MLB Moves All Star Game Out of Georgia

[moonslav59]

They can still get water from people who are working the polls, just not from outside groups that are only there to electioneer. Saying they can't get water while in line is just disinformation from the media and the left. Not true.

 

Why should poll workers, who are already under enormous pressure and now time constraints have to go give water?

 

What is the purpose of not allowing someone else to give water, while here in Texas, they allow people to video and harass voters standing in line?

If there wasn’t the dumb provision about not giving water to people in lines, the law change wouldn’t have made news and MLB would have not moved the AS game.

 

They also wanted to ban Sunday voting but caved when they realized that would be too obviously targeting minority voters.

Have the people working the polls passed out water before? No.

Here we go again. Politics rears it's ugly head. Flashbacks to the late , unlamented Covid threads. The political bitterness of today can poison just about any aspect of life if we let it. How about ending this thread now , before it gets worse .

Probably a good idea.

It's ok for some.

 

Yeh. Best to end this. Already, we have 'some' bound and determined to expand this specific issue, where Georgia, the Braves, and Georgia citizens have been economically harmed by a political decision by the MLB and big business. Real "little people" facing economic harm.

 

Yes! End this thread! There is no upside to continued political back and forth, where BOTH SIDES have legitimate concerns and clarifications.

 

BOTH SIDES have fair points! BOTH SIDES will demagogue the issue.

Are you suggesting that these two events are in any way related?

 

No. I’m pointing out this type of action isn’t new. Just our reaction to it is...

This isn't going to end well if it keeps going.
