Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr. issued the following statement today regarding the 2021 All-Star Game:
"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. 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.
That was a short season. MLB is dead to me.
Meh? WFC?
Right there with you.
I guess they are stupid too......................
Woke pussy. He could have at least specified why.
I have decided that the best way to demonstrate my values as a US citizen is to tune out MLB completely.
I am officially done with MLB.
Was not planning to watch even if it had stayed in Georgia, so yeah.
I was just beginning to follow MLB again.
But, this is absurd. MLB is again dead to me.
Woke pussy. He could have at least specified why.
Too bad it’s impossible for me to stop watching MLB. But I already snubbed those arrogant b@st@rds when they went on strike in 94-95.
Interestingly it was after that that Football overtook Baseball as the most popular sport IIRC.
Another reason not to watch a bunch of posing, over paid jackasses with a highly inflated opinion of themselves.

Why not bring the games to Texas?
Oh that’s right. Texas has the same correct approach to avoiding voter fraud as does Georgia.
Dems own the black vote so they dont care to call blacks absolute retards in believing that they cant get an ID..blacks have ID, they have IDs to buy a house, pickup in store pick ups from walmart, best buy, target..they have ID to get vaccinated, but the Dem party is telling us that blacks are too damn stupid to have an ID..what this is ALL about is voter fraud, we know it, everyone knows it..its how Dems for decades have won, instead of one person one vote its been one person FIFTY votes..and Dems know if a person needs an ID to vote, they wont be able to continue that
Will anyone notice?
Goodbye MLB.
It is time for the 2024 GOP candidate to have the stones to advocate revoking MLB’s anti-trust exemption. This crap has to be responded to.
Atlanta Not So Braves
