On Friday, Major League Baseball decided to take its All-Star Game away from Atlanta’s Truist Park in response to the state’s new voter integrity law.

Liberal supporters exploded with delight after the MLB announcement.

Many in the world of sports jumped on the bandwagon to congratulate the league:

LeBron James

Proud to call myself a part of the mlb family today. BlackLivesMatter

Other leftists also went wild in support of the league’s move:

Gavin Newsom

Hey MLB — feel free to give us a call.

In California we actually work to expand voter access -- not prevent it.

Ron Perlman

Yo Kemp, they drop-kicked the All-Star game out of your state. In other words, America’s “past time” to have lowlife racist motherfuckers like you. Matthew Dowd

Major League Baseball, now that they have pulled the All-Star game from Atlanta, should put it at Washington Nationals Park to highlight the need for federal action on voting rights including DC Statehood.

Billie Jean King

MLB will move the AllStarGame & MLBDraft out of Atlanta in response to new GA voting laws.

Thank you, MLB, for standing on the right side of history.

George Takei

Now that's the right call! MLB announces it is pulling this year's All-Star game and the amateur draft from Georgia.

Earvin Magic Johnson

I want to applaud and extend a thank you to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for moving the All Star Game out of Georgia following the Governor’s signing of the new restrictive voting law. Way to be a leader and take a strong stance!

White Conservatives: Sports are not meant for you.

Boycott their asses.

[Candor7]

Will the ALL Star Game be transferred to a Covid Ridden locked down state or to Florida, where Desantis is singing the Red State song?

[JonPreston]

[allendale]

MLB was already hurting. Now its dying.

[canuck_conservative]

LeBron Jimmy, so quick to condemn Georgia

meanwhile he says NOTHING negative about his favorite oppressive country, Communist China, as usual

LeBron is an idiot

Here’s one thing. ....

Anyone in Georgia that describes themselves as a Republican doesn’t or shouldn’t care. They should think that the new voting bill doesn’t go far enough, especially since it does nothing about ‘mail in voting’. So if the MLB goes......See Ya! Buh Bye! Don’t let the door hit ya in the a$$ on the way out!! Adios!

And, liberals don’t watch sports or attend games. So there’s that.

Personally, I’d love to see the fans now boycott the Braves and watch them go under.

[Vermont Lt]

James is hated in Boston. I cannot imagine him getting a warm welcome at Fenway.

[Bernard]

Hopefully they can move the game to Havana, or maybe North Korea. If they put the game in California or NYS, the allowed attendance would be around the same anyway.

My heart goes out to the hundreds of small business owners, many of them restaurant & bar owners in Cobb County, who were very likely in DESPERATE need of the business generated by this game particularly after coming off the worst year for the restaurant industry since the Great Depression.

It may not feel like it now, but this will - to some degree - have a chilling effect on other states. Corporations are waging economic war over cultural issues and they’re winning some big battles. Look at Kristi Noem. She blinked because big business threatened her, Pence in Indiana and North Carolina did the same when they were targeted like this over LGBT laws. It’s a problem Republicans are going to have to figure out how to counter, quickly.

[SoFloFreeper]

Atlanta is mostly black in population. MLB hates black people.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Can’t we have even one activity not polluted by leftoid politics, racism and political correctness?

Basketball, football, NASCAR, Pop music, Country music, movies, television, newspapers, cable news, social media, schools, colleges, employment and more all polluted and perverted by arrogant leftists.

[Travis McGee]

[BiglyCommentary]

There is nothing to figure out. Those companies get boycotted. We’ll see who blinks first.

[tflabo]

So what. Atlanta sucks anyway and that the city lose the revenue is payback for its thugs helping to steal the election. BTW where’s Ruby Freeman, the virtuous heroine of free and fair election ballot counting?

[Vision]

Those pushing vote fraud are quite pleased with themselves. Are a perfect symbol of the decay of American society.

[abbastanza]

Good, I’m glad they are dying. Didn’t watch them anyway.

[bk1000]

With this, all major league sports are dead to me. Others have been for some time now, but I was holding out for baseball. No more. Black activists have ruined every aspect of pro sports and a great deal of society itself. Decent blacks need to stand up to this nonsense. It is really reflecting on your perception by 85% of the population. People will take a lot, but they will only take so much.

[eyeamok]

LeBron James, Ron Perlman, you talk about the kiss of death, this is going to be pretty fun, I love a good Suicide

[pepsionice]

The business model at this point is totally ruined. If a third of the fan base turns off the viewership, and stadiums start averaging only 10 to 15 thousand on a Friday night.....a new more lean business situation has to be created.
