MLB pulls ASG from Atlanta

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31183822/mlb-moving-all-star-game-atlanta-georgia-voting-law

Major League Baseball announced Friday that it is moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to a new Georgia law that has civil rights groups concerned about its potential to restrict voting access for people of color.

"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," Manfred said in his statement. "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.

"Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States. We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process. Fair access to voting continues to have our game's unwavering support."

MLB got it right.

"Over the last week we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with clubs, former and current players, The Players Association, and The Player's Alliance (??).... to listen to their views.  I HAVE DECIDED......"


Listened to both sides, did ya?

[bankshot1]

At some point kid you may see the benefit of being on the right side of an issue and move from the 18th century to the 21st.

But as you drag your feet others will leave you in the dust and move forward.

[kidcarter8]

My guess is we do NOT hear from Freddie Freeman today.

Nice to see you catching up.

Listened to both sides, did ya?

Both sides of what? You are for free elections and ensuring the right to vote to all Americans or you're not. If you're not, then why would someone want to listen to that?

[kidcarter8]

Braves would be one example of the other side

Did Manfred speak to them before deciding?

I love Curtis Granderson, but they are being dicks on this issue.

You've failed to back that view.

Braves fail to live up to their name with this statement on MLB's decision to relocate the ASG:

Our city has always been known as a uniter in divided times [/u]and we will miss the opportunity to address issues that are important to our community. Unfortunately, businesses, employees, and fans in Georgia are the victims of this decision."]“This was neither our decision, nor our recommendation and we are saddened that fans will not be able to see this event in our city," the statement said. "The Braves organization will continue to stress the importance of equal voting opportunities and we had hoped our city could use this event as a platform to enhance the discussion. Our city has always been known as a uniter in divided times and we will miss the opportunity to address issues that are important to our community. Unfortunately, businesses, employees, and fans in Georgia are the victims of this decision."

Sure...Atlanta---uniter, not divider. Always. Sound familiar? Oy!

[kidcarter8]

The ballpark isn't in Atlanta, right?

Happy not to hear from the Mayor.  But maybe White Freddie will be asked how he feels.
