How did this get passed? No, really. How?

Remove this racist mayor

Its terrible that Georgia is going to make sure they have a fair and legal election. Is that what shes saying?

Why just one game? Why not cancel the Braves whole season?

Make Georgia howl.

What restrictions It’s all a big lie.

Keep voting for these liberal slugs and you will get more of the same.

Why are you not reporting on the black supremacist that killed the capital police officer?

Canadians fully support the MLB decision. We do not care for anti-democratic tendencies. BAD reputation. BAD for BUSINESS

The left have gone absolutely straight jacket NUTS

If you believe that black people are incapable of getting an ID then you are a racist.

The Governor is destroying our economy yet he lives like a king. Our tax dollars pay his salary.

This will be in the news cycle for a week or two, then slowly disappear and businesses will quietly drop their protests...that is what their governor is banking on. Georgia will change when enough people realize that racists should hold no seat in government.

She looks very happy for having lost a lot of revenue for her city

Watch out for golf next...naah, there mostly white men.

Seek the truth of what was in the new bill. Elected officials lying to the people. It's not voter suppression, it's about honest voting. Hopefully, because now big money is involved someone in power will backpeddle to the truth about this bill or maybe not.

See what y'alls fibs will get ya. All ya gotta do is tell the real truth about Ga. Voting Laws. Fess up to the hogwash, sure y'all have pie on your face, but the game might just take place, in good ole lanta.Bless y'alls hearts. Do it for Ga.I triple dog dare ya. Bunch of crooks

Typical blacks & racist whites in power. I mean corporations & the Democratic party. Atlanta is mostly black, so let's hurt the black people. Kind of like black on black crime. This black tribal stuff needs to end. Your just hurting each other. Good job communist America.

Got to him them where it hurts, never give up!

The Governor knew what he was doing and with the timing. This is all on him.

I remember such boycotts were how we got MLK day.

I hate to say it and wish I was wrong but it won't mean s**t. The same thing happened in Indiana a few years back and the Republicans still run the show. They don't care, as long as they get power and line their pockets.

Pepsi on ice please.

lol. that stunt is a huge windfall for Republicans and they’re too dense to see it. it will make the Kavanaugh backlash look microscopic.

GA and other states taking voting rights from African Americans by MAN BABIES is wrong. I hope the American people will stand up for all the our people to have right to vote.

Is Parler shut down again or something? There’s always Facebook lol.

When people actually read the law instead of what hack jobs like Msnbc tell them about the law....people will start feeling pretty foolish. All MLB pulling out did was cost the state $$.

Thank you KeishaBottoms for understanding that the moment for real change is now! It is about “we the people” taking our power back. GOP can use their propaganda machine all they want - they cling to the past like a sinking raft. We see you

This is how it needs to be. 🙏

Cheering on the loss of 100 million dollars in revenue for the state? You mam are not qualified to hold public office

Responsible persons would actually read the GA voting laws & realize that many news orgs don’t accurately report that the laws expanded vote days. Others & GA properly require voter ID, which apparently many persons & “news” orgs believe many Americans are too ignorant to obtain?

CancelCulture and Hate will continue to thrive as long as the power hungry Democrats are in power. No cheating in baseball, no cheating in the elections! Too much to ask? Yup, it is for the Democrats.

rolandsmartin What’s voting have to do with baseball?

LCaliforinquena To me it's astounding that these white men are not only acknowledging their racism, they're doubling down on it, like they're in a safe harbor. But this is good. We really, really, need to have this fight out in the open.

Like George Bush, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.

Soccer? Atlanta was up for consideration for World Cup?

I believe Mayor Bottoms is right. GOP are getting all worked up about the MLB but IMO they're going to see many more organizations take a stand. This is about democracy. This is about the future.

Mayor, you ROCK. GA may save Democracy again. Accountability via Karma is your AG nailing the Former Guy for Voter Fraud. Thoughts n prayers for the victims of the mass shooting n victims of GOP. Your northern boarder neighbor.

Hey GQP, want to win the next election? Listen up: pass some legislation that makes your poor and working-class people better off than they were before the boycotts. But alas, I never taught compassion, I only taught reward and punishment. Carry on

What about the Masters?

Nope

BoycottTheMasters

Good. After the corruption and fraudulent elections ATL just held. I hope it becomes equivalent to a third world country.

Bottoms? No seriously is that her actual last name?

All you guys ever do is burn down your own lives

How come black ppl can’t get ID cards?

Black ppl really think they're Inferior it seems. Complaining about everything 🙄

But not the Masters⛳️

Atlanta Mayor Bottoms: Controversial Georgia voting law is 'dangerous'After the MLB decided to move its All-Star Game from Georgia in backlash against the state's controversial voting law, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) issued an executive order that aims to counteract the legislation's restrictions. She explains what it does and tells Stephanie Ruhle the 'most dangerous' part of the voting law is the state legislature's new role in the elections process. Oh my. The Dems wont be able to rig an election. That is precisely the problem with that legislation. Can you imagine what they would have done in 2020? The water is just a distraction from the real issue! We lost the game, let’s change the rules. Lynching (and the KKK) was once used to control African Americans now it is voter suppression (and closet KKK legislative representatives.)
