Effort To Return MLB All-Star Game To Atlanta Rejected

Small businesses in Atlanta, Georgia suffered another loss on Thursday as an effort to return the MLB All-Star Game to Georgia floundered.

The Job Creators Network — a conservative advocacy group — filed a lawsuit in federal court on May 31 against Major League Baseball, claiming the league’s decision to move the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta cost businesses in the metro area $100 million. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni ruled against JCN on Thursday.
