These poor, brainwashed Trumptards:
Following MLB's decision to relocate the 2021 All-Star Game out of Georgia, Texas will "not seek to host" the annual game or other league events, Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday.
In a letter to Neil Leibman, the Texas Rangers' president of business operations, Abbott declined an invitation to throw out a ceremonial first pitch at the club's home opener on Monday. The governor said he was looking forward to the opportunity until MLB decided to move the All-Star Game and MLB Draft out of Georgia following the state's newly passed voting restrictions.
Following MLB's decision to relocate the 2021 All-Star Game out of Georgia, Texas will not "seek to host" the game or other league events in the future.
I guess it's only "cancel culture" when Dems do it.

Is this what capitalism is all about? What don't Republicans understand. These capitalistic businesses are making brand decisions based on market feedback and looking at trends. They want to be on the right side of this with the majority of Americans, so they can continue to sell products and services. It's truly remarkable to me that Republicans don't see this."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

If you are looking for logic and consistency, politics is the wrong place to look.
They are very obviously hypocritical. Also, they don't care. The response will be "but the dirty libs did it first, we are just responding in kind".

Originally posted by chancellor View PostI'm not tracking with you. Which Republicans are saying that Coca-Cola and Delta and MLB can't make those decisions? I think you're conflating "they can't do that" with "we're going to use our market leverage to change their mind". Or punish them, which is definitely true in some cases.
Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina said he’s asked his staff to begin drafting a bill to remove the league’s antitrust law exemption in response to the decision.
“An overwhelming bipartisan majority of Americans support requiring an ID to vote, and any organization that abuses its power to oppose secure elections deserves increased scrutiny under the law,” he said in a tweet.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostMaybe. OTOH, the GA legislature has managed to raise taxes and has the GOP on their side for doing so. A sugar tax on Coke products would be another clever move if they can pull it off constitutionally. Or a revocation of some other tax breaks Coke has. After all, aren't those types of tax breaks just corporate welfare anyway?

Being blatant about it...well, of course. While I disagree with your Darth Trump analogy, it's pleasantly surprising to me to see the GOP hit the corporatists in the wallet hard. If corporatists want to come down on the side of the Democrats, they're still able to do so. They just don't get to do so for free.
That was my disagreement with ITC - the GA legislature didn't say, for example, Delta can't take a political stance. They just don't get to do so without balancing the tax breaks they may sacrifice with the supposed value of their virtue signaling.I'm just here for the baseball.
