Baseball’s decision to move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta will have a negative impact on minority-owned businesses in the city, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said.
The MLB made the decision to relocate the summer classic in response to a sweeping new voting law. But Kemp indicated the decision hurts the city more than it makes a statement.
“It’s minority-owned businesses that have been hit harder than most because of an invisible virus by no fault of their own,” Kemp said. “And these are the same minority businesses that are now being impacted by another decision that is by no fault of their own.”
He went on to say that this political move has impacted the “great American pastime” without considering what sports are supposed to represent.
“People shouldn’t have to go to the game and worry about if they’re sitting next to a Joe Biden supporter or a Donald Trump supporter,” Kemp said. “They ought to be able to go to the game, cheer for their team just like if you’re in church worshipping.”
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has said he made the decision to move the All-Star Game after speaking with players.
Virtue signaling doesn’t care who gets hurt. That’s why it “signaling”, not true virtue.
Exactly. This has nothing to do with the black small business owners who are hurt. It is all about sending a message to other larger businesses.
The Dems don’t care about small businesses. They’re on the side of major corporations. Elitists.
Hey, just roll out the U-Haul trailers full of weapons and arm them for the next BurnLootMurder event….
Pro Athletes and Entertainers had better walk very carefully.
celebs are granted favors by the IRS and some states, which allows dudes like Tiger Woods and other entertainers to gather cash in other jurisdictions and escape taxes.
entertainment businesses have favored statuses and permits, which is why they wanted Atlanta for movies and Australia for movie production.
entertainers world wide take advantage of US corupt tax law.
it will all go away.
