I participate in the Neilsen Ratings and will be deleting all of my sports radio stations and TV stations from my home.

I even got the free T-Mobile MLB app this week. I already uninstalled it.


yes, contracts are being broken by major league baseball in moving the All Star Game.

I hope it hits them in the wallet big time. In the worst case they could owe millions in damages, but would not be surprising to see out of court settlements of such cases.

Then there are increased costs of moving the game to another city on short notice.

I guess Manfred is willing to see baseball lose more money, after the sports lost billions of dollars on operations last season. Go for it, Rob.

If they were intellectually honest, that they can’t abide business in a state with this voter law, they would revoke the Braves franchise, and dissolve the team or move it elsewhere.

Pro Sports continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

They're running out of feet.

This will suck for those cheaters in Atlanta. Bless their hearts. Look what they have done to their city and state by cheating in the 2020 election.

My thoughts exactly. The city of Atlanta will now lose the prestige and economic benefit of hosting the 2021 All Star Game because of the shameful voting fraud and cheating seen on video. Ruby Freeman and her co-conspirators have not been brought to justice by anyone in the State of Georgia. For this, they should lose the All Star game.

America’s corporate-entertainment-industrial-complex is in love with the deep state and its politics.

So now its obvious. Act accordingly.

The is no evidence that any legitimate voter would be denied their vote under the Georgia legislation.

That, of course, is an inconvenient truth.

The legislation puts at risk the objective parroted by Manfred and urged on by Joe Biden, to reach "...a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States.

In fact, America is at risk, and right in front of our eyes.

Similar to when the PGA moved a tourney from one of Trump’s owned facilities. I hate these CSers.

MLPA eh? How many are citizens??

Yes, it appears that being a cog in the deep-state machinery is now more important to professional sports than selling tickets and merchandise. I will have a lot of time for other things by not wasting 3 hours almost every night during spring/summer/fall watching these woke losers.

This organization apparently doesn't know the demographics in Atlanta. They missed their target.

There will many black (and white) employees suffering because of MLB’s decision. Many of those people rely on the tips and services that they provide.

Good luck MLB finding your Non-Segregated Utopia to display your vanity.

Why don’t we just over vote for certain non allstar players and then they can feel the effects of it too. when a few non allstars show up at the allstar game won’t they feel stupid. Just waiting now to see their rules for allstar voting.

All these “celebrities” and “entertainers” should realize by now that the audience doesn’t need them — they need the audience.

If they don’t want the work, the major Democrat cities are still taking in the homeless.

Hence, why I no longer watch any kind of professional sports. They are all dead to me.

Arizona’s next if they have the will. Solid red states should require voter id out of principle.
