Bye assholes see if 13 percent will fill the stands idiots

It's not restrictive

That's one the ways!

MLB doesn't know shit about the law that every citizen is embracing...

Incorrect adjective. They are not 'restrictive'. Lame news.

Why stop at the All-Star Game? The level of racism throughout the country is worst than any law passed in Georgia. Thus, using your logic, let's not have any games until white supremacy/racism is dealt with. You've done nothing until you deal with the real problem. ADOS

F MBL for now on. CNBC is far behind with their Liar Andrew was born a liar

And will pay dearly for that move.

This thread is hysterically low-rent. Keep it up!

Disgrace

Fine and I’ve stopped watch CNBC.

The Dutch state, mainstream media, and various crypto actors have been torturing me for 3 years now. On YouTube, Twitter, Gang Stalking, Police Stalking. And now they have taken me hostage. I am severely traumatized and I want these criminals to go to jail.

Killing two birds with one stone.

The MLB has come a long way. Remember when they didn’t let black folks play? Huh? Why aren’t they canceled like uncle Ben, dr Seuss, and that chick from the bachelor?

People keep calling it restrictive! A lot of mis interpretations.

But vaccine passports are ok

Oh know, how will we ever recoup the loss from not being able to see the All-star game? 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼

Don’t bring it to Colorado, I’ve always had to show an id to vote

Thisnis the lowest America has been in 50 plus years. So embarassing

Good bye and good riddance.

Excellent. More of this please...

CNBC why don’t y’all pull y’all’s channel out of Georgia too since you all don’t like it either

Have to have an ID to get a library card, board a plane, buy cigarettes, alcohol... but when it comes to elections anything goes. GTFO

Tim to remove antitrust protection and make this league pay back all the tax breaks for stadiums

Ridiculous. This is a very slippery slope to something none of us want.

I wonder if Las Vegas is giving odds on how bad the ratings will be🤔

Still waiting on the evidence of mass voter fraud.......

What a joke

Strip MLB of antitrust exemption status for taking political stance on Georgia voting law.

MLB making moves...upsetting tens of people.

Strip MLB of antitrust exemption status for taking political stance on Georgia voting law.

But you need an ID to drink at a MLB game or to pick up tickets at will call? Give me a fucking break! What a joke.

MLB is such an embarrassment

fuckrepublicans

Don't go backwards Atlanta. Remember what you did to the country that Sherman burnt your city.

They are working on promoting MLB in China; what about their voting laws?

But they allow vaccine passports instead?

Bitcoin The risks others are taking that you are not taking, is what puts them ahead of you. This is one of the secrets of the RICH, listen whenever I tell these secrets to you Send a DM let’s get started 👇👇👇 MarkalexanderFX

MLB owes an apology to the state of Georgia for the misinformation what a disgrace

Love it.

I’m actually thinking of visiting and spending my money in Georgia. Hopefully more states get on board. No Govt issued ID no vote.

MSM truly beleives minorities are too dumb and irresponsible to have Identification! This is how the Left views minorities! Its an insult to all minorities! PATHETIC attempt to enable voter fraud! The kettle of America is about to boil over atop the flames of mainstream media!

Aside from breathing what doesn’t require an ID?

It’s not restrictive.

Cowards

Sports playing politics again........

Whatever. Baseball believe it fraud voting. Integrity of voting is imperative. Period.

Nope, it due to the mlb's factless political statement, Georgia had nothing to do with it

Boycott THE ALLSTAR GAME!!!

So shameful

I hate when sports gets mixed into politics. Now we're going to have more hate in America.

Oh well, no one care about MLB All Star game anyway. Hopefully the far left wack jobs don’t succeed at getting the Masters canceled.

That’s ridiculous...not watching baseball this year

john_kro Their voting laws are not restrictive.

CNBC and Major League Baseball are BULLIES!!!

staceyabrams wrote an op-ed saying not to do this because of the businesses and the community these actions hurt. mlb your doing more harm than good. Unless POTUS said to do this, your devastating the communities you intend to help CNN ABC CBSNews

Nonsense. I guess I'll have more free time this summer.

Conservatives boycotting MLB incoming 🤣

MAJOR LEAGE BASEBALL, will not let you into their stadiums with a backpack, yet they object to Georgia asking for an ID to vote............... Put politics into your sport, I am done with your sport....

Screw baseball make America great again. Everthing does not have to be political. I just don’t understand. So many lies being spread about new laws in Georgia. Shameful

Good for MLB I also am boycotting Georgia.

Absolutely sickening. This manipulative behavior by Biden and his media buddies at CNBC amounts to the same garbage the Liberals were whining about when Trump was President. Biden and media fact checkers were supposed to fix the issue, not repeat it.

Ok. Buh- bye baseball. You did it to yourselves.

Pretty sure you need to present an ID, empty all your pockets, and go through a metal detector to enter the All Star Game. Fucking racists 🤪

Another sports organization sidelining half the country.

CNBC becoming CNN...when Shepard Smith disagrees, all of a sudden, he's short on time...how about the news and not your biased liberal opinion...

“Restrictive” = making sure 1 person can’t vote 400 times.

If you live in Georgia, just go vote 100 times next election, like you’re voting for American Idol or something. No one really seems to care. Maybe I’ll fly in from Canada and throw a couple votes in myself- I’ve got a YMCA card with my name on it 😂😂wokeAmericaisweird

Terrible decision...hope their ratings plummet

'Restrict' or ensure actual, living, breathing citizens that have ID's, and pay taxes, are the votes that get counted?......and counted once?

This will be the biggest boycott in US History! We will not tolerate this cancel culture because we believe in secure elections! We will all now boycott MLB! BoycottMLB

Even if it is, I refuse to bend to any corporation over any cause. I elected politicians not corporations. This is the line and I will not be lectured by any profit driven organization.

They will pay a heavy price and so will your brand when this gets into the court. This is going to get interesting when all the facts come out and the public finally learns what exactly is in this bill vs the propaganda you were spewing on your channel this week.

boycottMLB

Can we stop being so political and have a baseball game

Time to boycott all professional sports .

BoycottMLB

They should pull out of China for their concentration camps, but no.....

khpdlane Been calling for more boycott action against deep red states. No vacations, no spending in red states. This action by MLB on an emerging blue state will hurt, but it's a pain we must endure.

I couldn’t care less where the all star game was but this political theatre has to be at the tipping point. MLB read the room wrong.

Go ahead and act like fools MLB. Baseball is not my favorite sport so tuning you out won’t be that hard. Go ahead and piss off half the country and turn MLB as minor league sport.

time to boycott MLB

If MLB will pull out of GA because of voting laws, and Biden supports this, why are US athletes going to CHINA which is one of the worst countries on earth for human rights?

I call on all Americans to boycott MLB the Atlanta Braves &the All Star game immediately. DO NOT purchase any MLB merchandise, subscribe to any MLB offerings or purchase any game tickets. MLB encouraged players to use steroids when ratings were in the basement - who r they kiddin

boycottMLB

I guess people forgot that there are restrictions to who is eligible to vote.

Same assholes support Nike using slave labor in communist china. Anyone who boycotts Georgia can go to hell.

I though news organizations were supposed to be unbiased? So shouldn't you say 'due to Goergia's new voting law'? Who says it is restrictive?

Been boycotting MLB since last year. Good riddance.

If I am required to show my ID to use my county government dump, then I sure as horse dung should be required to show my ID to vote.

Good

Watch this:

Just another sport working very hard to kill of their fan base. We all have now leaned with Covid that we can live a fun life without these a-- holes. They can go to hell I am going to Texas.

The government should revoke Baseball's anti-trust exemption if it wants to be a politcal actor, which is within its rights. They have no right to the exemption though -- especially given the money involved in sports these days.

So I guess MLB disagrees with showing an ID to vote?

never never will i support mlb products again. bye bye

What a joke, screw MLB

Since when did MLB run the State of Georgia

MLB getting into politics....then they wonder why viewership is plummetting.........

Not watching one game this year.

They should pull all the merchandise from every communist country too, else this is all BS virtue signaling

Democrats need a way to cheat , that's how low they go . Joe Biden 80 million votes , sure 🙄 Next stop the swamp of communism .

America is quickly becoming a technocracy with stunts like this. I don’t even know what the law is but asking for id is not restrictive I heard u can’t hand out water in line which I disagree with though

Good. Hopefully more to come. Georgia, known as the 'Anus of America' doesn't warrant such a event anyway.

Sad....

And by restrictive voting law we really mean just requiring a fucking ID to vote by mail

How is it restricting?

What a JOKE!

JacquisBackup YES!!!!

BoycottMLB

Bring it to Baltimore, baby!
