Last week’s decision by Commissioner of Baseball Robert Manfred, Jr. to relocate this year’s Major League Baseball All-Star Game was wrongly decided. It outraged millions of fans and stoked controversy, and will hurt in very real ways many of the minorities it’s purportedly designed to help. The follow-on decision, to relocate the game to Denver, reveals that the original decision wasn’t really about access to voting, but was nothing more than woke virtue-signaling. While a decision to reverse course and re-relocate the game back to Atlanta won’t undo all the damage caused, it would certainly help prevent future damage. And it has the added virtue of being the right thing to do.
