Like my Dad used to say, “Why would I pay money to watch grown men playing childrens’ games?”

"Want to bet the players will take a knee before the start of the game, for ‘racial justice’?"

Why? Almost none of them actually vote. Just like the original cast of "Hamilton" in 2016 - think the final talley was 2, but they were bit players.

Where is John Rocker when you need him most?

Donald Trump was endorsed by former Braves baseball player John Rocker. I'd love to hear his opinion of this sh*t.

Why give in to people who don’t follow the sport? It’s like McDonald’s giving in to the Vegans. Did them no good at all.

This stupid little exhibition game is nothing.

It’s laughable grandstanding and virtue signaling.

If I wanted advice from someone, who chases a ball, I’d ask my Dog…

She has been dead for decades.

Funny how no one on the Left says anything about voting laws in NY which offer fewer days to vote as apposed to Georgia.
This country has truly lost its mind.....

MLB is in a death spiral, so this action will only help accelerate it.

Brands go woke because they’re going broke!

“Get woke, go broke”, is a conservative meme about the cost of political correctness that has it the wrong way around.
Brands don’t go broke because they get woke, they go woke because they’re going broke, and don’t know how to stop the slow but steady collapse of their business.

Moving the game out of Atlanta hurts the stadium owner, parking lots and vendors. Most of these people are probably democrats. If I were a baseball fan, this would tarnish my interest in the game.

That’s it. The Oakland A’s will have an extra suite to sell this year.

"Why give in to people who don’t follow the sport?"

Because every . single . person in Executive Communications adheres to this horseshit stronger than the MSM.

Coke, MLB, whoever -- when they call a crisis meeting on Thursday night to 'deal with' the new Critical Race Theory, post-Amerika issue, the Sr VP for Comm says "Surrender. Now."

Period.

The reson this is happening is to prevent this;
REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ? They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts
If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed.

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for Biden ?

If I remember correctly, Delta Air Lines put a woman on the “No Fly” list because she yelled at Mitt Romney at the Salt Lake City airport about the election steal. Or, did she yell at Lindsay Graham and get placed on the “No Fly” list at an eastern airport?

Either way, it was a $hitty thing for the airline to do.

No more bailouts for the airlines. Sink or swim on your own.

And Major League Baseball....you suck, bite and wipe.
I stopped watching your boring game quite some time ago and this “woke” BS only re-enforces my decision.

The big deal here is the success of the cancel culture lobby. Until we can get an effective countermeasure we are destined to more and more of this corporate pressure and cave ins.

Said another way, they are winning and we are losing big time.

Joke in the 80s.

What do the Braves and Michael Jackson have in common?

Both wear one glove for no apparent reason!

because of the state's new law that restricts voting rights.

This is the most blatant BS statement ever. No voters rights were restricted. They were reaffirmed.

If you are eligible to vote you are allowed to vote. The only true restriction on voter's rights occurs when the unqualified and ineligible dilute and distort an election.
