    Default MLB threatens to move all-star game out of Atlanta over voter reform law

    Democrats say requiring photo ID to vote by mail is RACIST!! HAHAHA

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ml...cid=uxbndlbing

    march 26 2021 MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark said players are ready to discuss moving the summer's All-Star game out of Atlanta after the state legislature passed an election reform bill restricting voter access, the Boston Globe reported.

    The 91st MLB All-Star game is scheduled for the Atlanta Braves' Truist Park on July 13 and they're planning to have full capacity.

    “Players are very much aware” of the Georgia voting bill, which places restrictions on voting accessibility that will make it particularly difficult for Black voters to reach the polls, said Tony Clark in an interview with the Globe. “As it relates to the All-Star Game, we have not had a conversation with the league on that issue – if there is an opportunity to, we would look forward to having that conversation.”

    There's precedent for moving an all-star game based on enacted legislation. The NBA moved its 2017 game out of Charlotte, North Carolina, following laws that limited anti-discrimination protections for the LGBTQ community.

    Georgia has been at the center of the voting rights battle for decades and grassroots organizers have worked tirelessly to make it easier for residents to utilize their constitutional right to vote.

    Note the use of the word "residents".

    Biased article mentions the constitutional right to vote but there is no such thing.

    "Residents" have no right to vote in any case.

    Residents who are also citizens have the right to vote. But i know what you mean.

    I think MLB is about to find out how few people care about them anymore.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    Have to admit baseball is a boring game. It would be easy to speed it up but the owners won't do it.

    Not racist, but a true burden on poor people and old people. Blacks are poorer as a group. Many lack money to get the ID and lack transporation.

    They could liven it up a lot if they injected some violence into it like hockey, football, or even NASCAR (crashes)...

    Easy question, if Georgia just completed an election inwhich State Election Officials and the Governor of Georgia stated was a fair and perhaps best election they ever had in Georgia, why are reforms needed now?

    Well if MLB decides to play politics I guess I'll be doing more fishing this year. You would think they would have learned their lesson from the NBA and the NFL. Stay out of politics .

    Poor people are on welfare and should not be allowed to vote anyway.
