I will boycott all MLB activity. It's my personal stance that all organizations like corporations and sports teams should stay out of politics regardless of whether their organizational views are left or right. These organizations need to remain purely neutral IMO and let the politics be up to the individual people and politicians. Don't expect any commercial support from me if organizations choose to be political.
That's my view. Others may have their own different views.
AND I really resent political groups trying to force these organizations to take a political stance. The political groups are free to express their beliefs as much as they want but that's enough. They need to halt their bullying of others. It's bullying pure and simple.
I have no problem admitting that both sides are selective. Why is it hard for you to admit that?
Many claim to hate cancel culture, but they are quick to cancel Nike for supporting Colin Kaepernick.
My entire point was already made. I’m no longer engaging with this topic. Thanks.
I respect you said you were done with this thread and I don't blame you but is this the only example you have from "the other side?"
You can be mailed 1000 ballots.. only 1 is still counted. It would be great if everyone who was eligible would be mailed multiple ballots to get more participants in the process. I guess since so many people voted on the last election and it was as secure of a process as its ever been why change anything at all?
Again, individuals choosing to buy / not buy a product is an entirely different story than companies and institutions doing all they can to destroy others. Enjoy your day.
Baaahhh.. Actually, as an engineer, yes. You should try learning and research... not just what NewsMAX tells you...
i seen the invoices. go look, dont expect the msm to spoonfeed you mush. this will all eventually come to the surface as it has time and time again concerning anything trump.
You're wrong by a country mile.
MLB demographics
"my college buddies and I dont care a fig about what you want to label "woke" behavior or ideals." Neither I or the rest of the world give a fig what you and your college buddies think.
"it wont affect your average fan's decision to attend games. just the people who worry about political things i.e. you" You must live to be wrong, because you can't get this wrong on accident. I actually resent politics being injected into sports, from the 68 Olympics to today.

Nebraska is part of the NCAA - similar to the Reds being a part of MLB
NCAA bans all championship events in states where the confederate flag is flown
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved rules to allow student-athletes in all sports to wear patches on their uniforms for commemorative and memorial purposes, as well as to support social justice issues

Another option would be to fine Delta every time they land or depart later than scheduled at ATL
LOL, now Stacey Abrams is asking people NOT to boycott Georgia or Georgia corporations because those efforts would most hurt the low income people in Georgia who depend on those jobs. Next time maybe they should think it through first.
Very little actual thinking. Mostly overly emotional Karens, angry about everything, all of the time.
Just another reason for me to not watch it. F them. Stick to what you do best .... that is playing the game

Here are the most significant changes to voting in the state, as written into the new law:
- Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots. 3 months is an adequate amount of time to request a ballot
- There are strict new ID requirements for absentee ballots. They literally have to write their DL number on a form. - In order to confirm the identity of the voter, such form shall require the elector to provide his or her name, date of birth, address as registered, address where the elector wishes the ballot to be mailed, and the number of his or her Georgia driver’s license or identification card issued
- It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters. If a citizen wishes to vote, they should be able to request a ballot. The city, county, state, or country does not go pick up every person 18 or older, take them to a voting station then weed out who can vote, who wants to vote etc.
- Drop boxes still exist … but barely. So the mail now isn't good enough? There are still drop boxes available.
- Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned. Did they provide these mobile voting centers to other cities and towns or just in the low income and predominately democrat city of Atlanta?
- Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones. The provision also adds a second required Saturday of early voting (the previous law required only one), which will increase access to early voting in most of the state’s rural counties, where election administrators have often been short-staffed and have offered fewer hours of early voting. Most larger counties in the state already offered multiple weekend days of early voting. So basically they did nothing but allow rural counties the same courtesy of an extra Saturday that the larger counties already had. Sounds like a typical democratic tactic.
- Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges. Water is still allowed if provided by the county just not a political party. If the Republican party was providing food and water in the rural counties, then the democrats would be complaining that they were doing something illegal.
- If you go to the wrong polling place, it will be (even) harder to vote. Don't go to the wrong polling place.
- If election problems arise, a common occurrence, it is now more difficult to extend voting hours. Not true, it is not more difficult to extend hours, it only limits the extension to match the amount of time the problem lasted. If electricity went out for 30 minutes, the judge can extend the voting hours 30 minutes. It actually is less arbitrary, in the past if electricity went out for 30 minutes the judge could extend for as long as he/ she wanted.
- With a mix of changes to vote-counting, high-turnout elections will probably mean a long wait for results. This is asinine and all presumptuous. Actually, absentee ballots can be opened and prepared to count up to 3 weeks before election day. They just can't be counted until election day. A logical person would conclude that allowing the ballots to be opened and prepared to be counted would actually speed up the counting, since the only thing that needs to be done on election day is count.
- Election officials can no longer accept third-party funding (a measure that nods to right-wing conspiracy theories). I do not see how this is at all oppressive.
- With an eye toward voter fraud, the state attorney general will manage an election hotline. So a streamlined process is now somehow political. If the AG was a democrat, this would be seen as ok.
- The Republican-controlled legislature has more control over the State Election Board. What does Biden say? Elections have consequences, or does that only apply when the democrats control things?
- The secretary of state is removed as a voting member of the State Election Board. Don't see an issue with this.
- The G.O.P.-led legislature is empowered to suspend county election officials. Elections have consequences part deux
- Runoff elections will happen faster — and could become harder to manage. Could become easier to manage as well.

Bravo! The funny part about this as well is go look into Joe's home state of Delaware and a lot of other blue states. Wayyyyyy more stringent, but POTUS Biden continues to say this new voting regulation is the equivalent to Jim Crow. He might want to go back and read up on Jim Crow..... POTUS is a ******** senile ****.
He is, but I'm not letting him off that easy. He's a hack, a phony. Nothing much worse than a phony. Good thing we've got the media there to hold him accountable.
