MLB moves All-Star Game over Ga. voting law

Same. The BS steroid circus did it for me, though I did watch the Cubs win the World Series in 2016. Didn’t know who any of the players were at that point, but it was a lifelong dream to see it happen.

Dude this is said every time a sports league makes a stance…

They’re not dying next week. There’s a whole generation of people growing up who have never put on a leather glove, and will never give a ■■■■ about a home run hit.

Yes and my bad, there was Sunday early voting for the 2020 election and the polls were open until 8PM.
That one got past me, I always vote on the first Tuesday, kind of a tradition thing with me. I did use absentee ballots for a few years when working away from the domicile.

When the Braves knocked out the Pirates in 1990 1991 1992 is when I quit watching.

That horrible tomahawk chop and chant was awful…but now the problem is voting legislation.

Chop chop.

Libs don’t like fraud suppression laws.

I am not a baseball fan myself but the notion that the MLB will be boycotted is ridiculous. It’s America’s favorite pastime

Neither have I…or football game either.

Anything less than a personal voting concierge for every eligible voter would not be good enough.

No worries.

Georgia had the same… then they required it for two Saturdays and left it up to the counties for Sunday.

Why not require it for Sunday as well?

If they can’t cheat they can’t win.

SixFoot · 2021-04-02T22:25:39.795Z

You’re the only in this exchange to bring boycott into the discussion. Only middle-aged and old people still call it anyone at all’s favorite. lol

As a conservative you ought to be against unnecessary and burdensome rules.

At no point did I say I like they law. I did say that I dislike powerful companies trying to bully states to do their bidding. And I love it when states don’t back down. This is definitely a huge win for Georgia.

But the one question I cannot seem to get an answer to is what is the most Jim Crow-ish part of the Georgia law. In your opinion what is it?

Several of the states are tightening up their voting laws. That’s a huge plus because folks need to have confidence in the integrity of the election system again.

p.s. I hear that Delta decided to mouth off as well and Ga decided to quit giving them a discount on their jet fuel as a response.

Yea right. Only states where gop lost is more like it. How convenient of you to neglect that!

Interesting perspective from Alveda King.

This is the one that lies about MLK being a Republican right?

How is more opportunities to vote in person cheating?

Guntsu · 2021-04-02T22:36:27.249Z

In a Trumpers mind if a dem wins they cheated…

Good. Hit the pockets of the Georgia branch of white nationalist movement. Boycott them in the tradition of the Birmingham bus boycott.
I’m not into cancel culture, but I’m all in on cancelling these sorry bastards.

An astoundingly stupid move by the Georgia GOP. Last gasp for the old and white.

I hope there is record turnout. Even more than last time. We can’t let evil win. Wait for hours if you have to. Bring your own water.

Good on MLB

So called conservatives will try and “cancel” them but they don’t have the numbers or the support

My wife heard about the “no food and drink” law, and she is more than ready to drive from New Orleans to deliver food and drink.
