By now you know Major League Baseball’s front office announced that the All-Star game this summer would be moved out of Georgia because of the new election law that Democrats and the media hope nobody’s actually read.
Reportedly a new location has been found to host the game:
DENVER (AP) — AP source: MLB to relocate All-Star Game to Denver's Coors Field after pulling it from Atlanta over Georgia voting laws.

Colorado's Coors Field is expected to be the site of the 2021 All-Star Game.

The mayor of Denver is already excited by the prospect:
We are excited about the possibility of hosting the All Star Game and are awaiting @MLB’s decision.

If the game does get moved to Colorado, it’ll prove something: MLB didn’t do their homework, or hopes nobody else does:
So MLB is so pro-Jim Crow that they've moved the All-Star Game to a state that also requires voter ID and has fewer early voting days.
Somebody should stop them!

Colorado has voter ID.
Good job, @MLB. Kudos on your epic fail. https://t.co/INlJeGsEDh

MLB moved the game out of Georgia because Democrats told them to for political narrative reasons (except for those in the state who later realized the backfire from a financial point of view), but what’ll be the excuse this time?
So the difference between Jim Crow on steroids and not Jim Crow at all is 2 days @MLB pic.twitter.com/RI4lxkQcKF

Are we talking Jim Crow here, or Jim Eagle? Somebody ask the president!
They also have the same ‘ban on water’, just like virtually every other state.

Even worse…apparently Colorado has the SAME BAN ON WATER AND FOOD that Georgia just passed.
Oy vey. https://t.co/K9zCxYgFhC

Wow — MLB ticked off a whole lot of fans (some now former fans) for… what exactly?
I have questions. pic.twitter.com/fP0ngF4aAO

Colorado requires voter ID to vote in person — either a driver’s license, an IRS issued ID card, a valid passport, or a valid employee card with a photo. @MLB better be ready to explain why this is more acceptable than Georgia after that absurd political statement. https://t.co/QT1wDkTboY

At least they're moving from a 51% Black city to a 10% Black city in the name of justice. https://t.co/Mn5SDcP6Kz

So very woke!

Lemme get this straight…@MLB literally took money out of the hands of black-owned businesses (Atlanta has a majority black population), and moved the All-Star game to white AF Denver? To combat “racist” voting laws??? ??♀️ https://t.co/btRRql14F8

Good call @MLB I can’t wait to hear the explanations. https://t.co/67xMKJrdZc

They’ll have some spin ready to give the media, which will mostly run with it unchallenged.
