Tony Clark, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) executive director, says that he wants the league to discuss pulling the All-Star Game from Georgia now that the state’s election integrity bill has become law.
The 91st MLB All-Star is scheduled for July 13 at SunTrust Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Though, with the new election law enacted, Clark thinks it is time to discuss possibly punishing the Peach State.
“Players are very much aware” of the Georgia voting bill, Clark told the Boston Globe.

Did somebody die and make in the official extortion god? These liberals deserve to be canceled. Repeat after me: FREE COUNTRY... legislated by laws!!! If you don't like those laws, quit trying to murder people, cities and states (like Georgia) - those who threaten, slander and persecute to get their way - deserve a one way ticket to a marxist country, that is their just reward... they'll find comrades there!

Amazing how low life dems think passing a law to try to stop cheating during elections is a bad idea.

Like the players care! 80% of them come from Latin America and can’t, or shouldn’t vote! The game has gotten boring due to its length because of all the commercials, so it’s a waste of four hours of your life. And why are they making this political in the first place? Every time I turn around, some twit is protesting something. Tony Clark can go jump in a lake. I’m really tired of this crap.

MLB can move the all star game to Havana since Communism is the style of government they favor.

The committee that killed major league baseball. It has had no spark and no humor since Ted Williams! That was waaay back when it was a real game, not a gaggle of corporate geese.

I'm confused! You are born...birth certificate. You die...death certificate. Buy a gun...need an ID. Food from the foodbank...proof of residence/utility bill. Credit card...need ID. Passport...birth certficate. But to Democrats...nothing required to vote except a warm body or sometimes a cold body or sometimes just anything will do as in "...you'all give me a ballot, I be ready to vote even though I donts got ID."

What the hell does Baseball have to do with election reform.I guess it's because he's a stupid sand pounding Democrat. MIND YOUR OWN BUSSINESS.

Oh go ahead. The majority of Americans are sick to death of your virtue signaling c***. Nothing says All American baseball like a bunch of overpaid jocks showing us how “woke” they are. Get lost! And good riddance!

Is there a chance that anyone from MLB has read I r even knows what is actually in the bill besides what their Democrat pals told them? Any person with half a brain who had actually looked at the bill would easily see that once again, the Democrats are making things up.

MLB has been comatose for at least a couple decades.
Now it is dead.
RIP

Show some real guts, Tony. Demand the end of any MLB franchise in Red states, the ones that voted Trump in '20 and support hate and insurrection. Give that a whirl. I'm pretty sure that American players opposed to democracy and honest elections can easily defect to Cuba...play professional ball year round for $15 a month, same as sugar cane cutters and doctors make.

Not watching MLB has just become easier.
Go watch a high school game it's much more competitive.

When I go to a baseball game - - I expect the shortstop to be able to make the long throw from the deep hole - - to make a clean pivot on the double play - - and to have woke political views.
That's what has made baseball the American Pastime.

This is very sad.
I say that as one who has had big problems with MLB for many, many years.

I assume SunTrust Park has a contract with MLB to host this event. If MLB tries to pull out, I hope they get sued for millions of dollars!!!

It's just darned depressing, this leftist infiltration into EVERYTHING. They truly do ruin everything they touch, don't they? I've been a MLB fan for 59 years and had so been looking forward to, even needing, this upcoming season. Now I must ponder whether to walk away from yet another love of mine so as not to feed the pirhanas that are calling the shots now. Crap....

Go ahead, do it, MLB. Your league has been dying for several years, and you have a player strike looming when the current CBA expires in about a year. This could put you out of our misery.

I used to love baseball. Now I can't stand it. It is in my household trash bin with the NFL and NBA. Just because some poorly-educated thug makes a ton of money, he thinks I should care about his opinions on the topics of the day. The liberal PC mob will find some way to make apple pie a symbol of oppression and seal the deal.

Wow. So they won't hold games that no one can go to in a state they don't like.
Doesn't sting a bit.
