MLB yanks All-Star Game out of Atlanta over Georgia's new voting law
2021-04-03
That's the law that's "like Jim Crow on steroids."
Yesterday President Biden suggested, today we have the report that Major League Baseball responded to the merest touch of the whip like a thoroughbred. This continues the discussion started in that thread yesterday.
[NYPOST] MLB is taking its ball and leaving Georgia.

The league announced on Friday that it is moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta as backlash grows over a new Georgia law that is seen as an attack on voter access.

"I have determined the best way to demonstrate our value as a sport is relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft," commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

"MLB fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box."

The Braves, in a statement, opposed the move.
A shame you’ll have to eat the loss, guys. But someone has to suffer for the greater good, and you made the mistake of living in Georgia. Still, consider the fact that the entire city of Atlanta can eat the lost revenue alongside you!
