The worst part about this is that Manfred and MLB know who their core fans are. They made this decision knowing that their core fans would not agree with it. They won't be better off financially from moving the game.

What is the league's motivation for doing this if it isn't financial and it will piss off a lot of their core fans?

Conservatives let leftists rule non-profits, churches and academia for a decade.

It's not surprising the products of that domination now run boardrooms and PR firms and the like.

Yet it was okay to have the NBA all star game there and host TNT’s NBA headquarters there.

If the numbers are right and 70% or so of people support voter id laws then basically half of people that vote Democrat support the laws as well

The issue is absolutely asinine. It’s not hard to get a stupid arse ID.

Someone should tell MLB that that area (south Cobb and north Fulton) is heavily Democrat and most certainly didn’t support the new voting law. They’re the only ones hurt by this.

This reeks of corporations forcing the MLB’s hand, wonder if they’ll force the Braves to move next

Nfl just signed a record 10 year media deal that doesnt start til 2023 so you gonna be waiting at least 15 years.

I honestly think this is a shitty thing to do to Braves fans tho. This all star game was supposed to celebrate their new stadium.

Im so tired of the left and the right trying to out cancel each other. Bunch of divas

TX just enacted a similar law so they’ll have to move the Stros and Rangers too.

They take their fans for granted, they know they’ll still attend/watch games like the other major pro sports leagues

Essentially, MLB is punishing the Braves for this. I know Rob Manfred is stupid but his stupidity reaches new levels on a regular basis.

So MLB can promote a game between the Rays and the Cuban national team in Havana but Georgia is unacceptable?

What does the MSB think would be the most triggering relocation?

For Conservatives- LA

For Libs- Dallas

Can’t be Dallas since they enacted a similar law.
