Like it's a button pressed in a video game. It's not that simple. Also everyone else on this sub. It automatically makes me more of a proponent of voter right. Not that simple. Maybe MLB should just do what the NFL did and write “end racism” on the field somewhere. That changed everything

Take one for the team or don't, but don't pretend nobody is gonna get hurt when harm is intended on every side. If it was my sacrifice to make, for the greater good, I would in a heartbeat. Disenfranchisement is a denial of basic humanity, so whatever it takes to put a stop to that immediately and permanently is probably worth doing. I'm not exactly sure what this dumbass small business owner in Baltimore can realistically do in this situation, but I'm open to ideas because treating humans like they are humans is the whole reason I started this shop.

I know that guy died and HOTLANTA still probably posts or something but, like, honestly I'm betting we could write a HOTLANTA soundboard post generator and not notice. [edit:]dammit BOTLANTA MAN would be an awesome name

I would like to remind everyone that when we are posting about politics it is important to make good posts. Part of making good posts means not proceeding as if other posters are your sworn enemies that you have been mandated by heaven to destroy.

Mangles posted:the white sox brought up a 28 year-old rectangular shaped rookie catcher last night and he became the first player in MLB history to go 5 for 5 in his debut I'm honestly disappointed we didn't get to see him hit a homer last night, during his first at bat the Angels broadcast showed a clip of him playing in another league and he pimps the hell out of them. The booth was having a good time with it and saying how they all enjoy when hitters bat flip and admire home runs which made me happy to hear.

“Keep politics out of baseball” is a hollow sentiment when everyone salutes the flag before the game and the DOD flies jets overhead as a recruitment tactic.

Works great for the problem of having friends.

This is not good for the movement if you live in the south the best thing for all of us and myself. I'm not "set" in my ways if I'm wrong. Time will tell. Look, I'm sure this Robinson fellow is a nice enough guy and he seems like one of the good ones but if we force this upon the rest of the league is that really going to help people in the South? The action here is a direct reaction to the GA legislature deciding to rework the GOP's own voting laws when the opposition had the gall to not just lose in peace. As has been mentioned multiple times, not only has this type of direct action worked in the past thanks to the NCAA, NFL, and NBA taking a stand but it's also the only language capable of making the point these days. If you hold the ASG in unincorporated Cobb Country this year you can make all the speeches you want, hold all the events you want but the people you're trying to speak with will be too busy counting the cash to listen. Sure would be sad if those business owners were forced to call their elected officials to let them know they don't appreciate the blowback from the GOP playing Calvinball with the right to vote. MLB is by no means "woke", but they see which way the wind is blowing. I'm sorry you've been personally inconvenienced by this particular attack on democracy, perhaps you'd support some form of totally neutral literacy test before you take part in your civic duty of boycotting?

Moving the game likely won't do much by itself, but if it can be followed by other corporations bouncing the gently caress out of the state for a while it can get the wheels turning. And yeah, the game literally had to be moved or nothing that MLB bullshits out would mean anything.

https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1378425965668352004 One thing that hasn't been discussed is that if the game wasn't moved and a few black players didn't end up going, the burning hatred of chud America would come down on those guys and MLB is taking the bullet for that now.

I think the MLB should do the right thing and put the ASG in a ballpark everyone adores and that has never been the subject to any issues ever. It's time for Tropicana Field to host the ASG.

Sports boycotts have worked in the past. Also, the revenue made on an all star weekend is miniscule in the long term especially given that the ASG was gonna take place in a town of 30000 people. And that isn't factoring in the cost of hosting it.

Also if anyone remembers the last time Coors hosted the ASG it was a very good slugfest: https://www.baseball-reference.com/allstar/1998-allstar-game.shtml A-Rod, Roberto Alomar and Bonds hit dingers and there were lots of scoring. I'm all for it again.
