Cancelled my MLB subscription. That is about all I can do.

I guess they should only schedule all-star games in blue states now.

Maybe move it to Minnesota and hope the stadium doesn't burn down after the George Floyd officer's trial.

Honestly I'm surprised they did not just keep it in LA going into the season because last year's got canceled

It would have made sense to just push the future sites back one year

I assume MLB will no longer require ID at will call windows now, right?

Interesting I think the most logical move would be Arlington. They did it for the World Series last year so I feel like it would make sense

As I said earlier Texas is looking at similar legislation. MLB would get roasted if they did this.

MLB's press release doesn't even state what the bill actually does that they oppose because that would actual require getting into the facts.

MLB simply demonstrated its core value is to join democratic smear campaigns.

They are already getting roasted

So what are they going to do if/when Atlanta makes the playoffs and has home games?

Is the SEC going to get pressured into moving the SEC championship game?

What about the Peach Bowl?

This is corporate blackmail.

And this action was initiated at the request of the MLB Players Union elected by our local "heroes" Bergman, Altuve, Correa, Uncle Mike, McCullers, etc.

This isn't some generic Manfred action. The players led this.

If they didn't want this, they could throw out their elected leadership.

The players, including the Astros are all right leaning

Definitely Bregman and probably not Brantley
But the Spanish guys are not liberals guys, of course they can't vote so they don't care about this

This action was taken in their name by their agent, the MLBPA. They aren't an innocent bystander. They are the initiator of the action.

I'll await the statement from the Astros player rep demanding this be reversed and the MLBPA is off course, out of control, and no longer representing them.

Very disappointed with MLB. Looks like they want to join the rest of sports leagues in alienating conservative fans.

It's a bold strategy Cotton

What a body blow for the state of Georgia! Now they can only watch on TV as some guy you've never heard of from the Diamondbacks gets a hit off some guy you've never heard of from the Tigers to win the All-Star game in the bottom of the 12th inning at 12:33 a.m. with 15 people still watching it on TV.

Think of all the lost jobs and income in the Atlanta area from the all star game being taken away.

Shame.

I know right? MLB hates black people taking away their all star game like that (Atlanta is 51% black).

This positive move by Major League Baseball will result in fewer eyeballs on an already sparsely viewed broadcast.

Yep, he probably has no idea what they're even taking a stand against - because I don't think MLB does either.

OK I'll say it...WGAF where the AS game is?!?!

I don't agree with the reasons but hey it's their right to move it move it wherever they want.

I'll may or may not watch. It still won't mean shlt. Same as every other year. Won't change anything on my end.

Guess I just don't understand the outrage.

Same. Our guys are gonna have a hard enough time getting voted in anyways so it won't matter much for the Astros

The outrage has nothing to do with baseball

It has to do with the fact that half this country is being attacked on a daily basis

I don't want this thread to go the Forum 16 route.

Guess I just don't get the outrage. WGAF?
