Gotcha. Initial posts were suggesting Covid-related. Confused me.
NonDawg MLB all star game moved..
- Thread starter MasonR98
- Start date
May want to keep up to date on the news....this was proven to be false.
thanks for reminding me why I ignored you.
How does this new law prevent anyone that is eligible to vote and has id from voting
Vote @athensdawg88 for senate please
LMAO. You might have to delete your account when you get roasted by a poster named Doofus Dawg
They’d better move it to a state with less restrictive voting laws than Ga, which will be hard to do, because Ga’s laws generally allow for more access than most.
The past few months have shown how lies and distortion on both sides can drive the public and it’s a scary thing.

Amen because nobody even takes the time to do any research. It’s all posturing and pandering.
I was in shock. I'm actually still yelling internally LOL. Bought the full season package for 4 seats just to get 4 all-star/HR Derby tickets.
Total BS
It doesn't, but the Rs made a huge mistake in the early days of drafting this legislation, including much more prohibitive provisions, that opened the door to people being able to make these kinds of claims and having them stick. The bill that ultimately was signed into law doesn't really do a ton, but the early drafts fed into the narratives that this was all racially based and all of that was baked into the talking points against it.
Everything from Delta, Coke, MLB, etc in the aftermath is all just corporate CYA.
Well teams still gotta come to Atlanta . Kemp should restrict crowds at MLB games to no one in attendance including media and tv .
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian announced that the legislation was "unacceptable." In a memo to employees, he boldly announced:

What's really funny is that Bastian worked with state officials to help draft the law.
The Georgia House strikes back at Delta
Just as Georgia was a flashpoint after the election because of the run-off election for the Senate, Georgia is again a flashpoint now that the Democrats, led by Creepy Joe, are demonizing the sensible steps the Georgia Legislature enacted to prevent ...
I'm afraid that at least in my lifetime, it's not! The world as we know it has changed and unless you're willing to embrace lunacy you will be marginalized. I will go down fighting....but also teaching my children and grandchildren to stand firm and live for a Higher Purpose
While I'm pissed as all get out about this, this makes a whole lot of sense. Brian Kemp has not done himself any favors with his approach to certain issues and legislature and we're paying the price at times. While the bill is a huge milestone for our state, if the original bill was drafted in such a way to open the door to these claims (I haven't reviewed it myself but remember the original critiques, like you said) I think the Govna shares some part of the blame in this.
Man I hate my generation though. What does moving an All-Star game have to do with politics? We legit just had the NBA All-Star game with NO pushback at all and the bill has been in the works for A WHILE now.
The Delta and Coke guys had nothing to say until 72 prominent Black business leaders drafted the letter rebuking the law. What I haven’t seen from them is how this suppresses the eligible black or any voter who has id.
Truth. And the headline grabbing “food and water” part was not necessary.
The NBA was too busy turning the ATL into a war zone for their weekend (not that it took too much). No time to concern themselves with some bill in the works.
It's simple. War is being waged internally in this country. Most are asleep, DGAF or nuzzling up the government teet. The real question is what do we do to combat it realizing the media is completely one sided and feeds the brainwashed masses this b.s. every day.
The Governor is in a tough spot. He can't completely piss off the Trump voters that already don't like him because they all feel he is somehow culpable for the former President's poor 2020 performance. But he kept his head down publicly when this was being drafted and almost surely had a hand in the final product being moderated. And he's been the only voice out there pushing back against the narrative since it was passed. The man has hit more TV and radio shows in the past week than what would probably be otherwise possible if he weren't having to quarantine because of COVID exposure.
I agree on the latter part though. Sports are supposed to be an escape from all of the crap going on in the regular world and now it's like there's no part in modern society that politics can't find a way in and make worse.
I'm shocked you don't know how moving the All Star game can affect politics. Don't you remember Arizona losing the Super Bowl because they refused to honor MLK Day????
That actually didn’t happen and the Washington Post just printed a retraction 2 weeks ago,. They doctored the tape and then admitted they were wrong months later. Come on man!
Use to I would joke and take the liberal side here . You haven’t seen me do that because of this very reason .
there misinformation on both sides and that doesn’t help . The water boiling from people I know in the know . They are very concerned.
They weren’t trying to , they actually did it lol.
We're in the Chat. Get out quick!
Very sad. And you can say that without liking some personal traits about him. An arrogant person can do good things.
Stacy Abrams voting rights group bought the domain name www.jimcrow2.0.com 2 weeks ago because they knew this was coming. Do these morons have any idea that Jim Crow was Democratic Party stuff?
This times 1000. You also have more early voting time and voting booths open at least two weekend days.
Your overall point is right but the fact is An id is not required to buy alcohol via mail, only in person. You simply have to claim to be of age.
There are people with whom I vehemently disagree on nearly all political issues, and sports was a place where we could find refuge, co-exist, and even enjoy each other's company. And maybe in the process learn a little more about each other.
That zone is dwindling, and anyone who believes that each side retreating to their echo chamber will improve our society is focused only on the "now" and not the inevitable blowback from this type of societal Balkanization.
Basically your posts describes exactly how the legislative process works. It's a feature not a bug. The parties throw out extreme positions and they sometimes meet in the middle. This is a prime example where the Reps overreached, then reacted to the criticism and good and balanced bill was passed. It's rediculous.
