Boycott MLB
Do you hear Taps playing Delta? American air? Coke? NBC?
Blacks' biggest enemy is a white liberal
– Malcolm X
Facts Matter
You read bill, you know Biden lied, should MLB leave NY too. It's time to WAKE THE WOKE, BOYCOTT any company that gets involved with politics, I will NEVER watch baseball again.
Why wouldnt you want ID, unless you want to steal Amerians votes.
If your against ID, you are stealing and suppressing MY vote.
I have already boycotted the NFL, MBA , coke, public school system, now MLB and Goodyear. If a person can have I.D. To cash a check, to drive and to buy liquor they should have one to vote!
Good job MLB! Thankful for all those Atlanta businesses your actions will hurt. Do you know the demographics of Atlanta?
I agree with MLB, NBA, Coca Cola, Delta, et al. If you have rules for voting, blacks are disproportionally disenfranchised because they are less likely to understand or be able and willing to follow those rules. Uh … except that … that sounds awfully racist.
Good for All Star.
Do you know how much money Sports bring into that state? We need our own teams. I don't even see Black Baseball players anymore.
What's up with that?
No respect for Jackie or Hank.
I want Asian people, Latinas and White Woman to stop pulling on Black Lives Matter.
You don't give a care about Black people until you get a taste of what we've been feeling for hundreds and hundreds of years.
Stop playing games and stand up for yourselves.
Next voting cycle Georgia will remember it was the Democrats – specifically Abrams, Warnock, Bottoms, McBath, and Biden – who cost the state millions in much needed revenue. Abrams rigged the election results with her massive voter fraud scheme, now she is fighting the common sense protections against future voter fraud found in the Bill. There is no racism or voter suppression in the Bill.
Abrams you represent fraud and the dumbing down of America.
Coke Cola should #uncoke their HQ from Atlanta
These people are so Racist , CNBC CNN MSNBC , they are taking us back a hundred years , , Wake up , SHEEP .
Coincidence?
One day after signing a deal with Chinese telecommunications giant Tencent, MLB boycotts Georgia for voting law. Chinese state media reported on April 1 that the MLB will continue to be aired on the streaming platform operated by Chinese tech giant Tencent, which has significant ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Tencent is one of the Chinese companies that had temporarily dropped NBA games as a form of censorship after former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey spoke out in support of the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
Go woke go broke
Asking for I'd is nuts?
This was the last sport I watched. I guess it's time to boycott all things baseball.
Baseball stay out of politics it isn't your lane.
#Uyghur lives matter
Wow so if you don’t vote the way they want you to, they take money from the citizens? Wow lol
Wow they are systematically destroying every major city in this country.
just shut down all business in Georgia
This is hilarious, they voted for Biden and will now Atlanta will loose a $100 million in revenue Ha Ha.
So glad they want play in our great state of Georgia. We don’t need baseball READ THE BILL. Ignorance is ramped in America. Georgia has more lax voter rules than all these blue states complaining. They are FOOLS to think we can read and see for ourselves what’s in the bill. Unfortunately there are millions of idiots in America who want even look at the bill and believe the lies and everything these democratic news outlets say. READ THE BILL AND COMPARE
WE as AMERICANS HAVE TO BURY JIM GROW ONCE an for ALL. AMERICAN POWER !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Let them pull the game l am from Georgia and don't give a sh-t
Bend over for Biden.
Any updates on the capitol attack yesterday that left a capitol police officer dead? I believe one of the actual news channels names the attacked as Noah Green, follower of the Nation of Islam. Background, motive, news!?
Don’t believe her. High unemployment is exactly what that slob wants in order to keep people dependent on the Democratic Machine.
Protesting for adding an ID check in the election process is really really really stupid. If MLB is contrary to id checks why not letting the game spectators in the stadium without a ticket? This move is actually good for Atlanta baseball is a boring sport. And MLB is even more 😴 boring. The city can use the stadium for something more useful and revenue generating.
Baseball died a long time ago….this just buries them
People should not be require to show ID to vote! Anybody should should buy or be able to bring drinks to voter even sponsors. Voters can now only bring their only drinks but it will not be sponsor drink like a Coke from Democrat Party.😫. Glad companies like Delta Airlines, Coca-cola, J.P. Morgan among other companies that are backing MLB move AllStar Game and MLB draft to another state too! Looks like California or Seattle is the rumor. Next year All Star game was schedule for LA. President Biden has got your back, Atlanta!😊. President Biden remembers!
Major League Baseball expanded its contract with the Chinese firm Tencent, which has significant ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
The announcement was made on April 1st.
On April 2nd Major League Baseball moved the All-Star Game out of Georgia after state leaders passed a new election law that requires a photo ID to vote absentee in the state. MLB said it was undemocratic.
