The Georgia county that was set to host the 2020 Major League Baseball All Star Game said over the weekend that it will lose more than $100 million after the league pulled the game and draft out of the state — a decision that comes after Democrats Madeline number of false claims about the state’s new election law and signaled they would support the league boycotting the state.
Holly Quinlan, president and CEO of Cobb Travel and Tourism, said that the “estimated lost economic impact” for the county was more than $100 million.
“This event would have directly impacted our county and the state, as visitors spend their dollars on local accommodations, transportation, entertainment and recreation, food and retail throughout the county,” Cobb County Travel and Tourism said. “This would have been a big boost to Cobb businesses and help with recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The Atlanta Braves released a statement following the league’s announcement, saying that they did not support the decision and that they were “saddened that fans will not be able to see this event in our city.”

I am not sure who Cobb County historically voted for.
Funny.
If true, let them eat Tidily Winks.
But we know the election was blatantly stolen, and the PedoDementoCorruptoCrat only got a fraction of the votes reported.
~Easy
Some folks tried to warn them. 😕
After this fiasco, one HOPES that FEW voters from GA (including the DIMocRATS) will be FOOLISH enough to support ANY DIMocRAT candidate again.

Karma. Self inflicted karma.
Too bad, how sad
More Bidestruction Democrat ruin.
Aw, that's a shame. "Voted for Biden", that's adorable.
K A R M A is real. Another validation of such.
The only way liberals learn is firbad things to happen from their actions.

Atlanta and the Braves gave Hank Aaron a career and home. Now MLB says they’re racist??? What a bunch of a-hole New York Democrat race mongering pukes.
The county will not lose $100 million. Maybe the businesses and the economy will “miss out” on $100 million in cash flowing, but they will not lose. The ball park stands to miss out the most. The county will miss out on its share of sales tax and occupancy tax etc.
Yeah. Will the MLB force the Braves to move to another state? But force them to also change their name for cultural appropriation? Will the Falcons also have to find a new home?
The county voted for Biden....now they stand to lose $100 million.
Joe Biden is fast-becoming “Joe Btfsplk” a character in the comic strip “Li’l Abner” by cartoonist Al Capp.
Joe Btfsplk is well-meaning, but is “the world’s worst jinx,” bringing disastrous misfortune to everyone around him.
A small, dark rain cloud perpetually hovers over his head to symbolize this harbinger of bad luck.
Do you know what they used “Corn Cobbs” for in the old days?
Look it up because Cobb County just did it to themselves.
Ain’t Bitch a Life?
