Democracy Defenders? MLB Doesn’t Signal Plans to Move Facility from China

Major League Baseball is boycotting Georgia while doing business with China.

I'm at a loss for words.

Well, not really.

MLB has their headquarters and two teams in NYC, which resides in a state that has more strict voter laws than Georgia. So MLB absorbs Biden's lies and the lies the media had to tell to cover for him, and goes on to harm the black businesses and residents of Georgia. Does MLB believe no blacks will be harmed in Georgia? Apparently they don't care.

But what turns their idiocy into liberal hypocrisy, is MLB continues to do business in the human rights hell hole known as China. Now Biden might not care about China's cultural norms, but if MLB is going to get upset over a law that really shouldn't negatively impact anyone, and a law that was democratically conceived, then why are they continuing to do business with a country that literally tramples on human rights and has zero democracy?

Meanwhile, back in a world many normal people might not recognize, Keith Olberman is calling for the Masters Tournament to be boycotted and moved out of Georgia. But MLB in China is something he doesn't want to address.

Major League Bitchplay cucked itself because their management is a table of morons. I mean what other explanation is there? Legally speaking GA's laws are Constitutional and in keeping with other voting laws around the country. Strategically speaking the people butthurt over there aren't likely to be supporters of the MLB anyways so who cares if they're mad? The only level this functioned on was the ideological one where the lies of Stacey Abrams, Pres Biden, and other clowns could resonate on social media and state controlled media and that's where MLB executives got down on both knees before the mob.

 

The MLB is still doing business in Georgia.. in fact there is still an MLB team in Georgia, and a stadium which is going to host 81 games this year. The MLB is not cutting business ties with Georgia, they are simply no longer hosting the all-star game and the draft in Georgia

 

Exactly.

You just shot the entire premise of the OP out of the water.

 

Yeah, all these companies and sports organizations spout a big pile of BS, but they never follow through with anything that might even remotely affect their bottom lines. Georgians needn't lose a moments sleep over their posturing.

 

Which is the same thing as removing business from Georgia. Perhaps 'some' of it, rather than all of it as you point out but it's still economic punitive punishment nevertheless, affecting the workers who work there as well as the fans who had brought tickets for the game(it's my understanding they're being refunded.)

In short, it's an indefensible dick move but that's what we expect from the party and its supporters who claimed to "come together". Come together, my ass ROFL.

 

Lest anyone think any of this is about anything other than money, it isn’t. All the head bean counters of a Corporation sit in a room and assess what is best for their business. Most of them would rather ignore everything if possible, but I guess at times they feel they must do something. Do they want to risk possibly getting boycotted and bad press, or are they willing to lose some older white guys business?
Most of these companies cater to a younger, more diversified demographic, and they set their policies based on that.

 

I think what Coachac said above is valid... which group is more likely to start a nationally publicized chit storm over these things, the left and the MSM, or the right and Fox News? Yes, the left and the MSM... so the companies have to protect their brands from bad publicity from the left and the MSM. By siding with the left, they are hoping to avoid the chit storm. But little do these companies know, it will be a never ending string of appeasement.

 

Why does Major League Baseball boycott Georgia for voter ID law when they require a Picture ID to pick up tickets from Will Call?

I do not spect you to answer.

 

Why does Major League Baseball boycott Georgia for voter ID law when they require a Picture ID to pick up tickets from Will Call?

 

I'm guessing many players, coaches, owners and management folks have passports. And I'm guessing many of them must have passports in order to conduct business. Yet none of them complain.

 

A dick move that even Stacey Abrams and Sen. Ossoff opposed for self preservation politically reasons. It’s highly unlikely Biden would win in Georgia in 2024 now.

 

You clearly do not know what you are talking about, Georgia has required picture ID to vote since 2006. The MLB is not removing the all-star game and draft from Georgia because they are requiring picture ID to vote. That is a completely uninformed notion

 

Ive read the new law, and found nothing that restricts voting for anyone.

That’s all there’s to it.

 

These "Woke" Corporations are in bed with Slavers even while they virtue signal on their moral purity.

More than that, Colorado has many of the same voting laws Georgia is trying to implement in this bill.

Where they moved the game.

Confused management. MLB is a business designed to produce revenue and profit. Moving out of China would reduce revenue and profit. The strange thing is that moving out of Georgia may do the same thing. The first decision is pure business. The second one is pure partisanship. Very confused.

 

Because the the change in Georgia law has nothing to do with voter ID. A strict voter ID law already exists there and will not change.

 

Well, I did not see anything in the new law that should get Liberals up in arms, nothing. If anything, NY law where MLB is located and CO where they have moved All-Star game has laws just as strict.

Go figure.

 

MLB also entered into a contract with the City of Atlanta to host the 2021 MLB All Star Game. They then breached that contract by moving the game due to some ridiculous lie about the city trying to disenfranchise minorities. To make matters worse, the game is being moved to Denver, CO which has stricter laws then Georgia. Nothing in GA's new election law is any different then already exists in other states.

The reason that the Demwits are against the law is not based on what is in the law, but because the Congress and Senate are trying to use their slight majority in each house to ram through a Unconstitutional bill called the "For the People Act". That law goes in a totally different and illegal direction. It removes some of the rights that the US Constitution affords to the states. So, if GA's law is allowed to stand then the state can challenge the Act in the courts, and they will win. That is why the GA law has gotten the DNC member's panties in a wad.

The Biden Administration is lying to the US about the law. He claims that the GA law is "Jim Crowe of the 21st Century". But he does not stop there. His White House Press Sec has parroted Biden's lie that the law reduces the hours that voting can be conducted. That is a complete lie. The law clarifies when early voting can be conducted. The previous law stated that early voting could be conducted during normal business hours. The new law merely defines normal business hours as being 9am to 5pm. It also gives counties the option of expanding early voting hours to 7am to 7pm. The law adds more Saturday voting then the previous law, and even gives the counties the option to offer Sunday early voting. So, the Georgia law does not reduce the hours of voting, it expands it. As far a election day voting, there was no changes from the previous law. So, how does this law disenfranchise minorities?

Oh, I know. It requires those requesting absentee ballots to provide Identification. But that requirement has been dumbed down to the point of being ridiculous. All a person has to do is include the last four of their SSN and their date of birth.

So, there is no reason for the Demwits to whine about this new law, nor for the MLB to move the All Star game. This is why, I am boycotting the MLB. As far as I am concerned, Atlanta should tell my beloved Braves to pack-up and move out immediately.

 

How is it strict? Please compare it to other states.. Do some research.. You have been lied to

 

Well if they want to screw the pooch and assert their political ideology.....we will screw theirs as well. Guess my focus will not be on Professional teams for the time being. That is, until they acclaim once again, their Patriotism. They can move Professional Sports to Communist China as far as I am concerned. Maybe College will use their abandoned stadiums!

 

It will be their undoing.

 

Yup!

It was never about "racial justice."

 

In many states it is illegal to allow anyone to video or take photos inside a polling place. This is to insure pressure can't be put on voters during or after the election. Texas wants to change that. Why?
In Georgia and other states Black Christians have long had a tradition of going to worship, going together to vote, and returning to Church for pot luck on Sunday. Georgia and other states had planned to end Sunday voting. They later bowed to political pressure and withdrew that. Is this cancel culture? How does this make for better voting?
Many states and Georgia are either limiting or doing away with drop boxes put out by local election officials. Since these boxes are locked and at least as secure as a mail box why does this need to be done?
Many states are looking to reduce the number of days or hours for early voting. Since early voting is no different than voting during election day and since it makes it more difficult to vote how does this improve voting?
Georgia has closed many polling places in the last several years. Most of those closed are in areas where minorities vote. Lines have gotten longer especially in Black urban districts. Is this a coincidence? Why do longer lines improve voting?
It is illegal to provide water or folding lawn chairs to people waiting in these long lines why?
Georgia says there were no problems with mail in ballots in their state and yet have reduced to window for asking for ballots from 49 to 29 days. Is this because Democrats and minorities use this type of Ballot? How does this improve election integrity
Since Georgian officials say that the last two elections contained no fraud, were accurate, and that they were proud of those elections why do the same officials find it necessary to make large changes in a system that they themselves say worked well?

The objection is that there is no good reason for the changes except for the obvious one, to make it more difficult to vote and to make it more difficult for certain categories of voter to vote.
