Major League Baseball announced it would turn its back on Georgia in a press release issued Friday, ripping away the 2021 All-Star Game from Turner Field in Atlanta. The sports league is citing a gripe with election integrity legislation signed into law last month.
While the law merely standardizes Georgia’s election procedures in a manner that models them on other US states, critics of integrity measures in US elections have claimed they represent an attack on the right to vote.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made the call to steal away the All-Star game. In addition to relocating the game, the 2021 MLB Draft will be moved, as well.
Baseball had briefly hesitated to sign off on the corporate leftist agenda wholly embraced by the NBA, NFL and other multinational ‘American’ corporations, but the attack on Georgia’s independence represents no less than the submission of the sport to a coastal cultural liberal agenda.
The MLB follows Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola in using a corporate platform to attack the state of Georgia. The baseball league is the first to move an element of its business away from the state in a political pressure move, with left-wing activists now dependent on using corporate power to subvert Georgia’s legislative process.
It’s time for conservatives to turn off the sports, and to focus on strengthening their own bodies instead, as opposed to overpaid multimillionaire leftist athletes.
