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.
There is nothing to figure out. Those companies get boycotted. We’ll see who blinks first.
McCrory became history over HB2
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...
