‘Knee-Jerk, Hypocritical, And Illegal’: MLB Sued For Boycotting Georgia Over Election Reforms

A small business advocacy group sued Major League Baseball on Monday over its decision to pull the 2021 All-Star game out of Atlanta, Georgia.

Job Creators Network sued the MLB, Commissioner Rob Manfred, MLB’s players union, and union executive director Tony Clark in a federal court in New York about two months after Manfred announced that the MLB was boycotting Georgia over election reforms. The MLB’s decision came days after President Joe Biden endorsed the league and other corporations wading into Georgia politics.
