When the game was in Phoenix I took my son to the Homerun derby and the game. They put on a huge MLB experience as well that attracts everyone. It’s way more than just the game. ATL is losing out on a ton of revenue.

For the record I am done with all pro sports. They can be as woke as they wish but I will not watch it.

It costs 51% black Atlanta $100M in favor of moving the event to 76% white Denver.

These people use minorities as a pawn so damn effectively, and a lot of these pawns are dumb enough to continue to believe their lies.

When I was a kid before inter league play it was awesome.

We would sit in the floor with our baseball cards and trade and shite. You saw matchups that didn’t happen all the time.

Back then the home run derby was must see. It was truly the Midsummer classic.


frick man why does everything suck so bad now.

We won't be fully healed until they agree to hold it in Somalia.

What I love is how Georgia was the new precious child of the Democrats... for about 2 months. They got what they wanted from Georgia voters, threw them under the bus, and now they are right back to being backwards arse racist Georgia.

Cobb is quickly transitioning to a minority county.

The school system is 35% white and dropping quickly.

What? No it isn't.

It's unincorporated Cobb County.Dont care what the zip code says.I grew up in Sandy Springs and we always had an Atlanta zip but it was always part of unincorporated north Fulton until it became incorporated.

You can't be part of any unincorporated area if those boundaries don't extend to your territory.

ETA The area (Cumberland) is governed by Cobb County and it's residents vote in Cobb Co elections and go to Cobb Co/Smyrna schools.

It may be an honest question, but its beside the point. There was millions of dollars spent by the city, state, teams, spectators and vendors. Who is going to answer for that or will they just ignore it like they do for everything that shines a light of truth on what THEY do.

They're talking about potential near-50% capacity at the moment

MLB All-Star Game 2021: Coors Field
quote:

Colorado Health officials approved a capacity of 42.6% at Coors Field to start the season — 21,363 fans in a stadium that holds 50,398.

Besides the fact that MLB acted on an outrageous politically driven lie, the point is that the late Hank Aaron was going to be honored here in Atlanta.

Also, it would have been another celebration, that being the 150th anniversary of continuous play by a particular major-league team.

That team? The Braves.

No other baseball organization has participated continuously longer than the Braves. Yet none of that mattered to the major-league offices. They just literally dumped all over their own history.

Correct. 2 extra days. But every active voter is mailed a ballot. More than 90% of ballots cast in 2020 were mailed in.

A few other Colorado voting tidbits...while they do require an ID for in person voting, they don't require a photo ID. Acceptable forms of ID are recent utility bill, bank statement, government check, or paycheck, or a copy of a birth certificate.
Water and or snacks can be handed out at voting locations but the volunteers handing out those items cannot wear campaign clothing.
Colorado drop boxes are accessible 24 hours a day, unlike Georgia.
