The MLB commissioner made the decision to take the All Star game out of Atlanta UNILATERALLY apparently. The Atlanta Braves are “deeply disappointed” by the MLB decision.
They are the Braves after all. They are standing up for what they believe.
Unfortunately, they don’t seem to know the law is reasonable. It’s now trending on Twitter as ‘The Big Lie.’
In any case, this is excellent.
The Atlanta Braves are deeply disappointed by the decision of Major League Baseball to move its’ 2021 All Star Game.
This was neither our decision, nor our recommendation and we are saddened that fans will not be able to see this event in our city. The Braves organization will continue to stress the importance of equal voting opportunities and we had hoped our city could use this event as a platform to enhance the discussion. Our city has always been known as a uniter in divided times and we will miss the opportunity to address issues that are important to our community.
Unfortunately, businesses, employees and fans in Georgia are the victims of this decision.
We will continue to support the community legacy projects which have been planned and are in process.

Good for the team. It appears that the ball players have more smarts then management. Who would have thought.
There is hope. It appears that Georgia is removing Delta’s tax incentives for it’s support of the MLB decision.
The Braves must change their name immediately will be the next demand.
The Cleveland Indians (racist!) are younger than the Braves (1901) and they will go first with a new precious woke name.
The Braves started in Boston in 1871 and are up there with the Cincinnati Reds (1869) for the oldest professional baseball teams.
O/T-guess who is also moving quickly? Don’t look now but China anschlussed Hong Kong and Russia is amassing troops and equipment near the Ukraine.
Don’t be fearful of WAR and rumors of WAR because it is the answer.
Why are the so-called Braves not in court demanding an injunction to stop this travesty and wholly illegal edict.. A school child would recognize this as an abridement of any and all contract rights and it must NOT stand.
