Life Has Moved On, but fans in Atlanta Mourn the All-Star Game ... Dying New York Times ......(right click, open in incognito mode, if you must)


#6 - Make certain this really isn't an article about mourning. It may be on their mind but there is not visible sign of protest. Even quote those who mention the (conservative promoted) protest have no effect.

There were no leftover banners. There were no protests. Only a handful of people wore gear with the game’s logo. And the only booing heard on Friday night — when the Braves played their first home game

As for a planned boycott of M.L.B. — as some conservative politicians and fans had threatened — “it doesn’t look like it, does it?” said John Swindler, as he and his soon-to-be-wife, Teri, both 48, surveyed the crowd outside the Braves’ publicly funded stadium.

#5 - Ensure the article quotes mostly SJW's supporting your position.

quote:

“I’m very disappointed, but I commend Major League Baseball for stepping up and actually taking it away,” said Swindler, who made a 100-mile trek for the weekend to take in a Braves game.
“I know people didn’t want to see it go but you have to stand up,” continued Swindler, who wore an Austin Riley jersey while his fiancée wore a Ronald Acuña Jr. one. “I’m not trying to make it a black-and-white situation, but voting laws are very touchy.”

“It’s a hard call,” said Teri Swindler, who passed out snacks and water to voters in line during the last elections, an act now illegal in Georgia. “You’re not going to please everybody.” But once M.L.B. made its choice, she said, it spoke volumes.

Nicole Corona, 35, said she and her husband don’t hold a grudge against M.L.B. over the game but they did against Georgia for passing the law. Echoing the sentiments of Atlanta’s Democratic mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Coronas bemoaned the impact on local businesses and the position the region was put in.

#4 - If you need to show someone who doesn't support MLB, ensure they are not shown favorably...

quote:

---

“We don’t support the voter suppression bills, but honestly if it was any other game, I would’ve been like, ‘Yeah, move it!’” said Sean Corona, 41. But now, he muttered an expletive.

---

(my note... that expletive was probably just the word MAGA)

#3 - Disprove/downplay any economic impact of the loss...

quote:

---

DeSantis said he believed M.L.B.’s reaction was kneejerk, that their view of the Georgia law was wrong and that M.L.B. should stick to baseball. He also cited an already-widespread estimate from a local tourism official that the area will lose out on $100 million in revenue — an unsubstantiated figure disputed by some economists.

#2 - Ensure there's a picture of the aggrieved class shown...

#1 Reason - Denver, Colorado -- The location where the game has been moved, which is lily-white and has more restrictive voting laws. I've mentioned Denver in the past two sentences (more) than the several hundred word NYT article.

30 years ago, I respected you NYT. Now, I despise them and 'woke' writers like James Wagner.

What say you?
