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!

Yep. The reason for his loss may never be known for certain. But, he ran 50K-60K votes BEHIND Trump. Trump had not only more votes than McRory, he also received more votes than the Democrat who beat McCrory. Sure seems like enough of the base simply didn’t vote for McCrory to cost him the election.

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).

Speaking of boycotts...What if some professional athletes refused to come to Georgia to play until the law is repealed?

What if the baseball players' union decides that players will not come to Braves' home stadium until the law is repealed?

MLB All Star game is only one game...Braves play at the home stadium for 81 games...

Some reporter should ask Tony Clark about that idea...Clark is the head of baseball players' union...

How serious is Mr. Clark about repealing the Georgia law? How far does he want to go?

A few days ago, I was thinking about paying $24.99 a month for MLB baseball streaming package...Directly from MLB...I changed my mind at the last minute...I instead decided to pay $15 a month more for sports package...I have Sling TV...
