Baseball Moves AS Game due to Partisan Propaganda Topic

Hey buddy, the guy you cited is an opinion radio guy. What a ******* hypocrite.

Pull the AS game (and 10s of millions of revenue that come with it) from a city with a majority black population and roughly 40% white. Move it to a city that is nearly 70% white and 10% black.

YAY!! What a win for the BIPOC!

Nice OPINION piece. Lots of speculation and 'could bes", but very few FACTS.
Simply seeing the writer's TITLE (TOM KRATTENMAKER | OPINION COLUMNIST | 6:01 am EDT April 3, 2021 ) says it all. Verifies where you get most of your "NEWS" from.
But hey, I did finally click one of your links.
Those could bes are based on the bad bill. Which is why it’s a bad bill.

Wow! It's almost like the goal of the MLB is to make money, not help black people! What a shock!

Requiring ID to vote is NOT bad. (WTH doesn't have an ID these days - see earlier list.)
Restricting Parties from handing-out food or water to voters is NOT bad.
Adding an extra early day to vote is NOT bad.
Not mailing absentee ballots to all voters is NOT bad.
You're making a blanket statement about the Bill, when I bet if you broke it down, it has as many "good" things as it does "bad" to most people - except maybe extremists like you and others here..

Another example of mob-mentality Liberals not thinking through their actions.
4/7/2021 2:20 PM
well, first of all, they weren't liberals actions, they were MLBs actions. MLB is in business to make money. Not to make you, me or anyone else happy. Anyone who thinks the MLB decision was not money driven is fooling themselves.

Secondly, how is resticting parties from handing out food and water to voters not a bad thing?

How is allowing Parties to hand-out food and/or water to voters in line any different than handing them money? It's buying votes. Polling places should be equipped to have water for those voting (either fountains or bottled), and nobody is going to starve waiting to vote.

What $ do you think MLB was going to lose if it left the ASG in GA? The $ of mob-mentality Liberals, who didn't think things all the way through, right?

Do you think MLB cares where the money comes from? No, they don't. Their decision was money based.
You're right...maybe the political parties should not give out food and water at polling places. I admit I haven't read the exact wording of the bill, just that it makes it illegal to give water to voters waiting online. If it specifies political parties giving out supplies I have no problem with that. If it just sayys it is illegal to give food or water to waiting voters, I do have an issue with that.

You’re not allowed anywhere to campaign in line, political parties were never handing out water or food.

Dude, it allows the state to intervene if they don’t like the result, is this a serious conversation right now?

I mean my god, he’s always up in arms about people being too partisan and biased now and he’s going to the mat to defend a bill that would’ve allowed GA to go for Trump despite the votes. Unreal right now.

Wylie, all3 is flatly lying about the GA bill.

Here's the actual text.

(a) No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any
person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give,
or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and
drink, to an elector
, nor shall any person solicit signatures for any petition, nor shall any
person, other than election officials discharging their duties, establish or set up any tables
or booths on any day in which ballots are being cast
(1) Within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building within which a polling place is established;
(2) Within any polling place; or
(3) Within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place."

It doesn't specify political parties. No person, including election officials, can give out water or food. When wait lines can be hours long in some instances (thanks, Republicans), that's a problem.

Also, all3 is clearly a disingenuous piece of **** who will lie, blatantly, to make a political point., That's twice in this thread alone.

How many times does he have to do the SAME **** before you guys stop giving him opportunities to flap his ignorant yapper? The dude has proven himself to be a disingenuous liar, a religious zealot and a reprehensible bad faith actor. allMOUTH is, as I have said many times before...TRASH.
