I'm sure the MLB will be pulling games from state requiring proof of vaccination any minute.

Now let's really give this some teeth and sue the MLB for anit-trust violations, time for clownary to experience consequences.

Good, I hope this “voter suppression law” causes the liberal entertainment industries to leave Georgia and lefties stay out of Georgia. Then maybe the state won’t be Democrat anymore.

I agree with MLB. It’s ridiculous that the ONLY thing that you have to have an ID for is voting. It’s also terrible how black people are consistently denied access to ID’s.

/sarcasm geez

Are these laws not already in place in most states? Every time I’ve ever voted (in LA) I show my ID and sign my name next to my printed name in that binder they have.

Do other states just let you roll up and walk straight in the booth or something?

The all-star game has been become a joke anyways. They used to care about it and winning it for the league you were in. Inter-league play has hurt the all-star game and the World Series. It has become a meaningless exhibition game with no pride on the line.

Why do liberals always think Black folks are retarded? What is stopping them from getting to the polls? Nothing

I always thought it was fairly easy to vote for the All-Star game. I guess different rules in Georgia. Surprising since Braves usually represented well in the game.

So voter authenticity is now voter suppression?


Unreal.

I don't know a single person over the age of 18 that doesn't have an id.

Yet people have seriously been comparing this new law to Jim Crow. I'm so confused on why this is such a big deal

Is this even a punishment to Atlanta when fans aren’t allowed and they won’t get ticket revenue or hotel sales?

I’m cool with them moving it from here. I would rather that than trying to be strong armed by the MLB.

So the stance of MLB is that black people are too stupid/incompetent to acquire an ID card, something that is legally required of every person in the US? Interesting take

how difficult could it be to get an ID? it’s pure laziness why anyone wouldn’t...but normal people can’t say that because it could offend someone or be labeled a racist
