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?
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.
Now all that is needed is for President Trump to throw the first pitch.
Remember?
"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."
