    Not for mayor, not for special elections, not for primaries not for lots of elections. And what about property who vote early or by mail why should the get a mandated day off?

    ROFL!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Major League Baseball just moved the All Start Game to a state and city with less advantageous voting laws and far far far less Black People that will benefit from the game and the economy it delivers. Denver thanks China Joe Biden and MLB for bringing the game to them! The people of Atlanta can get bent, courtesy of China Joe and MLB.

    Precisely...MLB moved away as far as they can from BLM out of fear of protesting and rioting. They moved from 1 area that was had heavy Black population to Whitest area possible. There is over 30 fields that could have hosted that game...but no. Then went to area with fewest Black population. MLB just used Georgia voting bill as excuse to get the hell as far away from BLM as they can from Atlanta Georgia.

    LOL Georgie governor Kemp just made the comment that he finds it odd that MLB moved from a city that is heavy Black, over 51 percent to a city that is mostly white…less then 10 percent.

    Truth is getting out there.

    With the surge of international players from the Caribbean and Asia, it appears MLB doesn't care so much about Blacks anymore. They don't care that they are crapping all over Hank Aaron's Atlanta Brave history. Leftists and MLB can use Blacks as an excuse to screw them over and the MSM will barely question it. This is what all this Politics of Division and Wokeness brings... real racism and they do it while the dummies on the Left smile.

    Blacks have been a decreasing demographic in players for Major League Baseball down from the 14% which is slightly above the nation's percentage of Blacks to nearly half that number. Major League Baseball is giving lip service while running Blacks out of the game. It's crazy, but the Leftists are celebrating.

    I grew up watching Hank Aaron. Shame really what he had to endure when he was closing on Babe Ruth record.

    MLB crapped all over Hank Aaron history.

    the MLB is a private enterprise and does not owe reparations to disadvantaged groups.

    Oh FFS, how is MLB running blacks out of the game? Could it be that most African American kids would rather be James or Jordan rather than Stanton or Judge?

    Yep. Hammering Hank had to overcome near reaching the record and now MLB just took away his memorial from the city where he mattered most. The Black Americans in Atlanta need to suck it up and vote Democrat or they will have to endure more Big Business, Big Tech, Big Media targeting. Blacks had better get in line and vote Democrat! This is just a warning shot.

    When the % of players drops below 1/2 of their % in the U.S. and does so quickly, MLB is crapping on Blacks. It's alright, if they vote how they are supposed to vote, no one will mention it.... but don't expect it to change as the Democrats now shift to Hispanics.

    Tim Scott knows what's going on. He's sees it too. They wanted out of Atlanta Georgia out of fear of BLM. Also the verdict on Derek Chauvin will be in just before July All Star game. And they wanted to be nowhere near Atlanta when that happens.

    Thats the reasoning of a toddler. The fact that the % of African American players is dropping is not proof that MLB is responsible. Why waste bandwidth with this rubbish?

    If that's true it would hard to blame them.

    Or MLB could use that even in Atlanta to unit a burning nation even if it was for just 1 day.

    MLB throwing stones in a glass house. The irony is thick that an organization (MLB) that has the worst possible voting system is pissed that Atlanta is trying to make their voting system fair and equitable!

    Rev up your voters! #FinalVote finish line near

    CINCINNATI -- Finally, it's here. You've been involved since late April in deciding roster spots for the 86th All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile. Now comes the last day and the blockbuster finish for the Esurance All-Star Game Final Vote.

    The deadline to vote as many times as you'd like is 4 p.m. ET today, and Twitter voting started at 10 a.m. ET with the designated player hashtags -- featuring player emojis this time -- counting as votes once again. Then those 34th and final roster spots will be revealed on MLB.com as we turn our attention to Cincinnati and the start of All-Star Week.

    And what is the temperature is below 10 degrees?
    What if that day off falls on the third Thursday of the 11th month during a solar equinox?
    What if it happens on a day when you have a Dr appointment ?

    So Biden had no problem with calling for MLB to move the All Star game and keeps saying so but when asked about the Master Tournament in his press conference today he dodges and says it's not his place to call for it to be moved or cancelled. He calls the laws in GA which only mimic laws throughout the country including his own state Jim Crowe again. And GA has more voting days than CO so CO is more Jim Crowe than GA.
