    Why do you assume MLB didn’t do it’s own research?

    This doesn't make it harder, it EXPANDS voting opportunity. See above.

    They're statement and the facts about the law. Who said on national TV that it would limit voting hours to 5 O'clock.

    Anti white racism is what the fashionable liberal is wearing this spring.

    She called it racist as did China Joe Biden. China Joe even said that MLB should pull the game! The President of the United States called it Jim Crowe and told MLB to pull the game and they did. The problem is China Joe just got 4 Pinocchios (which is the worst you can do), for his lies on the Georgia Voter Law.

    Here is the real question....

    Will President Joe Biden pull the U.S. Olympic Team from China due to their massive human rights violations? Surely, they are far far far worse than the improved voting law in Georgia that got the All Star Game pulled.

    Here comes the hypocrisy!!!!

    Below is from your OP, this is what you’ve snipped, so this is what you’re saying. Do not weasel out, do not qualify and quantify, just own it!

    ...Major League Baseball announced Friday afternoon that the game would be moving out of the Atlanta Braves' Truist Park because of the state's new law that restricts voting rights. The MLB draft is also being moved out of Georgia...

    so... why do you think Georgia new law restricts voting rights?

    To "most" Georgians....lovely

    Also, "Most" people in Europe were not killed in WWII..

    Also also, what Joe incorrectly said about the first drafts of the law have nothing to do with what MLB is doing here..

    Focus man... FOCUS!

    And MLB will no longer be asking to see a ticket upon entry or ID when buying an $18.00 beer!

    No they didnt. They extended early voting by 1 extra Saturday, but made the Sunday’s optional. It was always 3 weeks. So in reality they are giving counties the option of actually shortening early voting because they can close the sundays. BUT.....Early voting in Georgia actually shows it is heavily republican votes.....

    I’m sure you got your news from Fox....

    https://www.npr.org/2021/03/25/9813...on-overhaul-including-changes-to-absentee-vot
    This new law also shortens the hours those polls are open,....But I’m sure the working class will be able to make it sometime between 8-5......

    It's just laughable how suffrage and economic suppression is justified to achieve a political aims. And then they have the gall to say they're fighting for voting, which doesn't do anything for the voter but does do something for the politician(it employs them.).

    Instead of voter suppression, we should cite citizen suppression. Suppressed as a populace by a ever taxing federal government that only cares to screw we the people regardless of democratic and republican views.

    Isn't the new law an argument for a national holiday for voting? If it's a national holiday then people can take off work to vote. Thereby eliminating any grappling with time.

    Well your first sentence is an ad hominem attack that means nothing -- other than the lack of a well reasoned argument. For example, given your reference to a character from an old movie from the 70s I could say I picture you as an old hippie -- or a birkenstock wearing "boomer". See how that sort of an argument works.

    Freedom of speech applies to the government trying to restrict speech. Freedom of speech does not mean I have a requirement to spend my money to promote politics I don't agree with. And consider that it was liberals that came up with the cancel culture.

    Of course sports teams contribute money to politicians. How else would they get tax payers to pay for all of their sports stadiums.
    Tax payers plunked down 300 million of taxpayer money for the Atlanta Braves stadium. Now they get to take it up the [deleted] from MLB. What a deal. Of course with the "wokeness" from sports teams good luck getting taxpayer money in the future.

    I need to vent on this one....... Major League Baseball was the last Professional sport I indulge. Used to love Basketball, and followed the Suns diligently. Dropped them immediately when they bowed to the Marxist Organization BLM. Would not watch football when they started kneeling. Now the MLB bowed to the lies told by Ole' Joe and I am done with them. I'll miss watching every single Diamondback game and I'll miss going to Phoenix to watch the games live. Cancel culture is destroying the culture.

    In hindsight I'll just spend more time watching high school sports, City softball, and grandsons little league. Until these Pro Sports make a public statement they are Pro American and recognize their mistakes.....I'm done!

    Why should a private company disapprove publicly of the law of the state they have headquarters in? It should cost them!

    It has! :applause:

    The law makes no such requirement and the AJC and WaPo say voting has actually been expanded.
