Atlanta and Houston are in two states with Jim Crow 2.0 voting laws. Will they move the World Series games like they did the Allstar game to teach these racist states a lesson?

No. Both teams have to agree to it & there has to be a legit reason .

I haven't followed mlb in yrs, but this is great. Hope this connection picks up to rub it in.

Especially with the TX double whammy voter/abortion laws.

Remember GA ruffled feathers with its abortion laws too, and Netflix threatened to pull its filming projects. I think that's still going through the court system.

Worst scenario for MLB, and I love it.

Attention: Wokes.... be careful (All-star game relocation) what you wish for. This is a textbook example of how the Left prepares for the future. Their explanation of the thought process about moving one and not the other will be glorious.

[MEMBER??]......

"In a statement, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said the league is "finalizing a new host city and details about these events will be announced shortly." A source told ESPN that the 2022 All-Star Game is still planned for Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and that that site won't be moved up to fill the void this summer."

"Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views," Manfred said in his statement. "I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year's All-Star Game and MLB Draft.

"Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States. We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process. Fair access to voting continues to have our game's unwavering support."

Now all that is needed is for Trump to throw the first pitch.

While Stacey Abrams and the MLB stole the All-Star Game from hardworking Georgians, the Braves earned their trip to the World Series this season and are bringing it home to Georgia.

Chop On, and Go

There will probably shrieks for protests from the most virtuous of virtue signalers among us. But what will really happen is those who “protests” by not watching will only be the ones who weren’t going to watch in the first place

Great question, it highlights their hypocrisy.

I would think the network will have way more viewers for the World Series than the All-Star game. They don’t want to screw that up.

Hope to make it to Truist Park to see the Bravos play in the WS. It’s been way too long.

Let’s put it this a way

The state of Mississippi was never once allowed to host an NCAA championship tournament because of their Confederate adorned State flag.
-The NCAA effectively DOXXED the State of Mississippi out of hosting regional National Baseball Championship tournaments for decades...because of their FLAG
