Former professional basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Major League Baseball moving the All-Star Game from Atlanta, GA following the passage of a new voter law “means something to everybody.”
Melber asked, “Kareem, what does it mean for Major League Baseball to take a stand like this right now?”
Abdul-Jabbar said, “I think it’s very significant, Ari, because it shows that this means something to everybody. This is something that we all want to see end. Voter suppression is not what democracy is about. We all want to see it end. By Major League Baseball making a statement like that, they show that they are concerned and that the people — that so many of their players are people of color, they’re probably worried about it also.”

I made millions off of my sky hook.
Therefore, my opinion matters
Kareem Abdul Jabar, Living Proof of Pure Racism
MLB announced that the 2021 All-Star Game is being moved out of Georgia as part of a marketing campaign to inform Americans that the All-Star Game still exists.
I honestly haven't even heard of this stupid game being played at all in the last 25+ years ... and I certainly didn't know it was scheduled to be played in Atlanta this year.
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.
I meant “ BOOBTUBE”. my eyes aren’t 13 anymore and I wish I. Could go back in time at least 50 years.
Right, that’s the funniest part of all of this.
All the black owned businesses that are going to suffer because of the wokeism in the world.
But liberals/progs dont actually care about people, just causes, and if some folks get hurt by thier “cause fetish”, that’s just too bad.
To imply that any laws that require voting citizens to show proof of their citizenship, or that add safeguards against voter fraud are anti-minority is racist in and of itself.
“But liberals/progs dont actually care about people, just causes, and if some folks get hurt by thier “cause fetish”, that’s just too bad.”
Very, very well said and accurate!!
I was going to give MLB another chance this year (I miss my St. Louis Cardinals), but not now. Does anyone else feel the walls closing in on them? This is not physical warfare but economic warfare, and it can be just as deadly. The left is getting close to being able to ruin the lives of anyone who disagrees with them. We will lose any opportunity of making a living and supporting our families.
The Georgia bill is NOT voter suppression.
It PREVENTS it.
The media, MLB and Karim are all perpetuating a LIE.
Not to mix metaphors, but what most folks don't realize is that it--the Woke narrative--is a tool that is being used to prepare the soil for communism.
This Woke narrative is having the same effect on our country that a controlled burn has on a forest.
It is getting rid of all features of our culture that might stand in the way of the coming implementation of the communist/collectivist agenda.
You and me both! I’m at the age where I have to prioritize which ailments I address first.

It means I won’t be watching. So true.
The braves play in GA.
Islam does that to a person. It’s the religion of revenge.
Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections. Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!
...although we boycotted the NFL, NBA and baseball when they got woke. Miss none of it.
I thought Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a little more on the ball that this. Baseball should not be made political. Making it so ruins it for me. I will not watch the Allstar game now nor will I pay any attention to the draft. I love to watch baseball. And I will not by Coca Cola this year, perhaps Pepsi instead.
Basically, he and the other racists are saying minorities are too stupid to get ID.
That’s from Babylon Bee, not me.
