Wilbon is talking with his liberal blinders on. There is nothing racial in this bill, other than liberals thinking minorities are too dumb or too poor to have some sort of ID.
Total reverse racism. Boycott woke coke and delta. Send a message to these overpaid, precious CEOs. Run the business we as investors are paying you to run and keep your noses out of politics. When you play this game you are putting our investor money at stake for a loss if half the country decides not to buy your sugar water or fly in one of your planes… just do you F&@$ing jobs!
Espn did no research on this. The bill had nothing to do with the right to vote. Mlb was indifferent to moving locations because the league is liable to lose money wherever the game is this year.
disgusting. make IDs easier for people to get, require them to vote. Use publicy auditable open standards for electronic voting / tallying. that's all. surveillance nearly everywhere else is dystopian. Not for elections in the 21st century.
I'm black and I have identification. How would that law make my process of voting difficult? Wait. Isn't a driver's license a form of identification? If you can't get your driver's license, that's just pure laziness.
Shame the MLB is punishing the fans of Atlanta moving the game out.
I went to the All-Star game in 2009 and it was one of the coolest games I've ever attended! One cool memory was watching President Obama throwing the pitch!
Makes me sad that they are doing this, preventing people from experiencing it. Sure they want to show their position on the voter laws, but what's the cost? Nobody wins with this decision.
These are the same people that are going to push the agenda that you need a vaccine which means you need ID and Biden said Black people and Hispanics aren’t smart enough to get on the Internet so that makes vaccine passport racist
What a shame for all fans and Hank Arron. I read the bill, and everything espn says is not true. The bill went thru all the chambers of government and everyone in that state voted for it. It’s so crazy are these lies from ESPN.
It's an ID…WHO DOESN'T HAVE AN ID? a child that's who…you can't drive to the game without a DL you can't get on a plane to go to the game without an ID….so ridiculous….who can't get an ID but can buy a ticket to a game?
Wilbon whether you're black, brown, yellow or white you should have to show your identification to vote. There's nothing racist about it. You need your Id to do many things. You guys have an active imagination and are closet racist yourself.
Once again liberalism rears its ugly head. Sadly a permanent cancer to America (i can no longer call us the United States). I'm just thankful that I've lived well over 50% of my life and will be leaving this screwed up planet sooner rather than later.
Patriots…. The National Basketball Association & Major League Baseball have been transformed into a political action committee's for the Democrat party. In addition, the following companies worked on Joe Biden's behalf, fund raised, and campaigned for the Biden, BLM and other far left activist organizations.
Hit them where it counts!

I guess all those things are now racist
You should have to prove who you are to vote. United States is one of the few democratic countries in the world that operate on the honors system when it comes to vote.
Wilbon is talking with his liberal blinders on. There is nothing racial in this bill, other than liberals thinking minorities are too dumb or too poor to have some sort of ID.
Why does everyone act like voting is so difficult? Show up at your precinct and vote. Jeezus
Just came to thumbs down for insulting us minorities by saying we are so dumb and incapable to get an id.
Total reverse racism. Boycott woke coke and delta. Send a message to these overpaid, precious CEOs.

GA listen and learn from VA. I find it interesting that Virginia did an about-face and has expanded their voting access in the following ways:
1) Repealed voter ID law
2) Made Election day a Holiday
3) Allows 45 days of no-excuse absentee voting
4) Automatic voter registration for anyone who gets driver license
5) Restored voting rights for former felons.
Wait! Why does it harder for people of color to vote?? 😂 color people don’t go get a driver license to drive? 😂 that’s what you’re saying espn??
disgusting. make IDs easier for people to get, require them to vote. Use publicy auditable open standards for electronic voting / tallying.
that's all.

Michael wilbon shouldn't vote.

This just in: Major League Baseball announced that the 2021 MLB All Star game will now be played in Bejing.

Bring a pack of Gushers and a bottle of Dasani.
Wilbon is full of it all they wanna do is have to prove you are who you are with a id the media was fed lies and believe it its sick
Make it difficult so your saying black people can get I.d you think black people are stupid
If you don’t want voter IDs, then you don’t want a fair and honest election!
Serious question: What part of the Georgia voting law applies to "black and brown people" (quote) and does not apply to white people?……
These are the same people that are going to push the agenda that you need a vaccine which means you need ID and Biden said Black people and Hispanics aren’t smart enough to get on the Internet so that makes vaccine passport racist
I cant watch anymore of this sh*t!nnn
Good for baseball. They did the right thing.
What a shame for all fans and Hank Arron. I read the bill, and everything espn says is not true. The bill went thru all the chambers of government and everyone in that state voted for it. It’s so crazy are these lies from ESPN.
So long M.L.B.! Homey don’t play that game anymore!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣💙🤣💙🤣
im done with baseball stay out of politics
It's an ID…WHO DOESN'T HAVE AN ID? a child that's who…you can't drive to the game without a DL you can't get on a plane to go to the game without an ID….so ridiculous….who can't get an ID but can buy a ticket to a game?
Bye bye baseball!!! I dont need a i.d. to vote. I don't need a vaccine passport to travel!!!
Wilbon whether you're black, brown, yellow or white you should have to show your identification to vote. There's nothing racist about it. You need your Id to do many things. You guys have an active imagination and are closet racist yourself.
Nooooooooo 😔😔😔😔🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ i had faith that these 2 actually read the Bill 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ REAL JOURNALISM IS DEAD
You need ID ago buy beer,cigarettes and even drive…why not to vote….God I don’t understand these snowflake demotards
Such stupidity and ignorance and lies from the Left. MLB ratings will tank.
Get woke get broke, boycott
It's too bad that MLB didn't take the time to actually read & understand the law before making such foolish claims. Same with Coke & Delta.
Bye bye Baseball.
All I heard was antidotes and emotions… No facts why this bill is wrong.
Lol. The WNBA. all 293 of their fans
Cancel Wilbon, ESPN and MLB. Making this racist IS racist. Politics and bill comprehension is not for you.
Another ignorant talking head. Try actually reading the bill before spewing your propaganda
MLB sucks boycott
Once again liberalism rears its ugly head. Sadly a permanent cancer to America (i can no longer call us the United States). I'm just thankful that I've lived well over 50% of my life and will be leaving this screwed up planet sooner rather than later.
This is bull and lies
Great idea.
Who cares?Its baseball. Does anyone even watch the most boring sport?
How exactly are they stopping people that look like you from voting
REPUBLICANS-INDEPENDENTS BOYCOTT NBA, MLB
Patriots….

– Getting a Job
-Drive a Car
-Purchase Alcohol and Tobacco
– Purchase items in store with a credit card
– Open a bank account
– Join the Military
