“Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views. I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.
“Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States. We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process.
“We will continue with our plans to celebrate the memory of Hank Aaron during this season’s All-Star festivities. In addition, MLB’s planned investments to support local communities in Atlanta as part of our All-Star Legacy Projects will move forward. We are finalizing a new host city and details about these events will be announced shortly.”
Well done.
Another sport to no longer watch. Cheers.
I guess sportsnet was getting a lot of nasty comments. Commenting has been turned off
Just don't reward Florida with the game. DeathSantis doesn't need more rewards.
Is the assumption that minorities are not knowledgeable in obtaining Government Issued ID?
Sick of all the PC Virtue Signaling in Sports! No one cares about any All Star game in any of the sports! MLB NBA NFL & NHL
MLB if you need photo ID to board a plane, cross a border, drive a car, open a bank account, cash a cheque, why shouldn’t you need one to vote? What am I missing?
Good.
Good
