MLBPA Open to Pulling All-Star Game from GA Due to Election Reform Bill Who said there is no such thing as bad publicity? Tony Clark, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) executive director, says that he wants the league to discuss pulling the All-Star Game from Georgia now that the state’s election integrity bill has become law. The 91st MLB All-Star is scheduled for July 13 at SunTrust Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Though, with the new election law enacted, Clark thinks it is time to discuss possibly punishing the Peach State. “Players are very much aware” of the Georgia voting bill, Clark told the Boston 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.” The new law was praised by Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson, who said, “Reforms to make voter ID requirements and early voting access more consistent statewide, modernize the state’s voting rolls, and ensure robust oversight of voting and elections will protect Georgia’s votes and make the state a model for the rest of the country.” However, liberals have attacked the state’s new law aimed at tightening the overly loose rules governing state elections that sent the state into chaos during the 2020 elections. The left is riling supporters by mischaracterizing the law as “voter suppression” and even calling it “white supremacy.” If Major League Baseball removes the All-Star Game from Georgia, it would not be the first time that a professional sports league punished a state for its politics. In 2017 the NBA pulled its All-Star Game from the state of North Carolina when that state passed a law preventing biological men from using female restrooms. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver demanded that the state reverse the law — which it did not do — and then moved the game to New Orleans when the state refused to comply. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | ||

Baseball players object to election integrity? That must mean they have none themselves. Georgia should consider itself fortunate. I hope that’s a promise and not an empty threat. | |||

I'd take this bit of virtue posturing seriously if Major League Baseball could give us some real good answers about how they're going to keep a Houston Astros cheating debacle from happening again and stop blackballing deserving Hall of Fame candidates. | |||

| It's pronounced just the way it's spelled |
The GA AG should bring a suit against the MLBPA for extortion. If the AG wins, the state should collect damages and tell MLB to take their lousy All Star game somewhere woke. | |||

The NCAA, the MLB, the NFL...all nothing but damned bullies. Screw them. Tell them to pound sand. That's exactly what Kristi Noem should've said to to the NCAA. But she was weak. Capitulating to bullies, particularly leftist, woke bullies, will only lead you to ruin. The DeSantis method (originally the Trump method) is the only workable option.

| drop and give me 20 pushups |
They can threaten all they want but please do not threaten... You don't like the playground then take your ball and go somewhere else .... As far as I am concerned ALL of those professional teams as well as some of the college teams are spoiled children that need a good dose of reality about the real world . .............................................. drill sgt. | |||

I like it. Plus it involves Interstate Commerce. Doesn't MLB have Federal favoritism for a monopoly of something? Fuck these people and the next time they want a major league sports stadium then should built it themselves. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

Here's a hint Tony, why don't you and the morons you represent focus on playing baseball, ya know, what you clowns get paid for, and let the adults take care of the complicated stuff. These people are simply beyond stupid. After seeing what's happened to the ratings, revenues, and fan support for both the NBA and the NFL, this moron wants to leap from the same bridge? If I were a MLB player I'd get in front of a camera and make everyone aware of the fact that that retard does 'not' represent me or my opinions. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

So... Coca Cola Wants Everybody to ''Try to be Less White'?? And the MLBPA is Open to Pulling All-Star Game from GA Due to Election Reform Bill because... “voter suppression” and even calling it “white supremacy.”?? Wow! And these people don't know that treating people differently, based on race, is the very definition of racism? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

The ball sport masters in this country still haven't figured out that between the plandemic and their wokeness, thousands and thousands of fans have deserted them. I didn't give two s#!t$ about the Red Sox last summer for the first time since 1967. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||
