Wiz- Been waiting for the right time to use that one?

Correct. Much like the D's...never let a crisis go to waste...

[THE_WIZARD_]

Horribly vulgar

You were expecting....what from Wiz?

MLB just announced they’re moving the All-Star game and the draft out of Atlanta due to the new voting legislation.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Fucking ridiculous

Professional sports leagues are now fully involved in partisan politics - all on one side. May their businesses suffer as a result.

EFZ...and they are suffering and I'm laughing my ass off...they are more interested in being Woke than making money...dumbfucks...

Not only is Wokeness in Sports stupid...it's stupid business...

Michael Jordan had it right...Republicans buy shoes too...

MLB just announced they’re moving the All-Star game and the draft out of Atlanta due to the new voting legislation.

And this is their reward for electing all those Democrats.

Welcome to being "cancelled", Atlanta. Pull up a chair and stay a while.

MLB probably has more to lose than the NBA did when it boycotted North Carolina over the "bathroom bill" five years ago. I presume more conservatives watch baseball than the NBA to begin with.

Incidentally, one year after the NBA did its virtue signaling, the good people of North Carolina threw their bum Republican Governor out of office.

[Mike]

Yeah, MLB might actually feel some pushback as their fan base is older and more traditional than the others.

Well, you know, the voting bill is JIM CROW ON STEROIDS!

But, yeah, fuck MLB. I won't be watching the ASG.

THe Georgia bill codifies drop boxes for ballots as a permanent feature of the state’s voting system (prior to 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic they had never been used there before), expands early voting, and institutes a voter ID requirement that is broadly supported by Americans of all races. But, you know, JIM CROW ON STEROIDS!

Meanwhile, apprehensions at the border reached a 15-year high and the month's unaccompanied minor numbers are about 70% higher than the previous RECORD high month.

Good thing the Ds have some loony congressman to focus on.

I can't remember the last time I watched a MLB All Star game. Maybe sometime back in the 90's?

I don't watch much MLB anyway, considering how awful the Tigers are. I lost interest when they let Scherzer and Verlander get away. Moves that were reminiscent of Detroit Lions moves.

I wish we had a resident Georgia/Atlanta expert to weigh in.

Yeah.. wouldn't that be nice?

I mean, someone who has lived there... for an extended period of time. Someone who knows the political climate by personal experience.

That would be neat!
