Everybody knows facts don’t matter then you’re trying to make a point. For example, that Georgia’s new voter integrity law is racist, not simply intended to prevent illegal voting from hijacking another election. I dare you to find an unbiased article (that doesn’t require whitelisting to read) regarding the Georgia law online through a standard search engine request. It will not be easy because presenting unvarnished facts has a tendency to undermine the official narrative – which is always the same.
The MLB announced Friday that it would be moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to Georgia’s voter integrity law.
“Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box,” said Commissioner Rob Manfred in a statement. “In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States.” ”
“We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process,” Manfred continued. “Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support.”
Wokism makes you do dumb things at warp speed.
Nearly 30% of businesses in Atlanta are black-owned, and Georgia will face an estimated lost economic impact of more than $100 million due to the MLB’s boycott of Atlanta.
It’s always more important to take a stand on social justice than to actually assist it.
From now on I’m going to get all my news from the Babylon Bee, as it’s at least as true as what you find elsewhere.
US — Major League Baseball has announced that they will no longer be requiring any form of valid ID for the purchase of alcohol at all games.
“We stand firm against racism and will never again require ID, and unfairly restrict people from purchasing alcohol,” said MLB spokesman Doug Wisacre. “Drinks are for everyone and hydration should always be easier to access, not harder!”
“Not everyone has the same level of access to acquiring an ID and we want to create an inclusive environment.” Mr. Wiseacre continued. “That’s why we will serve beer to all fans, no fuss no muss!”
In addition to not checking for ID, MLB is committing to no longer requiring locker room passes, or security badges which are harmful and unfairly discriminate against those who would want to enter restricted areas for nefarious reasons. They hope that this important step will provide more fairness and increase safety at all games.
At publishing time, MLB was already reconsidering not requiring ID as they are now under investigation for serving alcohol to thousands upon thousands of minors.
** In addition to MLB, Coke and Delta see a complete list (so far) of idiotic corporations opposed to integrity in voting in America here. I trust they will be joined by many more idiots before this firestorm has passed.

But they will most likely soon be requiring vaccination passports to enter the stadium. LOL
I love the Bee.
