself before you spew provably false propaganda.

Also MLBs decision is something they have every right to make, just don't cry when there are consequences. #Get woke, go broke.

The legislation authorizes the Republican-majority legislature to appoint the state election board’s majority while demoting the elected secretary of state, Georgia’s top election official, to a non-voting position.

It also allows the state board to remove local supervisors it deems derelict and replace them with individuals of its choosing.

"

And?????????????? Wasn't the legislature the body that gave the Sec of State the responsibility for elections to begin with? They have every right to modify the duties of the SOS, if they so choose.

You're a liar, MLB made the decision, it didn't come through the players association.

.

I see - So the players can’t voice an opinion to MLB without checking with the players association?
So many know-nothings, so little time!

Of course you have a link to verify your lies, right commie?

You heard it here first: Rockies Coors Field will get the 2021 All-Star game.

Hope they get a hail storm like they did in 1982, with grapefruit sized hail. It'd be justice for the commie assholes.

So how can MLB have a deal like this with a country that has a history of well documented human rights violations?

MLB signs deal with China's largest tech company (cnn.com)

But Republicans don't care about Human Rights, so your post is bad faith.

Plenty of Republicans were very vocal about sanctioning China over the Hong Kong situation. Plenty were regarding Uyghur genocide as well.

C'mon.

The few GOP voices were used to jab China, not for Human Rights. Republicans certainly didn't speak out against the oppressive and excessive force being used on Russian, Polish, and Hungarian citizens. Among other authoritarian regimes.

No, by that standard they do, as they spoke out against each, in addition to crackdowns in Türkiye and Myanmar and the Kurds.

That would depend on the Democrat. Turkey is a good example. Many Democrats and Republicans have refused to vote in favor of the government acknowledging the Armenian Genocide due to lobbying from the Turkish government. Sure, it's a historical genocide, but denial of it is no different from denial of the Holocaust.

There are members of each party that will remain silent or will defend certain regimes if they have business connections there. It's like how corporations pretend to care about social issues here but ignore equivalent or worse issues overseas.

Very few people are truly consistent in supporting human rights.

And?

Because if slave labor and genocide aren't concerning to someone then why would a much lesser issue of supposed vote suppression be concerning to them?

It's a measure of character. When you see these inconsistencies, you realize someone is virtue signaling but don't actually care.

I'm not confusing anything! If MLB is concerned about the rights of people, then they shouldn't be doing business with China.
