Earlier on Friday Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. announced the MLB is moving the 2021 All Star Game and Draft from Atlanta in response to the new voting integrity law passed in Georgia last month. The All Star Game was set to be hosted by the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park stadium on July 13. The draft was to be held in Atlanta July 11-13.
Joe Biden told ESPN on Wednesday he “would strongly support” MLB moving the game, calling the Georgia law “Jim Crow on steroids.”
The new law requires a photo ID to apply for an absentee ballot. Democrats know voter ID laws cut down on fraud which they find necessary to win elections.
On Friday night President Trump released a statement on the MLB boycott and election interference by Major League Baseball.
Donald Trump: Boycott Major League Baseball for interfering in free and fair elections!

Ok...
Unfortunately I started a couple of years early...
No one needs Delta, MLB, or CocaCola. They are frauds. The hell with them. Biden lies about the Georgia law, so does his Psaki Puppet.
Dear President Trump,
Please start a new league.
Sincerely,
The American sport fan
What a sniveling pissant Jim Hoft is.
Right On!
I just emailed the MLB with a copy to the Players Association thanking them for 50 years of memories and explaining why our family is immediately quitting all things MLB. No tickets. No MLB Network. No MLB.com. No support of public funding of MLB ballparks. No MLB merchandise of any kind. I challenged them to point to a specific provision of Georgia law that is so offensive as to just the hysterical and partisan comparisons to Jim Crow Laws and the MLB’s decision to pull the All Star Game out of Atlanta. I urge everyone to do the same. They will take notice.
Maybe in cities like Boston, NY, and LA....it won’t matter much (they might notice 5-percent less consumers over the season).
For teams like the Marlins, Braves, Astros, Royals, and Rangers...you could be looking at a 50-percent cut in attendance.
Even if fans do show up....nothing prevents them chanting ‘Trump’ during the game, or voicing serious negative chatter about the league itself.
They will come to admit by mid-season...they destroyed the business model.
Maybe tomorrow I will forward my email to each of the 30 MLB teams.
Yeah, that will turn out about as well as the Football league that was created as an alternative to the NFL, huh?
My pleasure. I’ll add Delta and MLB. CocaCola is already on my, “Not buying it” list.
Agreed at some point telling 75 million Trump supporters don’t buy or use our products they will get to a number that starts to hurt look at Texas their law is supposedly going to be even tougher then this...MLB going to announce a Texas boycott next?
What in the world is your problem?
Doesn’t take a genius to understand the point of this thread.
You don’t want anyone to point out what a sniveling pissant Jim Hoft is?
Or just me?
No more Coke products for me. I like Smart Water and Simply Limeade but I sure don’t need ‘em.
And boycotting Delta will be easy. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a smooth, on-time experience with them. Every flight I have ever taken on Delta has been screwed up one way or another.
What’s going to turn the tide in all of these “woke” business and sporting situations is when the rank and file (workers, athletes) begin to speak out against the positions taken by their bosses. One might assume that if 30 to 60 per cent of the country is against all this stuff, then 30 to 60 per cent of the workers and athletes will be also (realizing there are racial divisions on the numbers but perhaps not as great as some think).
It will be tough, especially for high profile athletes who have just come through a big social change of a somewhat different kind, namely, the end of their former apparent license to do whatever (and whoever) they wanted with no consequences. In the harsh spotlight of social media nowadays, those days are over although maybe not for some black athletes, the expectations of high moral conduct are probably greatest on white athletes (as for example Tom Brady was taken to task for tossing a trophy, as far as I know black athletes are probably still fairly free to drink, smoke, whore and gamble at their pleasure, not that I care personally because for me these are not role models so much as cautionary tales).
If let’s say a hundred prominent baseball players issued a statement saying they were not in solidarity with their league commissioners etc, and saw things in a different way, perhaps even going to the extent of questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 elections, that would mean something. Hey, the Supreme Court won’t do their job, maybe the judges could play baseball and the baseball players could issue judgements.
Woke socialism has surely overextended its hand. They are playing a pair of twos all in against stacked hands, in my opinion, and will get blown out in due time, maybe when the King of Kings shows up. Or maybe it just takes trumps.
Donald Trump is on the right path with most things he does in this difficult situation, but I hope he makes more sweeping statements rather than dealing with situations in the narrow contexts they present. This is about a lot of things more important than where they play a baseball game (I’m sure he would agree) — it’s about whether or not the integrity of voting can be trusted and whether or not the results are legitimate. Those are huge issues and the lies told by Democrats and the media must be challenged.
I don’t watch MSNBC but they have taken to advertising their wares on channels I do watch, apparently they are in their own estimation the “answer” to the “lies told” by “social influencers.”
If ever the pot called the kettle black ... you feel like throwing an object at the TV but it’s only the messenger.

Biden’s mental decline is increasing rapidly and his staff has deliberately failed to provide him with truthful information. I think many of them actually work for Ms. Human Mattress Harris to get Biden out and into a booby-hatch as soon as possible.
Obama and his Deep State Reds are waiting in the wing to jump in with both feet and make him “president obscura”.
Psaki should be jailed for just existing as a piece of excrement polluting the world. She’s either directly part of the plot to get rid of Biden, or the stupidest woman alive, or both.
The leftist media should be constantly hammered on this and other major Biden lies. Did you see how fast some papers modified their statements about what Biden said after conservatives in the media call Psaki/Biden out on his lies and errors?
Even Glenn Kessler, the fact-checker of Emperor Bezos’ Wash. Post gave Biden and his clown car media people FOUR Pinnochios. As Rep. Jim Jordan said in answer to the question of why only four, “Because that’s all you are allowed to give”.
Time to keep kicking the leftist media in the balls every time they screw up. Why not? They’ve been kicking America in the balls for decades and revenge is “SWEET”.
I’ve already begun my PERMANENT Coke boycott. By not drinking Coke products, I’M ACTING “LESS WHITE”. Coke is crap.
