Following faux conservative outrage at the movement of the All-Star game from Atlanta to Denver, Major League Baseball offered the following reasoning for the move:
An anonymous spokesman with access to inside information said today, “We understand the disappointment of those in Atlanta and Cobb County at the movement of this game. We understand and sympathize with the hundreds of people of color who will lose tens of thousands of dollars due to our decision to move the game to a majority white city with more restrictive voting laws than Georgia,”
“That said, we felt moving the game to a state where the citizens are more compliant to government rule, who are more willing to be subservient to state/federal dictates, over-rides having the game in a state where the citizens are displaying a disturbing amount of independence and exerting states rights to reform their election law as they see fit, not what's in the best interest of the country”.
“We hope the citizens of Georgia will learn a valuable lesson in this, and become more open to change, or, in other words, you know, the thing”.
“We also want to remind the fans that valid picture ID will be required to get into the game”.
Developing...
It is hard to get whiter than Denver.
Try the conservative/Evangelical bastions of:
Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City
I can hardly wait to not watch it or, any other game for that matter.
But CBS could choose not to cover the Masters.
Colorado has had universal mail-in voting for a long time. Everyone receives a mail-in ballot. Someone who receives a mail-in ballot may vote in person instead, if they want to.
Because, Colorado has a ‘rat Governor.
Not so. The LPGA can only remove the the sanction, Augusta owns the title the title “The Masters”. Augusta can still play the Masters exactly as it has in the past and the LPGA can’t do a damn thing about it.
I’m having fun with you. Pretty hard to move an entire golf course.
Masters is only Masters with Augusta.
The LPGA is the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Did you mean the PGA?
Why can’t Atlanta and/or Georgia sue MLB?
If there are signed contracts they most can.
The Masters could shop the tournament to any network they want, and CBS loses a lot of money.
I have been preaching this message since MLB decided to move the game: Valid picture ID to travel to the game by air, check into hotel, and enter the stadium -- all of which are places of public transport/accommodation under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Per new MLB rules all batters must show the home plate umpire picture ID before entering the batter’s box and immediately after scoring a run . Failure to do so will invoke an automatic out, same as the infield fly rule.
MLB—fun as a kid. Today’s “action” is a good way to start a nap!
