#3 And there's the 'logic' of MLB basically punishing people who didn't do a damned thing.

I remember when NC passed the bathroom / gender law some years ago and Pearl Jam cancelled a couple of shows, and naturally the lefties at Deadspin loved it. I read a comments section on one of those articles (over 60 comments) and not a single person pointed out - 'So why are Pearl Jam punishing their own fans who did nothing wrong here?'

#4 Raj I traveled to Asheville to see Death Cab for Cutie during that tempest and that was what they said, “Why punish our fans”.

A FEW QUESTIONS
Will MLB close up its offices in Atlanta?
Will MLB demand the Braves move?
Will MLB make the same statements against states with similar Voter Laws?

Because IF MLB had bothered to read the GA. Voting Law, they would have quickly noticed it has a lot of the same Voter Integrity Standards, allows more days for early voting than many, and offers a FREE GA Voter ID.

Which just so happens to be just like many other states including a handful of Dark Blue LIBERAL States.

So its really about sucking up BLM, Race Pimps & Liberals to regain some viewers after the Kneeing BS.

Otherwise given the similarity of Voting Laws between GA and numerous other states MLB might have to leave the USA or be down the 4 or 5 teams.

BTW: Didn't MLB sign a Big Deal with Communist China just prior to their GA.announcement?
Isn't Communist China a Major abuser of certain ethnic groups, MASS internment camps? Hasn't it acting to even to the level of ethnic genocide recently.

#6 Trying to sell merch, and merch is made in china.

This is all just a vessel; if they believed any of this bullshit for real, there would be nothing to protest because it would already have been done.
