Ex-MLB Commissioner Slams Commissioner Rob Manfred: ‘Made A Serious Mistake’ By Pulling Out Of Georgia

Former Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Fay Vincent slammed MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred in an op-ed this week for his decision to withdraw the league’s All-Star Game from Atlanta after Georgia enacted a new law aimed at tightening the security of elections in the state.

Vincent made his criticisms of Manfred in an op-ed published on Tuesday in The Wall Street Journal, calling boycotts an “act of desperation” and saying that Manfred made “a serious mistake” by rushing to pull the All Star Game out of the state “without first protesting the substance of the law.”
