Georgia passed a law that greatly expands people’s opportunities to vote. However, because it mandates Voter ID for absentee ballot requests, Democrats, led by Joe Biden, have announced that the bill is the Second Coming of Jim Crow. Joe went further and sought to destroy parts of Georgia’s economy by calling for Major League Baseball to move its All-Star Game out of Georgia. And the MLB franchise heeded that call.
One of the highlights of the baseball season is the All-Star Game, which was set to be played on July 13 in Atlanta. Since 1933, midway through the MLB season, fans pick their favorites from the American League and the National League and then the chosen stars compete. I’m not a baseball fan but I’m willing to bet that, in terms of ad revenue and merchandise sales, it’s an important part of the business end of pro-baseball. And it certainly brings revenue to the city hosting it.
On Thursday, Biden made one of his little scripted appearances, this time on ESPN. It’s worth noting that ESPN, which Disney owns, long ago transferred its allegiance from sports to leftism with a serving of sports on the side. Trump, who was a fine athlete when he was young, was never allowed near ESPN.
Sage Steele, ESPN’s interviewer, told Biden that

Good riddance.

Oh PLEASE, Pretty Please!
There is no need to support people that are so willfully ignorant. Go hit your little ball with your stick. No one really cares.
I watched a couple of at bats from the Red Sox opener. I used to be a big MLB fan. I didn’t watch one single pitch last season, and don’t know or care who won the World Series. I was just getting my toe wet again this season, but that killed MLB for at least another season for me.
Thank you Joe.
NFL. NBA. MLB. What are three things America does not need?
Everything the left touches gets ruined, and it’s done purposely. The left knows what they’re doing. They want every facet of American life under their control!
Learn to live without it.
That and the disrespect for the flag as shown in the photo.
Who watches MLB All Stars anyway?
I haven’t watched it for over 15 years.
They can go ahead and cancel the whole season for all I care.
That is worth repeating.
Its like a freaking home run derby now anyways.
No fundamentals.
Not fun to watch anymore.
And what they can't control, they want destroyed. (Scorched Earth Policy)

Grievance culture as an academic major is killing America. Period.
We have thousands of angry liberals indoctrinated in grievance culture now taking positions with companies and government to push narratives and compliance by the organization. Combine this with the pushing of political goals and a media/big tech along with culture firmly wedded to the doctrines and here we are.....
Companies in past decades did not have diversity czars nor did government. Academia made this an area of study and funneled tens of thousands of students into it who needed jobs. They forced their way in and now “their major” and “their opinions” are being forced upon us all.
Done with ALL professional sports.
These a-holes won’t get a dime from me.
I didn’t know they still played.
College baseball is far superior to the disaster of major league baseball.
At least, until the university “ diversity deans “ get a hold of it.
The Cubs and White Sox already killed it in Chicago. The Teams are letting Mayor Lighthead dictate how many people can be at the games, when and what times and what will be open to serve food.
The worst Mayor in the History of Chicago is now looking at the “diversity” of the teams employees....
It was only a matter of time before MLB began acting like the NBA.Once the Nike swish was placed on the MLB uniforms one knew that the chinese communists had taken control of another American professional sport.
