comb. Of the other 15 states plus DC in MLB, I seriously doubt that any of them don't have at least a few items that quote "suppress" more than the voting laws in Georgia.
I guarantee you MLB will not be able to find a said state.
BTW, this is the result of the woke mob. This is on you that caused this Stacy Abrams & the 2 senators Warnock & Ossoff. All 3 are crawfishing big time now for taking business(es) away from their home state. And you too facking Biden, what President publicly supports & asks to boycott one of our states.

I guess they can move all games to California, but nobody will be allowed to attend.

I guess when corporations buy an election, they expect to have a say in the legislative process

The crazy thing about all of this? All of this posturing is to convince the simpletons who didn't actually read the bill that it suppresses voters. It took away signature verification and gave no excuse Absentee voting. It extends early voting and COVID era dropboxes. The whole no food and water thing is ridiculous. It says poll workers can't give free food and water to voters within 150 ft of the polling stations. They can still set up 'self serve' stations where voters may get these items. But, who the frick needs to be fed and watered at the polls? At most, people are there for 2 hours. If they are incapable of bringing a drink and a bag of goldfish with them, maybe they're not competent enough to be voting.

This will backfire on the MLB "big league" more so than such a move by the MBA would given my perception of their respective fanbases.

All of this over-politicizing every facet of life with wokeness is beyond tiresome.

There is line from the movie The People vs. Larry Flynt that keeps sticking out in my mind: [Althea]: "No one wants to mix their porn and religion, Larry!"

MLB was the one league that could not afford to lose fans over woke. I would guess that 70% of their fans lean right. This will hurt big time for baseball.

Nobody at the MLB will care about losing the rednecks of South. It’s the reason there are only a few clubs in the South.

NY doesn’t allow people to give out water in line. I guess the Yankees will be forced to move

They won’t. I think they are wrong in their reasoning, but this won’t hurt them, it just hurts Georgia.

...
wishful thinking ....

There isn’t any “voter suppression “ going on in Georgia. It’s okay to give people water and food while in line .... as long as you’re not a campaign affiliate. Georgia allows “no excuse” absentee ballots , mail In ballots, and extended early voting period.

The more prone one is to procrastination .... the longer it takes to actually vote. Voters that aren’t prepared cause longer lines for everyone .... at least, that’s what I see in Fulton County

I really don’t care. The ATL and MLB deserve everything they get out of this. If college sports and pro sports disappear tomorrow, I will not miss it. That is where this is headed.

Yep, I was a sports die hard just a few years ago. Saint, LSU, Braves, and Pelicans. Could not give a crap about all of the above now. Hiking, fishing, running, and family have taken their place. I'm better off.

They’ screwed up. MLB that is. Georgia won’t cave and it’s an insult to blacks. Didn’t realize blacks don’t know where the dmv is, know how to use the internet, or carry ID

I was watching ESPN last night for sports highlights and of course here comes the political stuff...NCAAW tourney shite, women and WOC all over the place...they showed the UCONN Women’s Coach, old white dude, and I’m thinking bro they hate your arse! Then they go with the GA voting thing and it gets political right out of the gate and the host starts with the tripe about false allegations of voting fraud in GA circa 2020...I had to turn that bullshite off immediately! fricking frickity frick! Can those mofos just can it already with the political bs and just show me some GD sports? shite!

Wisconsin allows you to register the day of the election. They can move it to that clownshow.

What an idiot.

Your sorry arse fricking state is very redneck. fricking trailer parks everywhere.

Then you have Thugville (Chicago) and Limpwristerville (Springfield).

Illinois is far worse than any southern state.
