So MLB is fine with ball games in Cuba and training in China, but Georgia is the human rights problem

You could tell that the Major League Baseball (MLB) decision to pull its All-Star game out of Atlanta was a deeply unpopular one, based on the ambivalent reaction of far-left failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.  Here's the money quote from her Twitter statement:

After all, isn't she the one who pushed through most of the fraud-enabling laws on the books in Georgia which triggered the recent legislative action?  The blacks-are-too-dumb-to-have-voter-ID idiotic notion, so by extension, nobody should have to show voter ID to vote, even though everyone needs to show ID to buy a beer at an MLB game, or buy a ticket to one?  She needs to make up her mind.

So which is it?  Not wanting to see families hurt, or being all in for the boycott of Atlanta, which certainly should affect the city tax base?  She wants to have it both ways, boycott but nobody hurt.  That's because unlike MLB, she wants to win public office, and knows that screwing over black businesses, which will get it in the teeth with this MLB maneuver, is going to make her unpopular.

Here's the MLB statement:

JUST IN: @MLB announces it’ll move the All-Star Game and Draft out of Atlanta due to the state passing a new elections law last week. pic.twitter.com/rBVUQ6FMJG— Ed O'Keefe (@edokeefe) April 2, 2021

Abrams's response is just the tip of the iceberg of the hypocrisy and contradictions seen from this MLB maneuver — stiffing black-owned American small businesses just emerging from a pandemic to protest a U.S. law they are perfectly free to campaign for to change otherwise through elections, or else playing the ball game without politics and drawing a big audience.  Which is it for them?

So MLB is fine with ball games in Cuba and training in China, but Georgia is the human rights problem

because Georgia requires a photo ID to vote!

Go watch home town high school and little league baseball. All the fun at a fraction of the expense.

[IgnorerOfLiberals]

Done with Major League baseball forever. You know, as thought the kneeling was bad, but never did I think a League would protest Democracy in itself. Unbelievable!!+

[facedown]

MLB, just like the NBA, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the ChiComs.

[RC one]

MLB-American as dog meat stew.

[Atticus]

I urge everyone to not just stop watching and supporting Major League Baseball. Contact them and copy the Players Association, the Hall of Fame, your favorite team, etc.

To be woke is to be delusional and hypocritical. Never trust a virtue signaling fool. They are all phonies.

There is also this where there should be and could be a needed change in the senate
CHINESE COMMIES DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN THAT’S WHY THOSE BUSINESSES AND SPORT INDUSTRIES WITH CHINA CONNECTIONS ARE AFRAID THIS COULD HAPPEN WITH THE GEORGIA ELECTION REFORM

REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ? They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts
If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed.

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for Biden ?

The virtue signaling is a useful identifier. You can pick out the future Stasi rats.

God bless you and all of us for boycotting. But my fear is that the Soros money advertisers and the sissies who are the BLM loving CEOs of major corporations will glide past all of this and survive just fine. Like after the Hallmark TV gay themed travesties.

But they will step hard on the necks (sorry, snowflake liberals for the Saint Floyd reference) of MyPillow and talk radio hosts. Those enterprises will fail, I fear.

Let’s all go down to a Uigher concentration camp and give them a baseball!

[EEGator]

They’re just doing Math.(which is racist)
Lose half of your USA base to pick up a percentage of the Chinese base.

I watch zero sports.(I used to watch them all religiously)
I train for Volleyball and Masters Track and Field.
I’m far healthier, and read far more books now.
It’s hard to believe how a grown man(myself included) can get all worked up over a game you aren’t involved in.
Quit watching all sports.

[SMARTY]

The quote is typical of Liberals responses on ALL issues that make the look bad.

They routinely craft an ‘answer’ that blurs the line between one view and its opposite, between ‘yes’ and ‘no’....It's a perfect muddle of pointless verbiage that, no matter how many times you read ad re-read it ..... in the end, it says absolutely nothing!

Will MLB move the Toronto Blue Jays? Canada definitely has voter ID laws.

Unfortunately, cash is fungible and our money looks no different to the corporate oligarchs than the money spent by welfare cheats and illegals. My bank probably makes more money off of an illegal who wires money home to Central America every couple of weeks than off of my deposits.

RE: Immigrant money going out of the US: $148 billion a year as of 2017....
I see them at gas stations and grocery stores. One station has a dedicated phone for sending, with small lines of Spanish speaking customers waiting to use it.

Forbes Magazine (outdated now) by Niall McCarthy, April 8, 2019
“In the United States alone, it is estimated that more than $148 billion was sent to individuals in other countries in 2017. Back in 2004, a study found that over 60% of the 16.5 million Latin American-born adults living in the country at that time sent money home on a regular basis. Pew’s analysis of the latest World Bank figures found that Mexico was the top destination country for U.S. remittance payments by far with over $30 billion sent home. China was a very distant second with $16.14 billion while India had the third-highest volume at $11.7 billion. “

[Atticus]

Exactly. Corporate America benefits tremendously from illegal immigration. The illegals need to buy food, diapers and Similac. And, miraculously, they all can afford IPhones. My father was a member of the New York Stock exchange and was once a guest on Wall Street Week and we did not have a touch-tone phone until the mid-to-late 1980s.

MLB = BLM. It’s all the same commie BS.

The changes in GA voter law could only have happened with consent of the governor, SOS and/or the legislature.
