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.

Red Sox owner John Henry owns the
paper with LeFraud Shames just getting
a bigger part of team ownership.
Aren’t most baseball players white, Asian or Latino nowadays? /rhetorical question
I think they’re under the delusion that their sport has any value still.
I’m glad I lived to see the final greatness of the Yankees before this nonsense.

Had no problem giving up MLB cold turkey after they went political last season. Looks like I won’t be going back anytime soon.
Maybe if game gets pulled out of Atl,
John Henry can get MLB to relocate
it to deep blue Boston. Red Sox
selling huge amount of shares to LeFraud
is them saying look we aren’t racist...
Not one thin dime
since i hope all woketard sports fail
i don’t care if they do or don’t
because i hope they fail, regardless
I’m with you. In fact I’m done completely with team sports. Just boxing and mma for me.
I signed up for MLB.com as soon it came on the market some fifteen or more years ago.
I dropped it last year when players began taking the knee and supported BLM.
Business wise, it isn’t a good idea to p!ss on your fans.
Major Leftist Baseball moving game out of Georgia?
Man, that bill keeps giving positive dividends to the state!
If America wants to entertain the possibility of retaking the country back, professional sports must be dealt with.
It has to be systematic, on all platforms, and continual. It must be like a religion.
The only baseball game I will watch is Little League. I’m sure there’s some proud papa out there who would like other people to watch his son play ball.
Interesting in my state that you need to show ID to buy legal weed in a dispensary but it is racist to ask for an ID to vote.
Since it's Atlanta, some of that wealth being spread by spectators would positively affect the incomes of BLACK PEOPLE!!!
Way to go, you heartless, woke monsters.
PING!
That’s not a contradiction of a previous statement, BTW. Most of Georgia will benefit from not having stinky Major Leftist Baseball polluting their state.
Atlanta, however, will be left hurting. Maybe including Madame Chuck-A-Rama (Abrams).
Baseball....YAWN!
Dear MLB,
I have already CANCELED the NFL and the NBA. Baseball is by far my favorite sport, but you can be assured that Major League Baseball will be CANCELED by my entire family if the league, its players union, its television networks or its sponsors play woke politics with the All-Star game. Do you seriously think a bunch of woke racist tranny libtards have any respect for the great game of baseball? Good luck filling stadiums and attracting television viewers when the China and the Biden administration decide the pandemic is over.
Sincerely,
Atticus
p.s. Please draft my son.
This is exactly the kind of thing that stopped me from watching basketball. My loyalty to baseball is now hanging by the thinnest of threads. If they go through with this, that’s the end. Baseball is dead too me too. The Left ruins everything it touches.
