The Commissioner of "MLB" should be immediately fired by the the "MLB" team owners and the Major League Baseball Game should be immediately returned to Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta, & the great state of Georgia did nothing wrong in revising their state election laws. Fake Democrat Incompetent, Demented, POTUS, Joe Biden should be removed from office by the Democrat Party for calling the Georgia legislation, "Jim Crow" law. Biden should resign!!!
Delta Air lines should fire its CEO for not standing by the great city of Atlanta, the Great State of Georgia. Hartsfield International Airport which is the "Home" airport and Base/Headquarters for Delta Airlines. The Delta Air Lines CEO must been high on using "Mary Jane", Drunk on too much booze or, just simply not hitting on all eight cylinders...when he open his totally uniformed yap of idiocy!!!
I feel sorry that some many thousands of innocent Georgia African-Americans and the home of the great Henry Aaron has to take this false attack on the city, businesses, the state and sport of baseball which Atlanta and Georgia love. Sad days, for Atlanta, for Georgia, for the USA, for MLB, for the one and only Hank Aaron!!
I am for canceling Delta, Woka Cola, and Baseball...and toss in United Airlines as well. I can drive a car...and avoid the Covid police and spend my money were FREEDOM rings,
The woke professionals have ascended onto these corporations.
It remains to be seen how long they keep their job if the companies they run lose money, Who competes with Delta? What soda products compete with Coke?
It’s complicated because its not just the CEO’s of these companies, its the board and staff who have embraced wokism.
Shareholders are not going to be into wokeism, when it’s their pension money on the line.
Completely agree.
They didn’t and they won’t
Just get rid of it, with interleague play now, it’s as pointless as The Pro Bowl.
A LOT of Boards of Directors need to fire CEOs also! Some of these "WOKE" corporations such as Delta, get government subsidies and tax breaks, and the CEOs should be concentrating on making them profitable. They have absolutely no business dabbling in politics! Some of these CEO clowns aren't even Americans, so they need to keep the hell out of OUR politics!
How is this vanity post supposed to be news?
especially the HR staff, where the hiring and firing happens ...
“ if the companies they run lose money”
They don’t lose money.
They lose customers where there money comes from makes the difference
Why did Texans fill the stadium last week?
Great post!
Hey, get over it Atlanta! The All Star game is now here in Denver.......where I can ignore it from closer range.
When the Union and Owners vote on terms of new MLB player agreements how are those votes validated? Can mere fans vote several times fir their favorite clauses like they can for their favorite players on the All Star ballot?
I don’t really care about baseball, but if the MLB was really concerned about this voting law and this wasn’t all just for show, why are they only stopping with the All Star Game? If this law is as repugnant as they say it is, and they believe it is so important to insert themselves into state politics, shouldn’t the league in good conscience commit itself to boycotting every league activity in the state? If this is the moral issue of our time, how is it ok to stop at one event?
Maybe they can’t make the Braves move out of Atlanta or any minor league team relocate, but they could refuse to pay per diem to league staff who attend games if the per diem contributes to the Georgia tax base. They could restrict travel in and through Ga for league officials, they could take Braves merch off league-approved clothing sale websites. If moving the all star game is justified, how is it justified to stop at just the all star game?
The value of a vanity is inversely proportional to the number of exclamations.
There’s been some chatter that MLB is now worried over black-owned businesses which will suffer because of the game being moved, and maybe some kind of compensation would occur.
I’m guessing that a dozen owners are now demanding a meeting with the Commissioner and asking where the funds will come from, and won’t it appear pretty racists if you only compensate black-owned vendors? The comical side of this...you will have some non-black run vendors who employ a majority of their employees who are black...how will you compensate them?
MLB won’t have an explanation for the owners, and that will be the tipping point where Manfred gets fired. New guy will arrive and within 24 hours....approve the 2022 All-Star Game for Atlanta (thats my prediction).
I haven’t read the Ga bill that raised a reaction.. but I live in GA and I voted absentee. I dont get the fuss over showing ID to vote.. its a ruse to give the belly acres something to whine over.
the ID showed was my drivers license.. a reason you have to vote absentee.. your signature.. address, phone #... email ..
what does the new bill have that this one didnt?
when I voted regular in years past.. had to have an ID. which was my drivers license.
——that MLB is now worried over black-owned businesses -—
What a load of crap. That sentence is the result of panic and is offered as a rationalization for reversing the decision and not abandoning Atlanta
MLB can go broke for all that I care. Same thing applies to all the other “Major League” sports organizations. I am done with them.
