Major League Baseball responded to calls to boycott the state of Georgia over a controversial new voter-ID law by moving the All-Star game out of the Peach State. But teams still requires fans to show photo ID to pick up their tickets from the Will Call booth. South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace called the league out on Twitter. (Tweet) Georgia’s new law comes after Democrats swept both Senate races in runoff votes and President Biden edged out former President Trump on Election Day.The Georgia election reform bill expands the number of early voting days, allows the observation of ballot counting, prohibits ballot harvesting

Will they ask for ID if I buy beer in the ballpark?

I usually don't believe in boycotts but I'm going to make an exception this time. The "woke" MLB has decided that it's okay to allow certain segments of our society to commit voter fraud. Can someone tell me exactly what they mean when they say asking someone for an ID to vote will cause minority disenfranchisement or voter suppression? The Georgia legislature has shown common sense and courage by mandating that people must present an ID to prove who they are before being allowed to participate in one of our most sacred rights, voting. What exactly is wrong with that? I have to show an ID to get on an airplane Delta. I have to show ID to purchase a rum and Coke at a bar. So please tell me why shouldn't I have to show and ID to vote. The MLB's decision to move the All Star game from Atlanta to prove their "wokeness" is a sickening and I for one plan on never attending another MLB game, or purchasing products of companies that sponsor MLB. Let's support these companies get "woke" by helping them go broke!

They also won't allow you to bring water into the stadium.

MLB has no problem partnering with communist regimes like Venezuela and China, but a U.S. state wanting greater voter integrity is a Bridge too far.

MLB is going to find out that they made a big mistake by stepping into partisan politics and surrendering to Biden and the leftist Democrats.

And just to sit on a seat in Delta's plane you need to be searched, photo ID and metal detector.

Is self-consistency really so hard?
My writing off the NFL and NBA were meaningless, since I never spent a dime on their product. But MLB had gotten some revenue from me. And this makes that past tense. Not another dime until they get out of politics.
They used to be "America's Pastime" -- now they're past their time. Adios, Comrades.

#5 makes a good point about the water. Just try carrying water onto a plane. Not only do you have to have a photo ID to get on a plane, it has have a star that shows you produced a birth certificate or additional proof of id to get the driver's license, etc.

Did everyone involved in MLB have to show a photo ID to get their covid vaccines?
By their logic, the government is preventing black people from getting vaccinated. Isn’t that the ultimate in racism?

This MLB action boils down to the fact that the MLB is in favor of fraudulent national elections. Same goes for Delta and Coca-Cola. Think about that the next time you put $1.25 into the soda machine.

The Georgia legislature now seems to be 'woke.' Where were they in 2021 or earlier when they were passing all those laws that would allow voter fraud? Has anyone checked their bank accounts? Also, some airlines are carrying the illegals from Texas to cities and towns across the country. Are they having to have the driver's license with the star to get on the plane? So much hypocrisy.

There are so many things for which you must produce a photo ID, such as, cash a check, see a doctor, get on a plane. Claiming that this is racist is absurd! The only thing requiring a photo ID to vote does is make it harder to cast fraudulent votes.

Wokness is close to brokness. I've a feeling that this is going to cost the sports world a lot more than they bargained for. The way that liberals treat minorities and/or people of color is the most racist thing that I have seen in my lifetime. Stop treating anyone like they are children. People of any race can think for themselves and can figure out what they need in life, they don't need some kalifornia or new york liberal telling them how to live. Enough.

Corporations and sports are kowtowing to the Democrats and doing their bidding for some reason. Does it have something to do with Chinese markets? If they do the Democrats’ bidding, they get no hassles in developing their Chinese market? This is the only reason I can think of. In the meantime, stupid Americans who have fallen for the Democrats agenda don’t realize these woke corporations will move offshore in a second to avoid the tax increase. Our country is dying here.

What is real hypocrisy is Delta and American hired security the TSA and private security at the international rerminal gates asking for your I.D. (new gold star drivers license or passports) multiple times to assure the safety and integrity of air travel. But Georgia and Texas follow suit and we find the airlines have been infringing on our rights all this time?

We all know the Georgia law isn't racist or Jim Crow. It's common sense. The leftists lie about everything.

MLB exists for the sole purpose of playing a game to entertain their fans. Nothing else, just this. Delta Airlines exist to safely provide air transportation to people that need to go somewhere. Nothing else.
Do your jobs and shut your pie holes. Alienating 50% of your customer base is not good for business. I for one will miss baseball and will NEVER under any circumstance fly Delta. I discovered a couple years ago that It only takes about an hour more to drive from North East Ohio to Jacksonville and costs a hell of a lot less. Besides, my car seats are mor comfortable and I can stop and stretch my legs or eat whenever I want. See ya!

Everyone knows that blacks are not fans of MLB. That young black kids do not play baseball. That the black players on the field are largely foreign imports who don't vote in American elections. The reported percentage of native American black players is less than 8 percent of the MLB rosters. Latinos are nearly 30 percent. I'm not quite sure who MLB thinks is impressed by its "wokeness".

Voter Fraud it illegal. Eliminating voter fraud is commendable.
In the terms of on Umpire making a bad call-- "WE was robbed!"
Time to do without Coca-Cola branded sugar water, quit flying Delta, and they others who want to make CHEATING in elections legal.
I can follow my team without giving the advertisers ratings and maybe there will be some ripple effect-- drinking, water, milk, tea, or lemonade and giving up Coke products is possible--
I once DID keep a New Year's resolution to give up Cokes for a year, so it is VERY possible to do!

This is perfect as the model of liberal hypocrisy. I would no more go to see a Major League baseball game than I would go to see liberal political rally. I once was a fan of the Cleveland Indians, but if you cannot muster the required amount of courage to honor your own traditions, then you need not expect people to honor them. I feel the same way about the Washington Red Skins NFL team, the Atlanta Braves, and any other sports organization.

One would think that after taking a financial beating due to Covid, MLB and the individual team owners would be smarter than this.

The tone deaf MLB stuck their foot in it. They fell for the lies, never verified the contents of the law, and now they’re stuck with it. 72% of the population support voter ID laws. The other 28% probably do not watch professional sports. Way to run a business.

These people are total hypocrites who support voter fraud over voter integrity. But then again they're democrats who are nothing more than brain dead zombies. They are pure scum who eat their own. Their own rules prove what kind of hypocrites they are.
