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?

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.

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.

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.

GOP Rep. Jeff Duncan Moves to Strip MLB of Antitrust Exception

KYLE MORRIS | 2 Apr 2021

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) announced Friday that he and his staff had begun drafting legislation to strip Major League Baseball (MLB) of its antitrust exception after the organization moved its All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to a recently passed voting reform law in Georgia.

It used to be the Dinah Shore. And it used to be a lesbian pilgrimage site. This year, there are no spectators (California, you know) and the whole lesbian vibe pretty much has dissipated over the past few years, anyway.

Nothing could be more of a big red flashing neon sign that professional sports is no longer about 'sports', having fun, or even making money.

Almost all professional sport have become Political Action Organizations totally dedicated to getting Democrats elected.
Professional sports, and so many corporations, have morphed into a Leftist/Socialist tool under the control of the DNC.
They are using corporate logos and what used to be 'sports' simply as platforms to push the Leftist agenda.
