Major League Baseball announced Friday afternoon that the game would be moving out of the Atlanta Braves' Truist Park because of the state's new law that restricts voting rights. The MLB draft is also being moved out of Georgia.
Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement that "the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year's All-Star Game and MLB draft."
You can read Manfred's statement in its entirety below. No replacement location was immediately announced.

Which is more important to you? The people running the country or the bastards getting rich playing with their bats and balls? Think about it.
The boy looks like he may be related to Stacy Abrams.
” state’s new law that restricts voting rights” to citizens who exist and are registered voters residing in Georgia. Fixed.
Baseball? America’s past time? Where have you gone, Joe DeMaggio. Our national turns its lonely eyes from you. What’s that you say, Jackie Robinson? Joltin’ Joe was always underpaid? Heyheyhey.
Who is going to want to use tax payer money to build the MLB a new stadium?
Thank you! Just wrote out a 2 paragraph scorcher of an email and sent it on. Specifically asked for no reply because I’m done with them-just like I’m done the national felon league. And I ain’t ever coming back!
MLB is dead to me, so is Coca Cola

Benedict Biden is his name. Destroying America is his game!
We all know Manfred's 'values' now - they include jumping the gun, not researching voter requirements in New York, Colorado AND Georgia, his sickening need for acceptance by other stupid white liberal 'elites' who think it's Jim Crow 1950 forever.
I'll tell you what's racist - racists are people who think black citizens are too lame or too stupid to figure out how to get an ID...
please share this everywhere:
Jessie R. Binnall: Idea: There should be a YUGE Celebrate America MAGA rally in Atlanta on July 13 (the day of the All-Star game); I hear a venue just became available. The warm up act should be an old-timers baseball game with retired baseball greats. It would crush the MLB game in the ratings!
Just let Nancy Pelosi pick winning teams from now on.
Like yourself I was all excited about the upcoming season I was all set to purchase extra innings with my cable and follow baseball religiously then they moved the All Star Game and that changed everything for me.
