Maybe it’s not proper to scorn Major League Baseball for its decision to move the All-Star Game from Georgia to Colorado for political reasons. Perhaps the more fitting reactions are mockery and pity.
There’s no defense for MLB’s action pulling the All-Star Game out of Georgia. A corporation based in New York, which has more restrictive voting laws than Georgia’s, has moved the Midsummer Classic to Colorado, which, like Georgia, has the supposedly objectionable voter ID requirement. It did so at the request of President Joe Biden, who is from Delaware, which also has more restrictive voting laws than Georgia. Why? Because Georgia passed a bill that generally expanded access to voting.
