Whoops: MLB Moving All Star Game To 9% Black Denver From 51% Black Atlanta

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Good job, Wokesters! You freaked out over a voting law you didn’t read and listened to idiots fearmongering and telling you lies about the new law. Now all the black business owners and workers are out somewhere between $38 million and $190 million in revenue from the game

‘Woke’ MLB moving All-Star Game from 51% Black Atlanta to 76% White Denver, critics note

Opponents of MLB’s decision Monday to move the 2021 All-Star Game to Denver because of Georgia’s new voting law suggest the move could end up hurting Atlanta’s Black residents rather than helping them.

They note the move will deal an economic blow to Atlanta, which is 51% Black, and provide a boost to Colorado’s capital, which is only 9% Black, according to U.S. Census figures.

The “Midsummer Classic” was set for July 13 at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, until the Major League Baseball decided Friday to change its location — a decision that was cheered by several large corporations. On Monday, MLB announced the game will now be played at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies.

According to 2019 U.S. Census data, Atlanta is 51% Black and 40.9% White, while Denver is 9.2% Black and 76% White. (snip)

Nearly 30% of businesses in Atlanta are Black-owned, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Great job there, moonbats, great job. Your unhinged Wokeism Outrage based on lies hurt blacks. Why aren’t they calling for moving the Atlanta Braves out of Georgia if they’re so worried? And the Falcons?

Oh, and there’s something else interesting about this

(Breitbart) MLB removed the All-Star Game from Atlanta after Georgia passed a series of voter reforms aimed at safeguarding the integrity of their elections. MLB and other corporations claimed that the new law acted as a “voter suppression” measure by shortening early voting periods and requiring ID.

Putting the falseness of those claims aside, for a moment, one would think that if MLB were so appalled by those measures, they would move their All-Star game to a place that fewer voting restrictions, not more.

However, that is not the case.

Not only does the state of Colorado require proof of identification when casting a ballot to vote, but it also has fewer early voting days than Georgia.

Oops? An ID card in Georgia costs $32, good for 8 years. It’s $12.67 in Colorado, good for 5 years (free if over 60). You can get a free ID strictly for voting in Georgia, though. Private entities really need to read the freaking laws and such before going Woke and driving away their patrons.

      If Georgia wouldn’t have passed laws to suppress the vote they would still have the All-Star game. Thinking people don’t want voting surpressed. This cost Atlanta and Georgia over $100,000,000. Being an asshole costs big money nowadays. :cool:
