Cons live for cancel culture, don't let anyone tell you differently: https://www.axios.com/trump-major-l...ing-34e052f0-89eb-4cc7-8a99-d63bd8709077.html Trump calls for MLB boycott after All-Star Game moves out of Georgia
@gwb-trading IS THIS CANCELLING? IS THIS CANCEL CULTURE? OR DO YOU DEEM THIS ... OK. How much you bet he won't respond? #hypocrites
Actually I don't deem it OK. Nor do I deem the MLB cancelling the All-Star game in Atlanta acceptable. MLB is a business - they should stay the heck out of politics. The MLB has offended over half of their audience (which tends to be right-leaning) with this move.
Apparently, they disagree with you; and aren't worried about any of their fans that now need a safe place.
MLB can do what it wants and I am sure no one will give a shit to be honest. If someones claims to be a fan and suddenly declrares they are no longer watching any baseball, they are lying or never really were a fan. It is all social media outrage. Like NIKE....NFL...... all that faux outrage is just social justice warriors on both sides lying to look cool. MLB decided GA has gone too far with its voting laws and wants to make a statement of support. It makes more money going somewhere else anyway, that stadium will still be filled as much as allowed and tv ratings will still be fine IMHO. The fact that GA went blue in a major election and now suddenly local GOP passes laws saying no one can get water on line is just sore loser bullshit.
Let's get to the practical reality... after the legislature recently changes the voting laws in Georgia and Texas in terms of mail-in requirements, early voting days, only.and other requirements to rules that are still less strict than the laws in New York and Delaware -- advocates are driving these companies and sport leagues to make a fuss in Georgia and Texas. Absurd. Why isn't MLB and these companies demanding that New York and Delaware change their laws. All of this gets back to (IMO) that there should be a national standard for early voting days, voting rules, mail-in voting, voter id, and other voting regulations that are applied to every state with no variation between states.
yeah highlight the real rules that people are objecting to.... Georgia declared that handing out water or food to people waiting in line for 3 hours is like an attakc on voter integrity. THAT IS WHY people are upset...because the small dicked GOP got so upset they lost the state they want to attack the people who voted against them. has nothing to do with early voting days or mail in requirements.
There are endless news reports about long voting lines in New York for the 2020 General Election -- both in early voting and on election day in New York. Generally the lines in New York were worse than anything experienced in Georgia. "For the first time in 2020, all New York voters had three options to cast a ballot: Early voting, traditional Election Day voting and, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, absentee voting." New York only started early voting in 2019. Georgia and Texas have had early voting for many years. New York only allows nine early voting days. Georgia will have 17 early voting days -- even after the new legislation.

BTW... handing out food or water to voters in line is illegal in New York as well. The Federal Election Commission bans any kind of rewards — no matter how nonpartisan — for voting when federal candidates are on the ballot. Several restaurants in NY got in trouble over the years for either handing out food in line or offering free food to people who voted. Admittedly New York did not appear to enforce this law against handing out free food to voters for the 2020 election - rules which are on both their books and inscribed in federal law.
