“MLB robbed the small businesses of Atlanta – many of them minority-owned – of $100 million, we want the game back where it belongs,” said Alfredo Ortiz, president, and CEO of the Job Creators Network. “This was a knee-jerk, hypocritical and illegal reaction to misinformation about Georgia’s new voting law, which includes Voter-ID. Major League Baseball itself requests ID at will-call ticket windows at Yankee Stadium in New York, Busch Stadium in St. Louis and at ballparks all across the country.”
“Small businesses in this community had valid contracts relating to the All-Star Game and other events, the result of two years of planning and all that was ripped away by fear and misinformation spewed by political activists. Many states, including Colorado where the game has been moved to, have similar or more restrictive election laws,” Ortiz said. “This move essentially tells fans of teams in many other cities that they can never again host the All-Star Game; it’s hypocritical, illegal, and we won’t stand for it.”
Perhaps the negro league will play their All-star game in Atlanta this Summer?
Wait…what?
They’re losing more than that just in viewership boycotts. Fuck ’em. Anerica’s pastime is in the past for a few years.
I know I am rooting for the Atlanta businesses to win massively.
When the MLB formally declared themselves my political enemy I will work against them at every opportunity.
Baseball just trying to help.
Because who would you want to get your political analysis from but a dumb jock?
GregMan, we have Ron Gant as one of the local newscasters. I only watch it for the weather as the rest is garbage.
Stupidity has “CONSEQUENCES”! Live with. Learn from it. Act accordingly.
“MLB” spelled backwards is “BLM”. So, they’re idiots coming and going.
Here’s to Atlanta business association prevailing!
“Baseball been very good to me”
