Originally posted on Sportsnaut | By Matt Johnson | Last updated 4/5/21 Just a few days after commissioner Rob Manfred stripped Atlanta of the 2021 MLB All-Star Game, a new city could be emerging as the hosting site for the Midsummer Classic. Major League Baseball announced Friday that it is moving the MLB All-Star Game out of Georgia following the state’s introduction of new laws that sparked anger over the potential ramifications on voting rights. The decision has received public support from many MLB teams, while the Atlanta Braves said they were “deeply disappointed” in a press release. Manfred spent several days weighing what course of action to take in response to the law signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on March 25. Following conversations with the Players Alliance, an organization formed by MLB to provide Black players with a greater voice following the 2020 death of George Floyd, and the MLB Players Association, the decision to pull the All-Star Game out of Atlanta became official.
