Former President Barack Obama on Saturday celebrated Major League Baseball for its decision to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta after the Georgia legislature passed legislation on election integrity.
Obama tweeted, “Congratulations to the MLB for taking a stand on behalf of voting rights for all citizens. There’s no better way for American’s pastime to honor the great Hank Aaron, who always led by example.”
AD Hank Aaron, nicknamed “Hammerin’ Hank,” was a home-run-hitting baseball great who played 23 seasons in the Majors; 21 of them for the Atlanta Braves. He was also known for his outspokenness against racism in the MLB, and he broke racial barriers throughout his career.
The decision to relocate the game came after the Georgia legislature passed legislation aimed at strengthening election integrity.
MLB issued a press release announcing the move Friday. They have yet to identify where they intend to move. In their press release, they said, “Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box.”
“Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft.”

Sure he cheered.
What else would one expect a race-baiter to do?
Dimocrats are really really angry with the state of Georgia.
Dims feel betrayed, and are getting them back....or so they think.
The Obamarrhoids are still a pain in the a$$ for this Repubic.
If he can force Georgia to rewrite the law to permit cheating—We are done. Enough pressure, and a big enough lie is all that is needed. Next will be the impeachment of the Georgia Governor and the appointment of the “Real Winner” Stacy Abrams. Goal: Make Every state like California.
Once again, democrats celebrate job losses!!
All the hawkers, the vendors, “the peanuts and crackerjack”!!
This is his third term.
Yes, it is sad but they win, they always win. We won with our Donald Trump but it wasn’t meant to be. The deep state saw to it that he would not have a second term. No more pro-American President again.
“Major League Baseball fundamentally supports fraudulent voting and rigged elections, and opposes restrictions to the ballot stuffing and election stealing.”
Obama has killed more people in war, purposeful chaos and revolution and has created more refugees than I think any President in the last 75 years.
Good
Plus Georgians had the temerity to reject St. Stacey for Governor.
MLB = BLM spelled backwards
THIS
My prediction is it’ll get moved to Kansas City. Last year was the 100th anniversary of the Negro League. The Negro League Baseball museum is here (a great place to visit by the way). It’ll give MLB a chance to pander big time.
Things may be different outside of the ring around the congo.
Yep
Always thought the rolled up sleeves symbolizing hard working bammy was so fake.
