MLB Moving All-Star Game Out Of Georgia After Pressure From White House

Major League Baseball is moving its July all-star game out of Atlanta, Ga., in protest of the new election reforms signed into law last month.

“Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a Friday statement, according to ESPN. “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft.”
