MLB can go take a flying leap as far as I'm concerned! And they might as well take the NFL & the NBA with them!

If MLB thinks what they are doing is so righteous and in the best interest of baseball...why did they wait till everyone was focused on the incident in DC to release their statement?

Way to insult most of your customers.

Soulless, corporate whores.

So does this mean that MLB will now carefully study the voting laws in every state that has a team to make sure they are woke enough to have an All Star game there?

"Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans . . .

I call BS. In 2020, my right to vote in Georgia was effectively wiped out by fraudulent ballots introduced into the system that cancelled out my legitimate vote. The State of Georgia has taken a step to address this to ensure that legitimate voters have their voices heard, their votes counted, and that their franchise of society not be diluted. And Major League Baseball is now on record opposing this.

Considering how All-Star balloting is conducted, it doesn't surprise me that MLB would fully support ballot stuffing.

When are they going to stop using white baseballs? Or is it ok as long as you can hit the shit out of them?

They sure don't mind doing business with China. I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise when China exports its values to corporate America.

Hey @MLB, how many days of early voting are allowed in China?

Didn't they try orange in the thirties and again in 73' at Finley's push?

So here's a sports organization throwing a temper tantrum because the State of Georgia outlawed cheating?

This is sad. Baseball has been the one place to go that still feels like America was.

No loss. I wrote off ALL PRO SPORTS four years ago when that idiot quarterback kneeled on the field.

I'm still mad cause they caught the Astros cheating.

Whoever wrote up the stadium lease for the game should have been a little more careful with the language. If they had, MLB wouldn't have been allowed to leave without forfeiting a few hundred million dollars.

Yeahhhh... But who takes it in the butt? Atlanta, where most of your fraudulent ballots were centered...

It's just desserts, in a slap upside the head sorta way.

Try off-road racing. You'll be fine.

There's still LPGA and Beach Volleyball, so all hope is not lost.
