I made millions off of my sky hook.

Therefore, my opinion matters

Here's my theory:

MLB announced that the 2021 All-Star Game is being moved out of Georgia as part of a marketing campaign to inform Americans that the All-Star Game still exists.

I honestly haven't even heard of this stupid game being played at all in the last 25+ years ... and I certainly didn't know it was scheduled to be played in Atlanta this year.

Rather than pout and grandstand these corporations should work with states and the federal government to provide IDs to all US Citizens and state citizens who do not have them. Then they could vote and fly.

Right, that’s the funniest part of all of this.
All the black owned businesses that are going to suffer because of the wokeism in the world.
But liberals/progs dont actually care about people, just causes, and if some folks get hurt by thier “cause fetish”, that’s just too bad.

What it means is that racial hatred by a significant portion of the black community is alive and well. After all the progress made on race and equality in this nation, the direction things are moving in is tragic.

To imply that any laws that require voting citizens to show proof of their citizenship, or that add safeguards against voter fraud are anti-minority is racist in and of itself.

I was going to give MLB another chance this year (I miss my St. Louis Cardinals), but not now. Does anyone else feel the walls closing in on them? This is not physical warfare but economic warfare, and it can be just as deadly. The left is getting close to being able to ruin the lives of anyone who disagrees with them. We will lose any opportunity of making a living and supporting our families.

Voter suppression is not what democracy is about.

The Georgia bill is NOT voter suppression.

It PREVENTS it.

The media, MLB and Karim are all perpetuating a LIE.

Yep. The Woke narrative is sweeping the land like a tsunami.

Not to mix metaphors, but what most folks don't realize is that it--the Woke narrative--is a tool that is being used to prepare the soil for communism.

This Woke narrative is having the same effect on our country that a controlled burn has on a forest.

It is getting rid of all features of our culture that might stand in the way of the coming implementation of the communist/collectivist agenda.

I'm with President Donald Trump on this one...
Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections. Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!

...although we boycotted the NFL, NBA and baseball when they got woke. Miss none of it.

I thought Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a little more on the ball that this. Baseball should not be made political. Making it so ruins it for me. I will not watch the Allstar game now nor will I pay any attention to the draft. I love to watch baseball. And I will not by Coca Cola this year, perhaps Pepsi instead.

Basically, he and the other racists are saying minorities are too stupid to get ID.
