And since they are limiting the number of fans anyway, they probably won't have any trouble filling all the available seats. But perhaps not watching on TV will hurt the advertising revenue. But I haven't watched any pro sports for years anyway, so again, my absence won't be noticed.
But it will be interesting to watch the results of their pulling the All-Star game out of Georgia because of their political bias.

How is anyone punished by making sure people voting are eligible?
Post by: Little Joe on April 03, 2021, 09:58:52 AM
"apparently punish"Think of all the poor Democrats that may not be able to vote (multiple times) any more and have to suffer the consequences of losing an election.

Eff all Pro Sports now with their Woke, anti American agenda. I can't even watch college as they're almost as bad. Sports used to be unifying where people of vastly different backgrounds could come together and share their love of the game. NO MORE. The Left has destroyed that too.
What has the Left built, ever?

There are 6 cities being considered
Milwaukee
Los Angeles
Arlington, TX
San Juan, PR
Chicago (Wrigley)
New York / Yankee Stadium
We can write off Milwaukee, Arlington, San Juan and Chicago right away for various reasons. Wisconsin and Texas are racist because both hava a voter ID law. PR cannot be considered and Wrigley is too small to make money.
NY is in the middle of another covid meltdown.

I long for the day when politicians are honest.Unfortunately, I believe, that day will never be seen again. With the media almost entirely in control of the leftists at this point and Democrats controlling everything and trying to get their "steal the vote forever" bill passed it is all but over. Normal now is to write about the narrative and after it has been pounded into the public for a week or so you issue a correction or apology knowing it will not change things.

I think you can stick a fork in it at this point. With corporations and all major league sports on board, it will be hard to stop.

BTW, it is NOT voter ID. Georgia passed their voter ID law in 2005, ga code 21-2-417.1. That law was challenged and affirmed in 2008 with the court saying that the burden to the individual is outweighed by legitimate state interests in securing elections.
There is zero burden in the individual to have a photo ID. You need one to see your doctor these days. Even my 94 year old mother who doesn’t drive needs and has a state issued ID card. There is absolutely no reason to oppose voter ID except you want to cheat.
Post by: Lucifer on April 04, 2021, 08:00:38 AM
And in the voter ID debates it’s been proposed to issue no cost voter ID as a solution. Again, zero excuses.
Post by: jb1842 on April 04, 2021, 10:03:35 AM
Add to that a lot of states will issue a free ID on request.

I can see where Biden could have called the MLB commissioner to ask him if he liked his anti-trust exemption.
Post by: Anthony on April 04, 2021, 06:42:03 PM
I wonder who is really behind all of this, between MLB and all of the corporate CEOs coming out against the Georgia Law. I think we'd be sadly mistaken if we believe they all just decided this was the thing to do. Remember how Democrats hated corporations, something has changed that.
I can see where Biden could have called the MLB commissioner to ask him if he liked his anti-trust exemption.
Corporations, once hated as being evil and greedy capitalists by these Marxists, have now seen the handwriting on the wall and have been coerced by government, tech and social media to be woke China style capitalists. That is why they are collectively investing TRILLIONS in Electric Vehicles for 3% of the current Market. Also, many are run by brainwashed dolts that have come up through Leftist Education, MEDIA and Entertainment.

Since these poor, unfortunate, poverty ridden, over weight, Nike wearing, iPhone carrying, all need ID to get welfare, cash a check, open a bank account, enter a government building and a myriad of other things, the left (as always) showcases their ignorance and hypocrisy on this one.

Our Governor has shown a true lack of leadership and decorum in this. Instead of starting a media war he should have asked for a private meeting with the MLB commissioner. Same with the Delta andCoke CEOs.
Your stand in Governor Kemp (Stacy Abrams is the functioning governor) is grasping at straws trying to save his ass in the next election. He's toast, and he knows it. He's found out what a bunch of backstabbing conniving snakes inhabits the GOP.
Primary his sorry ass out of there.

Ironic isn't it? But, the Communists are in control of the Colorado Front Range (I-25 corridor, including Denver Metro) and it is now a solidly Democrat stae because of it. Most of the rest of the State hates this Woke, PC, SJW shit.
