Legendary sportscaster and CNN contributor Bob Costas reacts to news that Major League Baseball is moving the All-Star Game and draft from Atlanta in response to Georgia’s recently passed laws that placed new restrictions on voting.

MLB picked a city that has not bought into its own Covid hysteria.
Having to show an ID to vote is racist. Everybody knows black people can’t get an ID. Glad they moved it to Colorado. You still have to show an ID to vote in Colorado but they have less black people so they are less affected. Great job.
The DUMBEST MAN IN TELEVISION pontificates once again!!!
Not just the id… it’s closing voting sites, limiting early voting and mail in voting, and because the lines will get longer , you can go to jail to passing out water and snacks There’s also the changing of authority to CHANGE THE RESULT OF ACTUAL VOTING COUNTS by people in state government.
Lemon starts off race baiting and Costas falls in line! They are lying and have already been proven wrong! Yet they keep it up! FAKE NEWS!!!
So you have to have Id to vote ?
Hmm đŸ¤” what to prove your a legit resident of the state and country wow makes perfectly good sense what doesn't make sense is a president that is telling big corporations to boycott the state and spreading false information!!!
C'mon Joe get your sh*t together
Don lemon is the worse
The soft reaction postoperatively succeed because page hemperly permit round a sore rubber. nauseating, tested gemini
The same Braves that left Atlanta to the suburbs because of black people
Good job. You've moved it to a state that is a fraction of the black population doesn't allow food in lines and has a less early days of voting than Georgia does
Why does utube post this lousy le mon. and his stupidity and wont post my rants
MLB grievances? Why would MLB have a grievance regarding voting laws? This is hyperbole and nothing more, it is certainly part of this "cancel culture". This situation is a self-created conflict, Costas just pitted Whites and Blacks, in baseball, against each other. By the way, what part of the voting law is being challenged?
So, let me get this straight, MLB is pulling out of Atlanta and taking the millions that would go to the local economy (51% black/40% white) to play in Denver (10% black/76% white) because of (non-existent) racism in a voting bill.
Oh, the GD irony of it all.
Will listen no more. How is the new GA voting law, ultimately restrictive to legal registered voters, regardless of color, etc.? So far, you have given no specifics.
Its not restrictive it expands it and disallows no ID requirement. Deleware is more strict than Ga. Your lying about its intention. We boycott MLB and will just walk away if you really want us too. Players go ahead jump on board and your going to lose your pay.
I love how people accuse Republicans of being racist, while simultaneously saying black people aren't smart enough to follow simple rules. Come on people, voting isn't something we do every other Tuesday.
MLB moved the game to Colorado where voting in person or by mail requires valid ID, proving their gesture is merely virtue signaling, nothing more.
"We have start with the truth" would be a fresh approach for communist news network.
This is the last straw for me with the MLB! I'm done with it!
Bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
"…makes it harder for people of color to vote". So Lemon, are you pushing the narrative that African American's can't get IDs? That they can't bring their own water to the poll? That they won't be able to make it to extended early voting? None of these things have anything to do with skin color. Get a grip and read the bill.
THATS WHAT THEY GET…YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR TOUR RACISM
I use to turn to baseball to get a break from Partisan Politics.
Today baseball is fast becoming what I'm trying to get a break
from.
The MLB requires you to show an ID when you pick up tickets to a BB game, but we don't need one to vote? The left truly doesn't see their hypocrisy. They will say the MLB is private, they can ask for ID if they want. What about a private Liquor store? I have to have ID to buy liquor, cuz, uh, the law says so. Idiots!
everything is always an issue, nothing racists about showing an ID to vote.. bunch of clowns
DISGUSTING.. good bye MLB.. idiots !
Keep politics out of sports!!!
Most Americans have ID….is this a immigration thing?
He knows if he were to disagree he would be cancelled as well
Boycott the all star game
the Georgia law that requires people to have ID to vote makes it harder for people of color to vote? Are you saying black people including yourself cannot read/write and are too mentally impaired to have an ID inorder to vote? You are the textbook definition of a real racist, Marthur Luther King would be turning in his grave if he found out how ignorant and easily susceptible to brainwashing/propaganda today's society and generation is. May he rest in peace. The Media Is The Matrix – The Media Is The Real Virus, and too many people are trapped in it.
Please education yourself and you will know the truth. I was in that mental prison too, until I got out, so you can do it too. "The Truth Shall Set You Free" I believe in you.
Quite a few dislikes CNN. I relish the day you are gone. It may take a while but it will happen.
thanks for the info bob now im gonna boycott baseball
Is the mlb commissioner giving up his personal membership in Augusta ??? Lol. Let’s see. !
CNN is a proprietor of woke socialist culture and Fake News.
I thought it was Latino players leading baseball…black players are so few….whites still dominant in that game though.
Fraud never existed in their 2020 GA elections. This Law allegedly aims to bring voting and election integrity? But they had determined there was no fraud, and therefore no lost integrity. The majority of Folks just voted Trump out! Too many lies, nonchalance about our dying of covid19, his deals, and govt inaction.
