Super Bowl became a PSA about getting a vaccine.

NCAAT has become a PSA about women’s rights.

MLB ASG now becoming a PSA about voting suppression.

Every one of these has a political push, all coming from the same side.


And every news story is filled with lies

1. 85% of MLB owner’s political donations go to the GOP. MLB doesn’t give two shits about Georgia voting laws. It’s about the bottom line. And MLB cared more about their TV partner’s bottom line than the economic loss Cobb County will experience.

MLB ASG ad revenue is about $50 million. That’s almost 10% of FOX’s annual TV contract with MLB. The ONLY people who wouldn’t show up to the game would be ad sponsors who’d prefer to be spared the wrath of the twitter mob. You expect me to believe that the Braves, Cobb County, and a majority of the owners want the game to stay but Manfred said nah, frick that, I need to make a stand.

2. I did this research after Abrams lost in 2018. The only voter suppression happening in Georgia is the 1+ million black babies aborted in Georgia who would have been first time eligible to vote for Abrams and likely carry her to a victory. Millions of pro-abortion dollars that help stop the vote and the heart of black babies by a 3-1 margin all donated by a group that looks like this:



But Stacey’s mad her ballot harvesting and canvassing kickbacks are taking a hit.

haven't they already explicitly said there was no internal movement within the league for this but it was 100% driven by sponsors

Did they? Well then, my point stands.


Seriously, I haven’t read a full article on this. Just the two statements.

25,000 black-owned businesses in Atlanta don’t get to participate in an event that generates $40-$100M+ now because Manfred lacks any sack.

FOX is tied to that contract for another 7 years. What the ASG brings to Atlanta >= any ad revenue loss from woke corporate America.

ETA: Teddy Ruxpin said it better

Denver is already in the running for 2022 I think? I’d just wait until then. No need to pull this together hastily when you can max out revenue next year with a full house for sure.

Nope, Libs showing their true colors they're all about voter fraud. They say private companies are free to do what they choose in this instance or Twitter but not when it comes to baking a cake.

Will the Braves continue to play in Georgia?


They can leave and take the Falcons and Hawks with them


They all suck and always have anyway

While they are at it, take UGA and Georgia Tech as a bonus....

Atlanta voted democrat. They got it. I hope they lose the SEC title game to. Elections have consequences, maybe they need to bust another water pipe to find some more democrat votes, it's working so well for them after all.

There is a very rich and amusing irony at play here
