Baseball Moves All Star Game Out of Atlanta to Punish Georgia for Voting Law


From the story: “Georgians – and all Americans – should fully understand what the MLB’s knee-jerk decision means: cancel culture and woke political activists are coming for every aspect of your life, sports included. If the left doesn’t agree with you, facts and the truth do not matter,” Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said in a statement. “This attack on our state is the direct result of repeated lies from Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams about a bill that expands access to the ballot box and ensures the integrity of our elections. I will not back down.” From later in the story: “.@MLB played games in Cuba, where the brutal Castro Regime murders its own citizens and denies them basic human rights like freedom of speech and free elections,” tweeted Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R). “Now these hypocrites are bowing to the woke liberal mob that upset over common-sense election reforms” (The Hill). From Hugh Hewitt: By moving the Major League Baseball All-Star Game from Atlanta, where it was scheduled to be played this summer, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has, in the opinion of many Republicans, declared the league an arm of the Democratic Party and baseball itself to be a blue sport, with values opposed to the Constitution and representative government (Washington Post). South Carolina Republican Jim Duncan wants to strip MLB of its antitrust exemption (Just the News).
