MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark said players are ready to discuss moving the summer's All-Star game out of Atlanta after the state legislature passed an election reform bill restricting voter access, the Boston Globe reported.
The 91st MLB All-Star game is scheduled for the Atlanta Braves' Truist Park on July 13 and they're planning to have full capacity.
"Among highlights, the bill would require a photo ID in order to vote absentee by mail, after more than 1.3 million Georgia voters used that option during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also would cut the time period people have to request an absentee ballot and limit where ballot drop boxes can be placed and when they can be accessed."
"One of the biggest changes in the bill would give the GOP-controlled legislature more control over election administration, a change that has raised concerns among voting rights groups that it could lead to greater partisan influence.

You mean they would actually have to prove they’re eligible to vote?! 😳
Well... bye.
Go to hell MLBPA
MLB is dead to me.
I was beginning to get curious about maybe watching a few games that the soon to be named Cleveland Baseball Club plays. The BLM thing still burns me, but I was hoping that subsided.
This BS tells me they really truly don’t want me back.
Yes, they should drive away more fans with this “woke” nonsense.
They’re all in it together.
Every last one of them.
A headline you will NEVER read: “MLBPA to pull All-Star game out of Yankee Stadium because New York State has one of the most barbaric abortion policies in the country”
Them blacks...
Too stupid to get an ID.
Good thing there’s whitey to help.
There’s nothing more racist than a leftist.
Nice to know professional sports endorses full-blown voter fraud and if a state doesn’t go along with it, they’ll blackmail them to keep the fraud in place.
Well past time to boycott ALL these institutions that endorse fraud and criminality.
Lebron James is mentioned.He’s now part of the Red Sox ownership.
Game plans to have full capacity though
in many stadia, there are restrictions.
Boston may have about 12-14k. And
I believe Toronto will play home games
in Buffalo till further notice.
All Star Game is an economic benefit
for city/state where it’s held and
now MLB considers pulling it away
from Atl due to politics.
No one is going to watch that crap anyway.
In 10 years we will have Premiere League franchises in the US. MLB will be rated about the same as bowling.
Professional sports or at least the people controlling them have alienated, probably forever and needlessly, a good percentage of their fan base. Baseball really can’t afford to lose fans or TV viewership.
Who cares. It’s the woke MLB.
Yawn
We laughed when Han Solo told C3PO to “Let the Wookiee win.” Now that philosophy governs the decisions of every major American enterprise.
With all the covid rules and such, nobody would be there watching the game anyway.
Note to MLBPA - keep your silly game out of MY town too!
It doesn’t matter that LeBron owns part of the sox. If he showed up he would get booed.
Partially because he is a laker. Partially because he is a douche. And a little because Boston is racist.
