Georgia County That Voted For Biden To Lose $100+ Million Over MLB Relocating Game After Biden Remarks: Report

The Georgia county that was set to host the 2020 Major League Baseball All-Star Game said over the weekend that it will lose more than $100 million after the league pulled the game and draft out of the state — a decision that comes after Democrats made a number of false claims about the state’s new election law and signaled they would support the league boycotting the state.

Holly Quinlan, president and CEO of Cobb Travel and Tourism, said that the “estimated lost economic impact” for the county was more than $100 million.

“This event would have directly impacted our county and the state, as visitors spend their dollars on local accommodations, transportation, entertainment and recreation, food and retail throughout the county,” Cobb County Travel and Tourism said. “This would have been a big boost to Cobb businesses and help with recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The Atlanta Braves released a statement following the league’s announcement, saying that they did not support the decision and that they were “saddened that fans will not be able to see this event in our city.”

“Unfortunately, businesses, employees, and fans in Georgia are the victims of this decision,” the team added.

Democrat President Joe Biden and far-left activist Stacy Abrams were widely blamed for the league’s decision to pull out of the state because they promoted a number false and misleading claims about the state’s new voting law. An ESPN reporter said that sources inside the league indicated that the league’s decision was the result of “corporate sponsor pressure” and had nothing to do with players threatening to boycott.

“Today, @MLB caved to fear, political opportunism, and liberal lies,” Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said in a statement. “Georgians – and all Americans – should fully understand what the MLB’s knee-jerk decision means: cancel culture and woke political activists are coming for every aspect of your life, sports included. If the left doesn’t agree with you, facts and the truth do not matter.”

“This attack on our state is the direct result of repeated lies from Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams about a bill that expands access to the ballot box and ensures the integrity of our elections,” Kemp continued. “I will not back down. Georgians will not be bullied. We will continue to stand up for secure, accessible, fair elections. Earlier today, I spoke with the leadership of the Atlanta Braves who informed me they do not support the MLB’s decision.”

Former President Donald Trump repeatedly called for boycotts against MLB following their decision to pull out of the state. “For years the Radical Left Democrats have played dirty by boycotting products when anything from that company is done or stated in any way that offends them,” Trump said in a statement. “It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back—we have more people than they do—by far!”

“Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck,” Trump added. “Don’t go back to their products until they relent. We can play the game better than them.”

MLB Moves All Star Game To Colorado, Which Has Voter ID Laws, Significantly Less Diverse Than Georgia

Major League Baseball has reportedly made the decision to host the 2021 All Star Game in Colorado after caving to pressure from the political Left to boycott Georgia after Georgia passed a new election security law, which included having to include a driver’s license number when voting by mail.

“Coors Field in Denver has been chosen to host this year’s All-Star Game,” ESPN reported. “It will mark the second time the homer-friendly home of the Colorado Rockies will host the Midsummer Classic. The American League beat the National League 13-8 at Coors in 1998.”

However, reporters quickly noted that Colorado already has voter ID laws and that the the league was moving to a less diverse area.

“Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box,” MLB Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr. said in a statement last week. “Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support.”

The Colorado Secretary of State’s website states:

All voters who vote at the polls must provide identification. If you are voting by mail for the first time, you may also need to provide a photocopy of your identification when you return your mail ballot.

Many were also quick to point out that both the city and state where the game is being moved to, Denver, Colorado, are both significantly less racially diverse than Atlanta, Georgia.

Colorado is 86.9% white and 4.6% black.
Georgia is 60.2% white and 32.6% black.
Denver is 76.1% white and 9.2% black.
Atlanta is 40.9% white and 51% black.

The county where the game was going to be held in Georgia stated that it was going to lose more than $100 million from the league deciding to pull out of the area. MLB’s decision to pull out of Atlanta came after Democrat President Joe Biden said during an interview last week that he would “strongly support” the decision to pull out of Atlanta.

Frank I know being called a girl isn’t negative but to these pansies it is. I’m just speaking their language.

Something like than. Is morons mo bettah?

Reagan is a RINO according to today’s republicans.

Unlike you, TW is good people.

I thought libertarians accepted all people and their rights to self determination...
you sure have a hate list going.

Well he had to find something going for him.

The next 4 years should be really “interesting”. From one extreme to another.

It’s ironic though, the state that gave Dems the Senate and helped solidify the Presidency got shafted by the person who benefited most. Like syphilis, the disease keeps spreading.

what exactly did you think I wrote?
I was pointing out how many types of individuals you disparage that have nothing to do with political beliefs.

And to get past the spin just use logic. Do you really think the republicans are trying to expand the vote so more black people can vote? They are trying to cede power? Human nature is human nature. And if blacks get proportional power will they be fair? It’s the game. People tend to pretend otherwise. It is what it is.

not so...the PA State Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court ruled the law was Constitutional...

TB12's rookie football card just went for more than 2 million

so the courts have not ruled them "illegal votes" yet?

then why are some people calling them illegal votes?



My reading was that the law was in place for the mid-year elections also...why not challenge the law back then?

Sorry. Just silly.

I'm a discriminating discriminator. You got a problem with that?
Who have I disparaged that hasn't injected their statist politics?

Interesting sentence.
I'm not a Georgia historian. How have their politics weighed heavily towards whites?
And what do you mean by "worried" about black businesses?
Worried they will fail, or worried they could excel?

I've got a couple friends that live in GA. One is white, the other is black. Both fairly liberal. I'm sure they'd agree with you in principle (republicans running the state are therefore bad), but I've yet to get anything specific from them regarding this new bill.

I'm not saying if it's a good bill or a bad bill.
If it's racist, then I'll applaud MLB for pulling out.
But so far I've only "heard" it was racist. Because the liberals said so.

When Trump said the election was stolen, the media felt compelled to add "unsubstantiated" each time they reported it.

Why don't they do the same now? Biden said the GA voter law is racist.
So far that is entirely unsubstantiated.

It tempts one to suggest people are hypocrites. Or liars Or worse.
The bill is 98 pages. Very doable if one were so inclined. But it's obvious that those with a fervor to condemn it have read only as much as I.

Seems that the "new normal" is to claim something as truth and then feel justified with media conformity in place of actual proof.

What exactly did they "get right"???

There is no ban on the all star game. MLB simply decided.

This is plain stupid.

There is no ban.

Right. ATL isn't getting the All-Star game. Weird.

He prolly should have worn a mask to block that Dunning Kruger fella.

There is no ban. mLB decided not to. It’s really not hard. Come on man just get it.

Celtic we all have limitations.
