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!

Can you think of a single conservative boycott that has altered the behavior of a Global 100 company? I sure can’t.
Boycotts generally don’t work for either side and sometimes they actually backfire, as happened when liberals called for the boycott of Chick-fila (although after old man Cathy died, Chick-fila immediately went woke, too).
The pressure were seeing today exerted by progressive groups on corporations transcends boycotts. It’s something else and whatever it is, it’s surprisingly and consistently effective. That is what Republicans have to figure out how to counter.
We hereby cancel this evil and profane godless culture that promotes lies, deceptions, violence and perversions as their holier-than-thou divisive agenda. We cancel ourselves out from participation in its toxic and poisonous activities that it has ruined. May many blind eyes be opened to truth but the leftards agenda deserves its trip to hell where it belongs.
Rather than pout and grandstand these corporations should work with states and the federal government to provide IDs to all US Citizens and state citizens who do not have them. Then they could vote and fly.
Not as long as we're pouring money into their pockets. Cut the cord.
Very well said.
Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!blockquote>
The Braves will likely be playing in Jackson or Sarasota, or even Nashville.
Sorry sir you can’t get on the plane.
But I’ve got my boarding pass. Here.
Sorry someone told me their name, same as what you just said, and I let them on.
We no longer require ID.
There is some fighting back, other than by boycotts. The Georgia House passed a bill revoking a jet fuel tax break for Delta Airlines. Too bad the Georgia Senate didn’t bother with it.
Also, some South Carolina GOP House (US) members are looking into revoking MLB’s antitrust exemption.
Perhaps some enterprising attorney can start a class action lawsuit against Woke-A Cola for caffeine-addicted diabetics.
A growing herd of complete idiots.
In other breaking news, the Taggart Bridge has collapsed.
If LaBra James didn’t have basketball skills, he would be one of three things....
Selling drugs in the hood
In prison
or dead.
As part owner I doubt he’ll care.
.
I was waiting until someone with the awesome intellectual power of LeBron James weighed-in on this subject before I made a decision. What does Sesame Street’s Grover have to say?
lebron is another woke moron
OMG OMG OMG...I can sleep well tonite knowing the almighty lebron has spoken! LOL! I'm betting whatever Grover says it will make more sense!
McCrory became history over HB2
That's not a bad thing. $10 for a good seat. $5 for a beer. $5 for a hot dog. Altogether $20 for a night at the ballgame. Right now, all of that would cost you $100.
I feel bad for the business owners as well...
Commissioner Manfred did not care about those owners at all...He only cared about getting along with the players' union...Head of the union suggested the action taken by Manfred...
