Poll: 67% Agree MLB’s All-Star Game Move Was Driven By ‘Politics And Publicity’
Breitbart ^ | 04.09.2021 | Jacob Bliss

Posted on 04/09/2021 3:09:53 AM PDT by USA Conservative

A recent Daily Wire poll released Wednesday found an overwhelming majority agreed Major League Baseball’s (MLB) relocation from Atlanta was driven by “politics and publicity.”

The recent poll found 67 percent agreed Major League Baseball’s (MLB) relocation from Atlanta was driven by “politics and publicity.” In comparison, 33 percent said it was driven by a “genuine concern for voters in Georgia.”

Other key findings of the poll found 64 percent of Americans were “less likely to support companies and organizations that insert themselves into political issues and debates.” Also finding that 70 percent of all respondents to the survey agree with the statement: “Corporations and sports teams should generally stay out of politics.”

Among the voters who are familiar with the Georgia voting law, the survey found, 52 percent support the Georgia voter integrity bill. In addition, 71 percent of respondents said they were “more supportive” of the law after hearing what was in the bill.

The survey also included findings showing an overwhelming majority (78 percent) of the survey. SurveyMonkey took from a sample of majority Democrats, MLB fans, non-white Americans, and all age groups, supporting Georgia’s laws requiring voter IDs for absentee voting.

I truly don’t think MLB was thinking of the black community with their decision to move from Atlanta (at 50% black ) to Denver ( at 9% black) . Atlanta’s black business owners are missing out. As always the democrats are looking at it politically rather than what’s best for their own.

I backed waaay off last year when they went BLM on the field, now they are dead to me.

I don't watch, don't even follow in the paper. Nothing. Nil. Nada....

With the All-Star game being played in Atlanta, it would have been a celebration of the life of Hank Aaron, who passed away earlier this year.

Major League Baseball really shot themselves in the foot by moving the game over politics from the home-team stadium where Aaron played his entire career after he passed away just a few months ago.

What are they going to do now, memorialize Hank Aaron from Denver while his home team fans stew over the political sleight?

And now we find out that it was none other than Stacy Abrams who cheated Aaron out of his posthumous tribute in front of his home fans?

Lifelong baseball fan here.

Aaron didn’t play entirely in Atlanta. When he started the Braves were in Milwaukee

From several sources I’ve read it was more specifically the extortion of a threat by S. Abrams, Sharpton and L. James that they would cause the non-white players in baseball to boycott the all-star game. The spectacle of that would be huge.

Did I mention the word “extortion”?

This latest MLB kerfuffle may be the last straw for the Woke. The truth is coming out exactly how MLB, Coke, and Delta Air were pressured and intimidated into reacting to Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021.

It is quite possible that Stacey's big mouth and ego will expose the behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

Yet most of that 67% will still watch the game and keep giving their money to mlb.

What is the definition of insanity?

I have given up watching all pro sports, except for the closing few laps of NASCAR ( the 3-stage races were designed for people like me...).

I used to like college men’s basketball, but the one-and-done distortion by coaches like Coach K at Duke turned me off.

That, and not buying products or services from virtue-signaling companies has freed up a lot of good time and money.

These poll numbers are not true. If they’re admitting to 67%, the number is much higher.

“I don’t watch, don’t even follow in the paper. Nothing. Nil. Nada...”

Same here. Was a big Yankee fan back in the day. Ever since the World Series was not played in the mid 90’s, due to a baseball strike, lost all interest. Guys making big bucks to play a kids game.

She probably threatened BLM riots at the game.

There's a guy in the office who constantly asks "did you watch the game last night?" My answer is always "nope". He may as well have asked if I watched a cricket match. MLBLM is dead to me.

And 33% are incurably stupid libtards who think extortion is normal.

Roughly the same portion who chose to follow Satan as described in the book of Revelation.

That fat, loud mouth witch cost Atlanta $100 million dollars.
And will affect many Black owned businesses.
52% of Atlanta residents are black.
MLB moved the game to one of the Whitest Cities in the USA...Denver.
