OT:ASG moved out of Atlanta
- Thread starter DaTater
- Start date
Think I am taking the family for dinner to the sizzler. Their steak tips rock. Maybe sneaking in a few zimas. You are welcome to join us!
You lost me a Zima, but believe it or not....sizzler serves choice grade. Longhorn, outback , etc only serve it on occasion.
The bill makes it harder to vote, and gives more control over elections to Legislators.
Those are objective truths.
Those are objective truths.
Don't be mad at the Braves... Braves organization does NOT agree with MLB on this...
It's laughable to suggest this is "unbiased". We can go through and talk about individual provisions of this bill, but it objectively makes voting harder and gives the Republican led legislature direct control over election results.
It was drafted and signed by only Republicans. It's not "unbiased".
The Braves are part of the MLB. Whether they agree or not they are abiding by it. If they truly were against it they would protest and take a stand. They won't and that make them just as guilty. A few meager words on a paper doesn't prove crap to me.
Bill shit.
Part of this law is to address the long lines. It makes it a law to bring in more poll workers to keep people from having to wait more than an hour... and food and drink in line?
Shows you have been fed the ignorance on this one... the law limits food and drink being given out 50 yards from the polling place. 50 ****ing yards! Why? Because political groups were slapping voting slogans on water bottles and campaigning with food and water right in front of the polling place! That’s illegal in all 50 states.
Wanna feed folks a 4 course meal with a foot massage at 51 yards away? Go right ahead... and to suggest that someone can’t make it 50 yards without water... then vote online or absentee.
God I hate hypocrisy.
Thanks for the slur racist
It makes voting by non citizens harder. Which is illegal for them to do anyway.
It is easier to vote in Georgia today than it was 4 years ago.
As a season ticket holder, I’m upset about this just like many of us. But how exactly do you propose the Braves “take a stand”? By not playing Games? The players want to play, many have incentivized contracts, and we’re a WS caliber team - that would do nothing but make things worse. Plus, it’s a PR nightmare if the team chose not to play.
Not much the Braves can do imo
You mean like every bill in Congress that's passing through on reconciliation these days in a nation that is roughly 50/50? They are openly saying they don't care what Republicans want because they aren't getting it. Give me a break with your selective analysis.
Your second statement is undoubtedly true. And that's good. But it can be easier, and we should strive to make it as easy as possible (with security, of course, also in mind).
But your first statement is missing the point. I'm not talking about voter IDs, I'm talking about pulling back the number of drop boxes, limiting drop box availability to work hours (potentially), eliminating mobile voting centers.
By doing all of those things, you are making it more difficult to vote.
So then they really don't disagree with it enough to do anything about it? Ok. They won't but I as an individual, who watches and also purchases tickets and merchandise, will take a stand and boycott the MLB as a whole. That includes my beloved Braves.
Well at least you didn’t deny you are in a cult. So why don’t we meet one day and you call me racist to my face and see how it turns out for you.
I replied with a few examples to @Joe Cobb .
It's not a partisan statement. This bill makes it harder to vote in 2022 than it was in 2020. And I don't agree that the security concerns necessitate taking away the multiple innovations that were implemented to make voting easier in 2020.
The gaslighting on both sides is obfuscating the debate.
Voting should be easy and secure. You don't have to chose. This debate is about whether the 2020 election necessitates laws that increase security and lessen accessibility. I say it doesn't. You can have secure AND accessible elections.
Look at Colorado.
This situation got "out of hand" when the Republicans stated that it was a crime to eat or drink water while in line to vote. Conversations and reading anything in the bill "just went out of the window "after that and rightfully so.
Kind of surprised there is no political thread on the attempted coup on the nations capitol by the Nation of Islam. Prayers go out to the families of the deceased and injured officers
It makes voting illegally harder. For sure.
Laws that were passed in an effort to reduce voter fraud in a presidential election is reason to move a MLB all star game? What a joke. I won’t be watching
What he said are objectively true parts of the bill. Go look it up. Why are saying BS?
You dm me b*tch. I didn’t even accuse any individual on here personally of being racist I said the laws are racist but I didn’t accuse any one individual on here of being a racist. You went to far and I hope @Cris_Ard kicks you off the site and I’m fine if he kicks me off as well.

NJ, NY, Delaware and several other states have more restrictive voting procedures.
But I haven’t seen/heard the left jump on those states, or push for boycotts or moving events
Everyone should just calm down - this will work itself out.......you have to have an ID to get medications (Covid vaccine). So those who don’t get vaccinated are gonna die soon (per some in media). So they won’t be around to vote in 2022 anyways

There were no drop boxes 4 years ago. They have reduced the number to make them more efficient and where people don’t forget them.
Literally this was a response to the pandemic and the law makes them permanent.
Here for the @tigerfan700 v @BHPTiger ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN
Fundamentals always kill me.
The ID to:
drive a car
get utilities
fly a plane
open a bank acct
are generally the same.
im an Independent and think most of Dems and Pubs are pretty selfish. They see through the eyes of their party and living in fear of constantly 1 upping the other and not the public good. When we stray away from the fundamental way we identify for services like mentioned above...... it’s complete garbage.
This shit isn’t hard. Anything that doesn’t generally resemble those normal functions, it’s 100% complete horseshit regardless who it favors.
good luck Georgia and meanwhile our global enemies laugh while we destroy ourselves.

I don’t fight anymore. My Wachovia days are over but I’ll call a spade a spade without fear
I’m narrow minded f*ck you that is exactly why the included it in the law. This country is still racist. Didn’t say you were racist but the law is racist.
You have every opportunity and resources to be successful but you have chose to be a bigot and a loser. That’s not racism that’s a choice pal
What are you talking about the law makes it harder for people of color to vote period. Why are you so offended I said the country is still racist guess it struck a nerve didn’t it. Wasn’t meant for anyone personally on the board
