lol They can move it wherever they want, but I can't wait to see how folks in Atlanta will get a flight there, or anywhere else of consequence for that matter, when they realize DAL owns nearly 80% of the passenger traffic through Hartsfield. But at least gasoline is the highest its been in like 4 years. "We'll show them....".
they can all talk about how it will be harder for them to vote. And in a giant group, it will be easy for a police officers to call it a riot and beat them with batons.
In the wake of last summer’s social justice protests, which consumed sports for much of the second half of 2020, nearly half of all Americans changed their sports viewing habits, according to a new YouGov / Yahoo News poll. As athletes and leagues embraced a new, progressive strategy aimed at amplifying messages of social justice and political advocacy, some Americans began watching more sports, but about three times as many watched less. Of those who watch sports on TV, about 11 percent said they now watch more as a result of political and social messaging. However, 34.5 percent, more than one-third, said they are watching less. The vast majority, roughly 56.3 percent, said they watch about the same amount regardless of political or social messaging. Ratings across all major sports were down in 2020 Nearly half of American sports fans changed viewing habits because of social justice (yahoo.com)
Keep in mind that baseball is a national pastime for most conservatives... Trump is calling for a MLB boycott after the league said it would move its All-Star game out of Georgia. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-calls-for-mlb-boycott-moves-all-star-game-atlanta-2021-4
Georgia Gov. Kemp rips MLB for boycott 'hypocrisy': Why is their HQ in 'stricter' New York? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ge...ypocrisy-why-is-their-hq-in-stricter-new-york Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp blasted Major League Baseball after its commissioner, Rob Manfred Jr., pulled the All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to the state's passage of a voting rights law on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." Georgia's Republican majority passed a law this week which President Biden notably called "Jim Crow on steroids", that prohibits electioneering within several dozen feet of a poll, requires identification to register for an absentee ballot and expands weekend early voting. "I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game," Manfred said Friday. Kemp fired back at Manfred's decision, pointing out that MLB is based in New York -- a state he said still has "stricter" voting laws than Georgia. "It's so hypocritical... Major League Baseball's headquartered in New York, Delta [Airlines] is flying in New York. I'm sure Coca-Cola sells a lot of product in New York. When you look at New York's voting laws, you have to have an excuse to vote absentee by-mail in New York. You do not in Georgia," Kemp said. Coke and Delta are two major Atlanta companies whose executives have ripped Kemp for signing the bill. Kemp said Georgia has 17 days of in-person early voting, while New York has 10. "I guess we should be boycotting [MLB] for having their headquarters in New York because that law is more strict than ours," he said. "I mean, this is all ridiculous." Host Tucker Carlson added that, in Biden's case, his home state of Delaware also has preexisting stricter voting laws than the one passed in Georgia this week. "One thing Biden doesn't seem very interested in is his own home state, Delaware. Unlike Georgia, Delaware has never permitted mass early voting," Carlson said. "Apparently Delaware is a white supremacist state," he continued, referencing the basis of Jim Crow. Carlson went on to suggest that part of the reason Biden and the Democrats are ignoring Delaware's laws are because the First State has been a reliably blue state. Delaware's last gubernatorial or congressional GOP officeholder was Rep. Mike Castle, who left office in 2011.

"Like many Georgians, I am disappointed that the MLB is relocating the All-Star game; however, I commend the players, owners and the League commissioner for speaking out," Abrams wrote. "As I have stated, I respect boycotts, although I don't want to see Georgia families hurt by lost events and jobs," she continued.
