I would feel even better if the change in the All Star game's venue was being discussed in terms . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . of moving it out of Georgia, not out of Atlanta. The fact is, Atlanta and its citizens were a big part of our victory and Senate majority.

1. Point well taken

2. I agree. It's not punishing anyone but the city of Atlanta.

The city loses the sales tax.

5. Yeah, I have mixed feelings here. n/t

3. The ballfield

was built in Marietta, A suburb of Atlanta. Turner Field downtown, built in 1996, was deemed too black. Too easy for the blacks to attend. No public transportation to Marietta. Less blacks. The field is a monument to white supremacy.

4. My guess is the people of Atlanta support this action.

6. I feel bad for all the citizens who will be hurt

Financially by what is happening to Georgia many who voted dem vote senate while republican. I just hope it makes them vote even more next time and vote out the state legislature.

Same in Texas and other states.

Dems should be using what they are doing in big ads.

7. Might Be Synonymous In This Case

It's highly unlikely they would play the game in a venue other than a major league park.
That makes Atlanta the only option in Georgia.
The wouldn't move the all-star game to University of Georgia's field or the minor league stadium in Savannah.
Almost certainly, moving it out of Atlanta means going to a different MLB park in a different state.
